The Yamazaki is universally beloved, from what I've seen, though I've not had it. I do have a bottle of the Hibiki 12 that I quite enjoy. So, it looks like you done real good!Quote:

What are you waiting for? Get that Yammy 12 now!:grin:Quote:

Bought a Talisker 18. The price was nice, and I liked my last bottle. Tempted to "stock up".
JW Green just because of the word it may disappear and the good reviews. I have never tried it so hopefully it will prove to be a sound purchase.
If you like the Black the Green is a treat.
Bruichladdich PC7 today while trying a few barrel selections at a local store.
Have not had it but here is a terrific video.Quote:
