    1. Raise your glass, cheers to good friends virtual or otherwise!

    2. What bottle are you drinking? What prompted you to choose it?

    3. Now that you've tried it, what do you think?

1. Cheers!

2. I'm drinking this:

It was actually chosen by the merchant.

3. It smells a bit like Worcestershire sauce (which I like a lot) and very faintly of pine needles at the end. On tasting, there's a note of leather, though not at all the kind of impression I get of leather when tasting a scotch, if that makes sense. It's not sweet, but it is bright without being acidic. So far, I like it a lot.

Edit: I can also taste a bit of nutmeg or allspice.
