    Well, given that I still don't know many inks, and own only about 10 bottles, my choice scope was narrow. But still a tough call.

    1. Montblanc Midnight Blue
    2. Iroshizuku Asa Gao
    3. Montblanc Irish Green
    4. Diamine Autumn Oak
    5. Herbin Rosé Cyclamem

    2016 is another year of me refining my preferred inks.

    1. Noodler's Black - My all purpose daily writer ink
    2. Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Rose - A spectacular, fun ink
    3. KWZ IG Turquoise - I love this ink as a turquoise and for the color changes
    4. KWZ IG Mandarin - This ink has a spectacular color change and looks good at all stages
    5. Sailor Epinard - An understated ink that I absolutely love but which is now discontinued

    but if you're opinions were valid they'd match mine.
