Thanks to /u/throwboats for the first two drams!

There’s this weird thing I have with Octomore.

I’ve reviewed a lot of them. And admittedly, living in Ontario, the part of Canada that hates alcohol that isn’t beer or wine (officially, the people still like it, but they are heathens), I started late, only ever seeing the 6th batch before anything else.

So on some level, they are this rare whisky. The most peated whisky ever. These mysterious dark chambers with all that smoke, cocoa, and bacon fat I’d want. That’s “hard” to find. Heck, the .2 are only at airports, and as someone who hasn’t travelled in a minute, that makes it rarer.

However now I’m older and bitter, and perhaps a bit cranky. I’ve had many releases. I still have four bottles of my own of a whisky that ends a night after it’s drunk.

Not to mention this…
