Kane Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Mmmm can't go wrong with Edradour + Oloroso. We can clearly see your enthusiasm Does it taste soapy like other sherried Edradours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Enjoyed a healthy pour of Lag 16 last night after a crap day at work. Nothing like a wallop of peat to make things better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Laphroaig Cairdeas 2018. I love peated Oloroso; this one's Fino, and it's waaaay different. Very dry compared to the standard 10yr CS. Not my favorite Laphroaig expression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't taste like Laphroaig to me. I guess I like my Laphroaigs on the sweet side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we feel differently for the same reasons, I like it because it feels unique, as a daily driver I'd prefer the 10 yr CS but unlike the CS Quarter Cask I feel good about the purchase on this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcpfratn Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 I found an old Cutty Sark Berry Bros. dusty today, and decided to give it a go. It’s a very easy drinking blended scotch. I’ve never tried the newer versions under the Edrington Group or the new ownership, so I don’t know how they compare, but I can see how the original Berry Bros. & Rudd version was once the favorite blended scotch in America. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Celebrating the end of a long week with a nice pour of Macallan CS. Bumped this up against a sample of Macallan Classic Cut 2018, which only confirmed how much I'm going to cry when the first is gone. But that won't be today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that won't be today [emoji4] I think I probably agree with you Gary, after having a pour of that CS when you brought it to Bardstown. However, a better comparison is probably the Classic Cut 2017 batch since it closer in proof to the original Cask Strength. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vosgar Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 The lovely Mrs. Vosgar and I had lunch at Dundee Dell in Omaha today. I'd been told about their fantastic whisk(e)y selection and it didn't disappoint. This 28yr old Balmenach, at 50.3% abv and non-chill filtered, was amazing. If you have a few minutes to kill, here's their menu https://www.dundeedell.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/dundeedellscotchlist.pdf We're in Omaha visiting our son and his family, would it be wrong to take the grandkids to a bar for lunch tomorrow? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn - impressive doesn't quite describe it; that's amazing! And fairly reasonable too! Oh - and I went to their web-site to check out their food; you're covered - they've got a kids menu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dad-proof Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 A friend offered a pour while on the back deck watching the kids. Good summertime choice. My contribution was less season appropriate, but he wanted to try it, so so we enjoyed a pour it Flaming Heart after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Totally digging on this Amrut Fusion tonight. Nothing new for me, as this is one of my favorite whiskies of any type. Sweet, spicy, thick, chewy...just an explosion of flavors. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No opportunities to buy one in my area that I’m aware of, and some other shiny object always seems to get my attention when I see one during my travels.

When I was in Scotland a couple of years ago one of the hotels we stayed at had a bottle of 15yr Edradour (not the Fairy Flag bottle) that was one of my favorites of our trip. I've been unable to find one anywhere. Not sure it ever made it to the States, but if you ever see one, grab it (and let me know!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
