What Wee Dram Are You Enjoying Now - Fall 2013/Winter 2014

[devillighter]

Sipping on a Battlehill bottling of Bowmore 28, starting to get scared that I am liking the Dark Side

Never thought I'd see the day!

[michaelturtle1]

No need for fear my friend...

:70358-devil:

BTW, I need a job where I can drink during the day on Mondays.

:bigeyes:

Not so much drinking but sampling, there was an issue with this years FRsmbLE getting to a state close to me so I let my whiskey guy taste this years. Since he did not have any samples of bourbon he let me taste the Bowmore..

As for it being a fear of mine, I was watching him unpack 3 bottles of 36 year Port Ellen that wholesaled for over $1K.. Let's just say that made something pucker just thinking about the consequences....

[LostBottle]

I hear that Port Ellen stuff is decent.

Allow me to pull a play from the bourbon forums "you know it's just Caol Ila in a fancy box with a huge markup, right?"

[LostBottle]

Ha! Don't forget that Clynelish knockoff stuff.

I am referring to the Clynelish-in-a-fancy-package that goes by the uppity name of 'Brora'.

Bruichladdich 10! My initial bottle was maybe a bit off but I bit the bullet and tried it again due to GR8 reviews here and elsewhere. I am glad I did. This is a very good value here in Manitoba Canada. $53.50 plus taxes. 46% ABV,no carmel added and not chill filtered. What more can U ask, good taste and a value purchase.

[MtnDew]

Having a small dram of Yamazaki 12, forgot how good this stuff is! I may have to pour myself some Nikka Pure Malt Black tonight as well!

[ChainWhip]

Clynelish 14 OB

Balvenie TUN 1401 Batch #9

G&M (Connoisseur's Choice) Brora 1982/24yr (thx to the kind SB'r for the sample)

Glenfarclas 21 and a follow up of Macallan CS,as the temps continue to drop I can see some well deserved Islay's making their way back into my opens section as well.I have to say as it snows here this morning some Lag 12 is really calling out to me as this evenings pour.

[BoyScout]

Just returned from an annual camping trip gave me the opportunity to open (and finish) a bottle of JW Gold Centennial that has been sitting around far too long. It was good but I still prefer the single malts.

Nice. I love the stuff too for a change of pace from the peaty stuff and am always impressed by it. Enjoy!

Hell yeah, that's my kind of 1-2 punch.

I had a small pour of the 2012 Lag DE a few nights back, but was overwhelmed with some heartburn and wound up throwing in the towel. It'll be full blown scotch time sooner than later.

3 inches of snow on the ground here it's scotch season officially as of today!

I drink what I kill, and since it's always hunting season, well then by gosh it's always whisky season!

[MyOldKyDram]

To whisky season!

Laphroaig Cairdeas 2013 Port Wood to kick off the evening while watching Breaking Bad Season 2.

Had a little Glenfiddich 18 earlier in the evening. May pour myself something else in a little bit, like maybe some Glenmorangie Finealta.

Damn fine stuff...it's got an effervescence about it. Now, to find a bottle...

[JamesW]

Last night I cracked open some JW Blue I picked up at duty free. Smooth but not all that impressive for the money. I had some JW Gold 18 afterwards to compare and I like it better. Still my favorite blend.

If you haven't already tried it, you might find the 15yo Green even better than the gold.

[savagehenry]

Aberlour A'Bunadh - on my first bottle and really enjoying it. Haven't really had Scotch in over a year.

Drinking some Dewars 12 out of a paper hotel cup... and it's ok. It's funny, I know that taste can change based on mood, food consumed, what side of the bed you woke up on, etc... but I'll say it for Glencarin, no whiskey tastes as good as when sipping from those glasses, at least in my opinion. The previous Dewars 12 I had at home was quite a nice dram for the price. This one has fallen somewhat flat.
