REFINED VICES

What a conundrum! I still have not yet made up my mind, and due to the prolonged stay in these Teutonic surroundings (coupled with a lightening of the billfold), I believe I shall have to postpone the final decision 'til I reach the more acclimate surroundings of the mother country. For the interim,...

I was in the shops yesterday and was confronted with the question of whether to purchase a bottle of Single Barrel or Gentleman Jack. The price difference was negligible, but I was uncertain as to the interesting aspects of each different blend.

Any information would find you in my good graces.

I've had a few glasses of Laphroaig in bars on occasion. It is a favorite of my Irish friend, yet I have always found it to be too smoky for my liking. However, I am unsure as to which Laphroaig I have had exactly.

Jack is a tried and true friend. Dependable, adroit, and a good conversationalist. I shall raise my glass to him forthwith.

I enjoy my Jameson with 2 small cubes of ice. It takes a lot of the bite off it, but leaves a really mellow taste afterwards. The Lady Crispin has commented on the positive aspects of its flavor.

is it possible to add a - between the refined and vices?

Obligatory opening thread.

As I don't know many, I will go with my bottle of Jameson 12 year. Very smooth and delicious.

Hello good sirs and greetings from the continent.
