lcpfratn Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I guess it’s probably time for a new thread, and what better way to jump start it than with some purchases that I made during my recent trip in the Nashville area. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcpfratn Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 Love me a bit of Linkwood...That was by far the cheapest bottle of the four, so if I like it I’ll probably pick up another the next time I’m in that area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marekv8 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I've never really warmed up to the Batch 4, so this was quite the toss of the coin… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji6] Edit: I don’t mean that this is funky in any way, but others like to point out that I sometimes like things that they don’t.

[emoji12]It’s a fine whisky but it is about 60% over priced. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVMH usually sets the standard with their seasonal VAPs for both Ardbeg and Veuve Clicquot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no mention of it being UK/Europe exclusive so I would imagine so. It is selling out everywhere instantly over here, as expected, so be quick if it does! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpfratn Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 My first bottle of Glen Scotia of any kind...can’t find any where I live, so I grabbed this when I saw it at LRP while on a road trip to south MS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Tot Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I haven't figured Glen Scotia out yet. I once had a magic pour of a cask selection at a Campbeltown hotel, but I've also had some boring ones. The Rum Cask peated special edition for the Campbeltown malts festival, which is still available in Campbeltown, is really nice and great value in the current climate, but it's not "back up the truck" good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried a few Glen Scotias and I've come to the conclusion that it is a rather laid back malt, especially compared to Springbank. The GS 15 is superbly well balanced, which makes it a very decent non-complex sipper. I've yet to try anything from them that is a boundary pusher, but I think that's just their style. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marekv8 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Tough to pass up a 16yo Highland Park with an interesting presentation and very transparent specs for $75.00. Got trampled by the frenzied bourbon folks while trying to purchase it— clearly ’tis the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonNit Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Well that escalated quickly. I went from avoiding peat to having a sudden urgent desire in about a 3 week period and picked this up today. I decided to start slow with what I been told is a lightly peated bottle to start. I think I really like this. Such a great depth of flavors in Scotch. Springbank 10 is yum. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Present but well integrated— a smoky chassis for what can be a very muscular drivetrain. In this instance, the previous contents from the Rioja rinsed casks dominate the delivery, but the smoke and salt come through on the finish. Good news is that Highland Park offers 50mL bottles... I think these came from the nice guys at Liquor & Liquor in Tacoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonNit Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Indeed it was a nice next step. I think I’m ready to go all on peat. I think the local has the Ardbeg 10 with the campfire mugs for $45, may pick this up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
