This is MY bottle, sitting on my Glen Holst table as proof. |
I know I've taken a lot of pictures, but I can't begin to tell you how much this drink has completely revolutionalised the way I look at whisky/ey. I used to be an exclusively Scottish single-malt snob, but no more. Don't get me wrong - I still love single malts, and will keep drinking them, but my horizons have now been conclusively expanded to include other expressions. It also helps that Jim Murray has rated this the 2nd best whisky/ey in the world in his 2011 Whisky Bible.

I also picked up a bottle of hell and damnation. No kidding - that's what it's called, in Dutch anyway. At 10.2% alcohol by volume, that's how you might feel the next day if you polish off an entire 750ml bottle on your own.
Hel & Verdoemenis, brewed by Browerij De Molen in the Netherlands, is a dark rich stout that is made with cognac. Goes well with a cigar. The label proudly trumpets that " This beer will be good for 25 years if kept Cool and dark" Not sure why they capitalised the "Cool". But hey, it's the Dutch. And they make good beer!
