Marekv8 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 A spicy, smoky Dalwhinnie/Caol Ila dry hump… a pleasant surprise. Too bad that this classic pack is being dialed out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guss West Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 This 2005 BenRiach Peated/Port Dram is stunning. Think like, taking a break from raking leaves on a cool damp autumn evening with hot cocoa and warm cherry pie around the fire pit. I went back and bought the other bottle. Drams like this are why I whiskey. I also whipped up a batch of smokey monkey, another cracking blend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vosgar Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Third day in a row with an Islay goody. Tonight it's a 2007 Binny's G&M Caol Ila. Young at 7yrs, hot at 120.6 proof, but with water to bring it down to around 100 proof it's very tasty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marekv8 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 My sample bottle finally ran dry, so I had to pop the full size version. Sure wish I could happen across an indie Oban at some point to compare the OBs against. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiserhog Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) I bought Ardbeg 10 and am really enjoying it. Between this and Laphroaig 10 I've become a complete Peathead. Bourbon is still my favorite though. Edited August 28, 2019 by kaiserhog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marekv8 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Second time I've had to perform surgery on these new Macallan trick thread closures-- I guess these bottles really aren't intended to be opened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonNit Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Having a good pour from are friends up North. I’m intrigued by this. I thought Canadian whisky was a blend of different barrels. If this a barrel selection of one of there mixing barrels I’m intrigued, which I’m assuming it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Was convinced by a coworker to try the Glengoyne at a very unique bar in bar in Paris. I picked the rum and the Madison Du Whisky Scotch selection. Wow just wow. I’ve been off Scotch for 10 years but these have reopened my eyes. The idea of people paying prices like $200 plus for W12 but leaving stuff like this on a shelf is mind boggling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very soft to drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yum, enjoy! I like the Ledaig 10. It has gotten a bit more difficult to find stateside, at least around me, but worth seeking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely worth seeking out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonNit Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 This is quite nice for the price. Picked it up at duty free on Saturday. Just getting back into Scotch after a long hiatus. Need to search here for a primer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 It's not a secret that Tamdhu's Batch Strength is on my blacklist. This batch 2 was very difficult to get through in 2+ years with the strong artificial vanilla car deodorizer nose. I'll stick to A'bunadh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marekv8 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Laphroaig 10 at ATL on my way to Kentucky... lots of dudes ordering mimosas— letting it all hang out on a Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Port Charlotte 10yr, which was supposed to be a liquor store stand sample, but turned out a hefty pour, I think I'm all set for tonight. Excellent and unique stuff from Bruichladdich as always. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 End of the weekend pour, and not sure there is another whiskey I might choose over it. I have loved every single pour from this bottle. I hate to take the last pour and put it down, but I saw one at a local last week that I can pick up to replace this week. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
