MacAllan and Laphroaig being particular favourites. ![Smiley :)](https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/Smileys/classic/smiley.gif)
... and you're right... JRemote is pretty awesome, especially on iPad.
Those two are also quite wonderful. I've never had the 25 year Macallan, but I have had the Laphroaig a few times, and I've certainly had younger Macallans before.
One of the nice things about bourbon is that it can serve equally well as sipping whiskey and in a mixed drink (if you don't get trash). Sometimes, particularly on a warm spring evening, you just want something cool and refreshing. Muddled mint and simply syrup (basil works nicely as well), or
ginger ale Canada Dry and a squeeze of lime, are just right on those kinds of days. It also tends to be quite a bit cheaper for good quality stuff, at least here on our side of the pond. That Bulleit is fantastic and it is usually around $25 a bottle. Eagle Rare is also quite good and cheap.
I wouldn't, of course, dream of doing that with a nice bottle of single malt. I am sometimes guilty of using smaller ice cubes though (I have a "big" ice cube tray, but it is never full in the freezer when you want it and the automatic ice machine is
right over there). I know, I know... I could go without. But, well, I'm an American.
