I had the Glenfiddich 18 and I didn't like it. Don't know if I got a bad bottle (not all bottles taste the same sometimes), but generally Glenfiddich doesn't usually agree with me. The Macallan Terra is lovely. I haven't had Ballentine 30 year, but the 25... 

Edition 6 is amazing.

Edition 6 is amazing. If you like candy, you'll love Edition 6 which has notes of coffee, chocolate, caramel, almond toffee, butterscotch, and brown sugar. Lots of candy notes. It's also higher in alcohol - the alcohol is a little sharp, but the strong ca... 

Also have to get yourself some chocolate!

This chocolate bar can be bought at airports. Make sure you get the one with dark chocolate and the dried fruits and almonds! It's one of the best bars they sell and they only sell it at airports! I adore this pattern from Lalique and the "Hulotte" owl pa...

This year I had to buy myself a hat for the first time in my life as it felt like in 15 minutes the sun could scorch my head! I see that you have the perfect double trio for the summer, platinum lemanias and some good whiskey. Hope you enjoy!

I’m with you with no reserve for the watches 🤩🤩🤩 As for the whisky I would go for a Kavalan Solist Sherry as for my taste 😉

Yes a bourbon whisky

197 proof. Easy to drink. Just finished a bottle having some friends over, one more on the shelf. Liquor stores do seem to have better supplies this summer, however.
