Megawatt Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Tried some Glen Breton Rare Canadian single malt last night. Pretty nice stuff, though not worth the $90 they want for a bottle at the LCBO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe... I guess alll that talk of Glenora Distillery made you thirsty for it . I'm really curious now myself.... although not $90 curious. Tonight I'm enjoying a wee pour of The Balvenie 12 yr doublewood. It's such a fine pour and a bargain at $40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Moved on to some Highland Park 12 yr. Pretty darn good. Nice spicy kick in the finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtoys Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 My favorites these days are various single malts from Highland Park, Bowmore, Lagavulin, Talisker and Balvenie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Reached for top shelf tonight. Started with Highland Park 18 which was spectacular and then Talisker 18. Every time I return to these drams I am blown away. Tonight was no exception. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gov Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Glenfiddich 12 (new bottling). Big time fruit salad on the nose and palette. This is much better than I was expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVB Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I have to agree. From a review I did a few years ago: "This is a thinking man's scotch. There is so much going on that to pick out all the flavors and accents can take an hour for just a shot. On the other hand, the blenders art is so refined that if you don't care to think you still have a very smooth enjoyable drink that is noticeably better then almost any other blend."I know it's a blended but my Dentist invited me by for some JW Blue label tonight. 2 really nice pours and I really could not believe how strooth this bottle was.

JamesW Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 My favorites these days are various single malts from Highland Park, Bowmore, Lagavulin, Talisker and Balvenie.Although I haven't had any Bowmore, the HP 12 & 18, Lagavulin 16, Balvenie 12, 15, 21, and Talisker 10 and 18 all grace my bar and are truly spectacular. The only one you're missing of mine is the Aberlour A'Bunadh for that once-in-a-while sweet sherry treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heckuva lot cheaper, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVB Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Here is my review of that from 12/06. I prefer the Blue if given the choice but the Chivas is a fine dram too.

I am not a bourbon drinker yet but I have a 5-liter oak barrel with bourbon in it. Its been there for 1.5 months and perhaps after the diet I can start sampling it.

drrich1965 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Signatory 9yo Peaty Bunnahavain, from Binnys. An intense, buttery dram, with tons of peat and a good deal of character.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpact Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 BenRiach Origine Islay Malt 10 Years.It's peaty and briny, like an Islay malt should, but on the lighter side. I don't get smoke like in an Ardbeg or a Lagavulin. I think this would make a good introductory Islay whisky. The finish lingers surprisingly, considering that the flavor profile is light and straightforward. I think I got this a couple years back out of a close-out bin for under $20, so I can't complain. I don't think BenRiach is an Islay distillery, so to be honest I don't know if this is really an Islay, or merely in the style of Islay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
