kevinbrink Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 It has been a long time since I had a Glenfiddich, picked this up on a tip from a friend and have to admit it is pretty damn good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Government Beard Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Having a taste of this tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Another pour of my Christmas bottle of Ardbeg An Oa. It's got all the classic Ardbeg peat with some sweetness. The sweet is a little one dimensional and it's got some rough grainy edges to it as well. I assume that's from the age, or lack thereof. Still its an enjoyable dram. I'm watching the Kingsman movie. Didn't have any Old Forester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrey r Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Last evening, a nice pour of Glengoyne CS Batch 4. This is a lovely whiskey. Very pleased that it is NCF and natural color. NAS, but tastes like it has some age on it. I am not out looking for this stuff, but I have come across two bottles of this at around $70 or so (bought both), and well worth it IMO if you like this style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever had a Glengoyne, that one is kind of a sherry bomb correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Glengoyne is generally (always?) sherry matured, similar to Aberlour, Macallan, Glenfarclas and Glendronach. The Glengoyne CS is in the same ballpark as the Aberlour A'Bunadh, Glenfarclas 105, and Macallan CS or Classic Cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice I'm a bit sherried out at the moment but I'll have to keep that in mind considering I don't see Glenfarclas 105 much these days, I know one of the Clifton stores has it, and A'bunadh is a pretty spendy at this point for a NAS. Still haven't grabbed a Classic Cut yet but there seems to be plenty around right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One other thing, if you like Sherry Bombs, TW has the Deanston 10 PX Cask Strength, the price is great on that one $59.99 I like it quite a bit especially as a desert pour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When friends drag you to a crappy dive bar, they often have this and no other decent Scotch. Always saves the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Vino Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Celebrating the return of 40 degree weather in NJ with a nice pour of Glenfarclas 105. My favorite sherry bomb (meaning the one open on the bar). More consistent than the Aberlour A'bunadh batches. Admit I'm tempted by the Deanston... But I AM trying to clear the clutter on the bar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A reminder of the fact that I need to grab that Glenfarclas 105 I keep leaving on the shelf one of these days, if only to do a SBS with A'bunadh and the Deanston 10 and then sleep really well. Me I'm capping the night with Talisker Storm which inevitably means I will actually cap off with a small pour of Talisker 10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Had a last minute decision on what to fill a 100 mL bottle with for a quick trip - knowing I might not even get to it, and if I did - might not be in a position to really enjoy it. Enter Clan MacGregor (375 mL I bought to check the box and ensure there wasn't some bottom shelf gem I was missing). Spoiler alert - not missing anything. But, reminds me of Scotch - and makes me thankful for what I've got back home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beasled Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Moving on.. this is so different to the 16. Not tried the 10 yet. This is fruity and sweet compared to the 16s earthy savouriness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Vino Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Blended Highland Malt aged in sherry casks. 40%. Nice enough. For what it is, I prefer the Macallan 12. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRich Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 I’m putting a hurtin’ on the last third of my bottle of Yellow Spot. Damn, I love this Irish whiskey.
