SDpappy Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Drank a Red Breast 15 today but I don't think it's much better than the 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clavius Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Laphroaig Quarter Cask. Not quite as good as standard Laphroaig 10-year, in my opinion. But still good. If only I could find some more Laphroaig 10-year in my area... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRich Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Last night was a few too many Springbank 10/100s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only I could find some more Laphroaig 10-year in my area...Laphroaig...first time I had it was in a mixed drink that a local bar made. I almost asked the bartender if there was something wrong with the drink haha. Now I actually enjoy Islay but only when I am prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebo Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I just cracked open my last bottle of Talisker 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 This week I was wowed by a Springbank 12 CS. Unfortunately, my euphoria was quickly dampened by a ZZZZZ-inducing pour of Compass Box Oak Cross. Not much there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkEdwards Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Had a pour of my favorite 30yo 1975 Glenrothes.I was enjoying the nose so much, my wife asked if I was trying to drink it with my nose. I eventually did give in and start sipping on it, but the nose is simply spectacular as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Pollito Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Just got a nice pour of Glengoyne from a friend. 1987, aged 24 years at 54.8% abv. Really nice sherry and dark chocolate nose. Loads of anise on the pallate. Realy interesting dram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Boozer Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Finishing up some Talisker 18 year. Sweeter and softer than the 10 year but truly an outstanding single malt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQ Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Went to a dinner party the other night and decided to skip the bourbons and went with some darkside bottles. Started off with a Redbreast 12, three pours and that was all she wrote for that bottle. :cry: Next was the Redbreast 15. :yum: Last pours of the night came from a bottle of Aberlour A'Bundah batch no. 29. Haven't had any Scotch for a while and this one hit the spot.I don't have a replacement for the Redbreast 12. I think I'll hold out for a bottle of the new cask strength.

brritscold Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I just got a bottle of the Redbreast 12, which was good, if a little light-bodied for my tastes (though I can see how that could be desired in certain situations). Also, an older Springbank 10/100 proof (at least, older, different label from the current one), which was savory on the nose/initial palate with a rounded sweetness balancing it out. And enjoying a Macallan 12 right now... it's a standard, sure, and perhaps over-priced, but the sherry bomb is exactly what I want now -- that layered sweetness with strong overtones of raisins and dark chocolate.

Clavius Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Started out with some Laphroaig Quarter Cask. Then onto some regular Laphroaig 10yr. Not sure what will be next, if anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebo Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Started with Laphroaig 10 and moved on to Ardbeg 10. Probably finish with a little Talisker 10. It's a smokey kind of evening. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRich Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 The last few days I've been hitting the Famous Grouse 12. I'm really not liking this one and I've known that for a while but I trying to make room on the shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really not liking this one and I've known that for a while but I trying to make room on the shelf.I just happened to reach for the Famous Grouse while watching my alma mater play basketball...funny to see your post above! I find it sweetish, a little bit of peat, fairly one dimensional, not bad for a blend. The nose shows the grain alcohol, it has a very short finish. I don't find it "bad" just simple.http://www.whisky-pages.com/notes/distillery.php?id=grouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
