Having a nice dram of Ardmore Traditional Cask. This is one of my favorite whiskies, and, IMO, one of the best values in single malt Scotch whisky. This whisky holds it's own with some of the more expensive whiskies out there.

Glenfiddich 12 yr. Not a real serious dram, not by malt maniac standards, but I'm enjoying it. Lots of pear on the nose and the palete...........

I get more apple than pear from that whisky. Also some pine notes and musty wood. Quite a bit going on.

Was over at a neighbors house last night hanging out. He broke out a bottle of Chivas Regal 12 and Glenfiddich 12. I enjoyed both. And... Whisky just seems to taste so much better when it is free. :cool:

Had a dalwhinnie 15 last night, still trying to find my legs with scotch as I wasn't too impressed again.

Come on... share. What's it taste like? The oldest Laphroaig I've tasted was 15 year old... and it was excellent. I would assume it has lost quite a bit of it's peat bite?

It's mellower than its younger siblings, but nicely balanced. It has been replaced by a 25 year old, which is also nice, but bolder.

I did a review of it 6 years ago here if you want to read it.

Tonight's dram is Campbeltowm Loch 30 and the previously released (and reviewed) 25. The 25 has a slight edge.

Eagle Rare 17. I actually had it in a reidel chardonnay stemless glass. I actually like the glass -- it didn't concentrate the nose too much. IMO snifters with bourbon can just bowl you over with the alcohol in the nose. You gotta let it breathe out a bit, but it should still taper inwards.

Anyway, I killed the bottle. Good thing I have an emergency backup.

Decided to skip the bourbon tonight and go with a Aberlour a'bunadh. I love the Sherry influence at cask strength. It's a chewy, terrific dram.

Love the a'bunadh. Have you tried the Macallan cask strength?

Fun to try as side by side.

Enjoying my first taste of Ardmore Traditional Cask (Quarter Cask). Spicy, bourbon-like and some very nice peat and smoke. While I prefer the Laphroaig Quarter Cask, this is really nice indeed.

Sounds lovely. I'm on the opposite end of the scale: 1997 Dalmore. A lot lighter than I expect. Subtle and buttery.

I've yet to try any from that distillery. I'm up in Canada and picked up the Peat Monster.... I really like this one.

Since it's Open Championship week, I decided to open the bottle of Laphroaig Cask Strength last night. It definitely lived up to my expectations.

Enjoyed an evening on the front porch with a nice dram of Paddy Irish.
