meadeweber Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Mac 12 Double Cask after some spicy Chinese food. To me Scotch holds up much better after spicy food compared to bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that they came out with a new AGE STATED release and I like it better than the regular 12 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJND Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Putting the finishing touches to a Mac 15 and then went to some Hakushu 12 to finish out. Both were very satisfying! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeAndMyWhiskey Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Last night had my first autumnal (even before the equinox, GASP!) dram of Lagavulin 16. Scotch and bourbon are not an either/or they are a both/and. There is nothing I've found readily available on a shelf that is quite like the Lag 16's balance of smoke, sweet cereal, and just a hint of fresh fruits and citrus. And that finish just warms me from the inside. After several minutes I realized that I kept raising the empty glass just to breathe in that sweet smoke long after my last swallow. There is just something about it. I knew that I needed to move on with my evening and that I shouldn't pour another drink, but I just didn't want that quiet moment to end.

Lag 16 is in my top 5 whiskies made anywhere on this planet. Great, great, Great whiskey. I'll hit it myself this evening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a more well balanced Sherry expression from what I remember but I'm hoping to do a SBS in the near future and I'll have more details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prof_Stack Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Tonight I finished the last wee bit of some nice 13-year Trader Joe's Speyside Scotch, about 35g. Sipped slowly neat, it's a nice pour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
