Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music?

My mouth is watering, I'm thirsty, and I have no Yquem to quench my thirst... If I may say so, that's a wine club with excellent taste-- good for you!
I remember buying Haut Brion for FFr ~18/bottle (that used to be $~3) about 20 years ago!
If memory serves, the best Cheval Blanc I've had (not that I've tasted many) was a '69, followed by '71 & '75...
Clink!

Laphroig with a tiny dribble of cool water added.

Gregm, my very first fine wine was a 71 Ch. Ausone. It was in 1982. It really rocked my world. Even though 71 was only a good year, this Ausone lives in my memory. The bouquet simply filled the dining area. That was when I realized what fine wine was all about. Not a bad start. I've stayed with the Bordeaux all these years, and never been disappointed. While I enjoy the wines of California, Germany, Australia, and Italy, nothing beats France for wine. And especially the Bordeaux. A fine filet mignon with Bernaise, New Potatoes Provencal, and some tender asparagus tips, with a baroque chamber ensemble in the background, a fine vintage Bordeaux, and a group of close friends at the table is pretty close to heaven, in my opinion.

If smokie scotch is desired. Try Talisker, a very smokey Single malt.

Dont get me wrong I drink 90% of my scotch room temp.
When I am having a Cuban though I like it cold. But would never insult the scotch with water or Ice.

I also like 20+ year old Chianti Classico Riserva's which I have cellered and cared for.

Sambuca with 3 espresso beans...No fire.
