It's 38 jumps to Jita, and you're contemplating just what provisions you'll need.

While my personal favorite remains Lagavulin 16yo, I've also recently been enjoying Laphroaig 18yo while listening to a http://ralfy.com vid in the background.

What fine drams do you pilots partake of in the long lonely journeys across New Eden?

I'll never say "No" to a good bottle of mead.

This one in particular.

Sure, it's not a single malt, but whatever gets you through space.

Second the Lagavulin, though one of the the bottles in my cabinet right now says "21 years." It's the sherry cask-aged bottling, and bloody pricy, too. I doubt I'll ever pay that much for a dram again - though I don't regret it, either. Bloody perfect whisky.

Unfortunately, paying north of US$600 / fifth makes it 'Births, Weddings, and Funerals' only.

The 16 year Lagavulin is very fine, but there are matches for it in quality. I also have a fondness for Bunnahabhain, Macallan, and Laphroaig. My day-to-day tipple is Dalwhinnie, which is a very centrally-balanced whisky.

The amusing thing there is that about three commenters down in your link is an actual neckbeard.

Clone jump. 1 jump.

That's all fine and good if you're not transporting anything (like moving ships).

pffft, that's what contracts are for. I'm like Janet Jackson, I need a new spaceship each time I visit a different system so I just purchase and go.

So Johnnie Walker Red Label (yuck) and Red Bull while you camp? /ducks

Dr Pepper. 6 years sober from the hard stuff and I only drink a beer or 2 on certain holidays.

I truly enjoy Glenfiddich in all its forms and ages, it really is a wonderful beverage, nectar of the gods themselves

Huh. So there is. Never would have noticed had you not said something.

In addition to what you said above, A fine Macallan 15 served neat while flying a dreadnaught can't be beat.

I don't really drink much anymore, but I do enjoy the occasional single malt, like Highland Park, or better yet Glennmorangie. Got a few 18 year bottles stashed away.

dreadnought

excuse me, sir, I fixed your misspelling. perhaps you could spare a couple pence for this hungry young lad, me mum is on dialysis.

"but there's no such thing as dialysis in the 16th century!"

but I thought this is make believe, sir, where you drink and fly a dreadnought

I'm hoping you use Wine Preserver on it, or the oxygen will get to it eventually.

I've found the Macallan's to be hit and miss for me (as for the Laphroaigs). Macallan 12 I didn't like but 15 and 18 are very nice indeed. Macallan 18 is similar enough to Lagavulin Distiller's Edition that I tend to lean toward it instead (~ $60 less to boot).

Laphroaig: 10yo Quarter Cask is good but I haven't tried their main whisky yet.

I'll have to add Bunnahabhain to my "try" list as I've heard about it but not yet had the opportunity.

The amusing thing there is that about three commenters down in your link is an actual neckbeard.

I do. And the family is large enough and active enough that I'm not going to be sitting on it all that long. More weddings and births than deaths, fortunately.

Maccallan 12 is 'Meh - OK' by me; I much prefer the 15, and own a fifth - I will buy more when that is gone. Haven't tried the 18 yet, must add it to the list.

The Laphroaig 10 year graces my cabinet; I've had the Quarter Cask and 18 year and enjoyed them both very much. My mother has a case of the 18-year, and is not loathe to share.

Bunnahabhain 12 is a maked contrast to the heavy, peatier malts. It's light and airy, and has a long finish. I've got my sights set on some Bunnahabhain 18, but haven't gotten around to acquiring any yet.

just a nice 18 year old macalm or a plain 10 year old genmorangie please
Glemorangie was the first single malt i ever tasted yrars ago and to be honest i tasted alot of single malts that one still has something special

I just recently had a tasting of the generally available Glenmorangie range (10, 12yo sherry, 12yo port) and they were all fine specimens. I think I'd agree that there was more going on with the original 10yo. It's a good every-day single malt.

Oddly enough, though I've tasted the Glenmorangie, I don't recall it well. That's another bottle sitting on my mother's bar - Will have to sample again.

Having tried the Dalwhinnie DE again, I'm thinking more that it was a mistake. Just too much sherry, which creates an almost 'over ripe' flavor, completely dominating the distinctive sweet/vanilla/heather/citrus lead, though the smoke and peat do manage to peek out from under the sherry at the end.

Not an improvement, and I regret the purchase. My earlier comment on this dram was colored by the fact that I was distracted.



Have to add Talisker to my 'to be acquired' list.

Yes, I'm coming to the conclusion that many of these Distiller's Edition offerings are gimmicks to pump the price. Diageo isn't the juggernaut it is for no reason.
