Favourite songs for favourite drams

There's nothing more relaxing than sitting after a long day and pouring yourself a wee dram of something special and sticking on your favourite tunes to chill to. At any other time, I like funk, soul, jazz - big brass sections, lots of swing and rippling rhythm. But to just sit back and find peace - I go a different way.
Try these tunes for size - and get yourself a Balvenie Doublewood, a Tomintoul 16 year old, maybe a Highland Park 12 or the new Fettercairn 16 year old. Not all together of course! Just mellow out.
I must point out with this music selection though, I am just about sliding to where I love to play the most with the final track by Judy Garland - it's a live recording - what a performer - the sheer chutzpah and oomph are incredible!
