Old Pulteney 12 to start. Eyeing the top shelf tonight. Maybe next an HP18 or a Talisker 18 or both!

Glen Garioch 10 again tonight. This is a tasty beverage!

You can't go wrong with a nice pour of JWB!! I had a few huge pours last weekend at a wedding. Its a very good blend. I was getting a lot of black licorice from it last time, yum!

Once again at the very same restaurant where we'd we had eaten before, a party of 10 of us ate there this past Saturday. And once again I had JW Black. Two healthy pours. This time I did get a hint of black licorice. Not much, just a hint. If the flavor had been overpowering It would have put me off of having a second glass.

If I had a bottle of JW Black here at home I would taste it side by side with what is left in my last bottle of Green. The black seems to have something in its taste profile that I don't detect in the Green label. Something that if it isn't overpowering (I'm not a fan of licorice or anise), adds to my enjoyment of the whisky.

In the glass today....

Inverarity 10year Single Malt from Speyside Highlands. I believe that it is an older bottling because it is using the old label style.

I find it to be a wonderful Scotch. Bits and pieces of grain and peat....sprinkled in with some peat and iodine. Just the right amount of barrel char to smooth things out a bit. I also get some honey in the nose.

I don't know what the new label of Inverarity taste like, but this one is a winner.

I don't know who sources the 10 yo but the 14 yo is Balmenach and is very very good.

[AVB]

I did a bit of digging and found out that the 10 yo is Aultmore

[mozilla]

Has it always been Aultmore? I thought there were a couple of different versions of the 10yr??? Maybe, Linkwood?

I am pretty new to scotch, so I am unclear on this one.

[AVB]

The single malt has been but they do have a 10 yo blend.

[mozilla]

This bottle is a Single Malt...and has lot's of character. Seems alot more Islay than a Speyside would normally be. Is this normal for an Aultmore whisky?
