Kepler Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 My first 'heavily peated' empty. This was as good as advertised. And I have to admit that I was surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did. This bottle was responsible for me not being afraid to purchase additional heavily peated expressions. Great bottle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvd99 Posted Tuesday at 04:07 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 04:07 PM Cracked the Oban 15 CS, it's kinda disappointing. I had higher hopes on this one. Maybe it'll get better after opening, hoping so at least I like the regular Oban 14 better for half the price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a video review of that one that gave it a lukewarm review so I have steered clear of it. Your feedback seems to reinforce that. Hopefully some air time will improve it for you.

Different finish or supposedly the same Oban but CS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rzelinka Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago This past week, I have tried more than a few scotches. I have concluded my palette just isn’t ready for them. Or maybe it is just that I am used to bourbon and American whiskey. Today I will be on a Canadian whiskey tasting tour. It will be interesting to see how I feel about Canadian which I have not sampled in decades now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Orloso and something else cask finished. I usually dont trust cask finishing, because (and maybe I'm paranoid) it can be a red flag the underlying distillate wasn't that good and the cask finish is an attempt to mask or change a dissapointing original outcome. Should've stuck with my gut of avoiding these types of offerings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rzelinka Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago On my final day in the Pacific Northwest I stopped at Twa Dogs distillery. If you’re a fan of Irish whisky or scotch whisky, you are likely to enjoy this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
