Highland Park 18 last night while watching a good movie. That dram is exquisite!
Had a dalwhinnie 15 last night, still trying to find my legs with scotch as I wasn't too impressed again.
Glenfiddich 12. Really, not bad for 35 bucks.
Laphroaig 30 yo for a special celebration. Mmmmm . . . Thanking ErichPryde for finding it for me!!!
Come on... share. What's it taste like? The oldest Laphroaig I've tasted was 15 year old... and it was excellent. I would assume it has lost quite a bit of it's peat bite?Quote:

I did a review of it 6 years ago here if you want to read it.
Tonight's dram is Campbeltowm Loch 30 and the previously released (and reviewed) 25. The 25 has a slight edge.

Anyway, I killed the bottle. Good thing I have an emergency backup.
Care to explain how this is a foreign whiskey?
