GaryT Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Did a blind-bottle grab in the cabinet and came up with CB The Spaniard. Wow - been a while since I've poured this one, and can't for the life of me think of why. Definitely on the sweeter side, but some incredible richness of flavor for 43%. A fine way to kick off a (likely short) Friday night. Cheers SB! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marekv8 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 This may beat Little Book III as Beam-Suntory's most interesting new release… I've never had a Canadian like it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marekv8 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I like everything about this one-- going back in time with an extremely well done Tomatin-forward blend… the grain component seems very recessive, and wow-- what a finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I polished off the remainder of my first bottle of Loch Lomond on Thursday night. I have to say, I quite enjoyed it. I'm the novice malt drinker. I've been reading what you guys post, and watching Ralfy reviews. I've compiled a short buy list. Finding that stuff is another story. Then again, Ralfy is in the U.K. I'm not opposed to blends either, if they are good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Well, it’s low 50’s and has been dreary rain most of the day, so crossing over to where this type of weather is more warmly tolerated. Compass Box Spice Tree is right on message for that. The honey notes really soothe this whiskey’s boldness. You know, I might be needing to fire up the pipe with this pour. A little Captain Black in the bowl seems like it could be a perfect match... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marekv8 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Birthday lunch alone at the office. Nothing befits an old man like an old man's Scotch. Maybe I'll scooter over to the Lincoln dealership later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However— the Cutty Sark Tam O’Shanter 25yo is still my top pick age-stated blend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to be swayed by packaging but sometimes you just can't help it. It's a good looking bottle. Thankfully the stuff on the inside is good too!

ebo Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I don't want to clutter up the place with a new topic, so.................... Has anyone tried/tasted Abosolo Mexican Corn whisky? I'm intrigued, and I'd love to try it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
