Paddy Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Picked up a bottle of Whistlepig today at $79 and change. Love me some of that 10 yr old, 100 proof, Canadian rye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearmark Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Picked up 2 bottles of Glendronach 15yr Revival and 2 bottles of Laphroaig Cairdeas Portwood.Nice haul. Revival has been discontinued, so get what you want soon. It's a great single malt!That Port Pipe Cairdeas is from 2013 and the 2015 ex-bourbon version for their 200th Anniversary is on shelves now. You might want to consider a Laphroaig 15 (another 200th re-release) before it disappears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Santana Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Balvenie 12 year Doublewood and Glenfiddich 14 year, the one that used bourbon casks. I'm not much of a Scotch guy, but had a chance to try both before I bought them and found them enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffrey r Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Bought my first scotch in quite a while yesterday. Not a huge fan of basic blends or the peaty types, so I decided to go for a couple of finished scotches, the Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban and Glendronach 12. Quick SBS last night, and both were solid, though I think I preferred the Glendronach. Going to try to pick up a Glendronach Revival to step up a bit. I could see the Glendronach 12 being something of a staple in the arsenal. Glenfarclas is next on my list in the 12 year arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenfarclas is next on my list in the 12 year arena.The Glendronach 15 has been temporarily discontinued so might be tough to find a bottle.Like you, I prefer sherried scotches and non peaty. Started with Glanfarclas 12, nice pour but was getting a medicinal and earthy taste from it. Stepped up to Macallan 12 and enjoyed it. Then picked up a bottle of Aberlour 12 NCF, woah, amazing.Let me know your thoughts on the Glenfarlas 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still some of those around to be found. I'll definitely give the Aberlour 12 NCF a go as well, but the price seems a bit high around me (and it's not available everywhere). I'll keep my eyes open for the Aberlour though. Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Santana Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 That would be 90% (my guess) of Scotch whisky ;-)Agreed, but Glenfiddich also has a 14 year that uses Caribbean rum casks, hence the differentiation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnybogey Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Non chill filtered.Many seem to enjoy the 12 yr. NCF over the standard 12 yr. I haven't tried the standard so I can't comment, just what I've read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried the standard so I can't comment, just what I've read.In addition to being NCF, it's bottled at a higher ABV, which also contributes to better enjoyment.

Auracom Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Ordered a Kilkerran Single Cask from Master of Malt.Very, very intrigued myself. I've had a couple of the WIP Kilkerran's, both sherry and bourbon, and enjoyed both quite a bit. Less chameleon and nuanced than Springbank but still plenty interesting. My only hesitation was the use of Calvados for this single cask. If sherry I'd probably find myself placing another order....Speaking of which, I just got in my upcoming birthday bottle - a 27 yr single cask Cambus from Douglas Laing. Added some interesting samples while I was at it - Black Bull 40 yr (release 5), Benrinnes 23 yr, and Lagavulin 21 yr (2007 bottling). I fully expect either/both the Black Bull and Lagavulin to among the very best drams I have ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meadeweber Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 That would be 90% (my guess) of Scotch whisky ;-)He's talking about this one. It's new and a little different. It's finished in new American oak. It's a US only release. Obviously they are trying to attract the American bourbon drinker.http://www.glenfiddich.com/us/collection/product-collection/core-range/bourbon-barrel-reserve-14-year-old/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
