After last nights Longmorn 12yo H-t-H's tonight its the turn of Bunnahabhain 12yo . The Standard 12yo , The Cask Strength 12 2021 , 2023 and 2025 . The 2021 is a bottle Kill hence the larger pour.... My excuse anyway !

A trio of 12yo Longmorns , My own Lhanmorgund, A Signatory and a SMWS 7.282 'Peaches on Parade'. The first two were distilled on consecutive days . A Fruit bowl of delights !

Luckily I'm working inside at the moment , Doing the BMS controls for a heating syste , This is the view I had earlier , It's an old Tramway Generating Station that is now a church (!?!?), I have been up higher on the Spyder that is in the Pictures up to the de-strat fans. Not for the faint hearted!

Starting the evening with a Classic Bunnahabhain , A SMOS 1979 bottling from a Bourbon Barrel , lovely stuff , different to the standard O.b.'s which usually are sherried or contain Sherry matured stock .
