What Wee Dram are you enjoying now?

If you buy the McClelland's Highland you are really getting 5 yo Glen Garioch.

Started with Glendower, Bowmore 12, and now some Woodford Reserve.

I got to try Talisker Limited Edition cask strength yesterday. It was fantastic. Silky-smooth and fairly subtle by Talisker standards but still with nice smoke and creamy vanilla-toffee.

Where did you try that? Not an LCBO tasting table? I'd travel a bit for that.

Tonight I'm starting with some HP12. A classic.

No, it is only available at the distillery. A friend brought it back from Scotland.

For a change of pace tonight I was in the mood for something heavily sherried and sweet, so I decided to have a pour of Macallan 12, a consistent dessert whiskey for me.

[AVB]

Some Glen Elgin 12 fit the bill tonight, a great speysider in the Balvenie vein.

Kilchoman, summer 2010 release. This is intense stuff. Smoky and medicinal to the max, but with a tingling sweetness like strong black licorice. I found it overbearing at first but it has grown on me.

Can't find it here at the LCBO, I've looked. Also seems that the Glendower is no longer sold. :-(

Seems like the good deals don't last long. Kilchoman sold out in what must have been record time. I heard of individuals buying up all the stock in their region.

Yesterday over at Tony's AKA ACDetroit, he brought out the Springbank and several Laphroaig's.

All were stellar.

James, I still see Glendower on the listing.

Went with the blends last night: White Horse, Teacher's Highland Cream and Black Grouse. All were excellent and thoroughly enjoyable.

I haven't tried White Horse but I know the other two are on the peatier side of blended Scotch. How did you feel the Black Grouse compared to the other two?

[Megawatt]

The more I drink it, the more it seems that the Singleton of Glendullan is one of the best Scotches I've tried. It is just so damned nice from start to finish.

I've been eyeing that one at the LCBO... is it really that good?

It is exactly what it claims to be; "rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced." Connoiseurs seem to find it too simple or unchallenging. I find it creamy, chocolatey, gently spiced. I will probably buy it again.

Laphroaig Quarter Cask and it's the bottom of the bottle.

Went to the Highland Park 12 yr. several times over the Thanksgiving Holiday. It continues to be impressive.

[unclebunk]

Thanksgiving Day we broke out two new whiskys--Arran Single Malt and Isle of Jura Single Malt. Both were pleasant but fairly nondescript, with most folks leaning towards the Jura due to somewhat fuller flavor.

Jura over Arran? Hmm. Which bottles were they?

Jura over Arran? Hmm. Which bottles were they?

The Arran was the 10 year old unchillfiltered and the other was the Isle of Jura 10 year old. No serious tasting going on, just lots of food, beer and a bit of single malt to top things off. The Jura was knocked off completely while a third of the Arran remained, which my cousin was kind enough to send home with me. I visited their distillery many years ago, so was pleased to get reacquainted with their whisky.

Black Bottle, Laphroaig QC, and now Lagavulin 16, The Laga is heavenly.

[JamesW]

Just added a Laga 12 CS to the line-up. Man I love this distillery!
