What's your "celebration" whiskey? When you close a big deal, what's the first thing you reach for? Mine is a 2015 Old Forrester Birthday Bourbon.

Laphroiag PX - like whiskey, port and a cigar in one.

Agreed, but it’s in the best possible way. The port finish softens some of that smokiness that puts people off your very peaty Islays.

Highly recommend picking up a bottle if you’re in the airport.

Hakushu 12 for me. Will try to get the 18 soon after its finished.

For personal milestones (birthdays/anniversaries) I reach for Balvenie 21, Oban 18 or Blantons for professional celebrations, and for just having a good day, either woodford or 1792.

Love Blanton's. I have a bottle on my shelf waiting to be opened after the next win.

I’ve been sick the past few weeks but it’s finally clearing up and I can enjoy the subtleties in my collection again. Tonight’s pour is the 06.1 Octomore. It’s like Oban, Lagavulin, and Talisker had a love-child.
