smokinjoe Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I tell you if we could try before we buy in Georgia like that I'd be a much poorer man.I hear ya, Rich. I really need to nip this is the bud. That's all I need now, is to be chasing SM's. :crazy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRich Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I hear ya, Rich. I really need to nip this is the bud. That's all I need now, is to be chasing SM's. :crazy:We might need to work out a try-before-you-buy GBS offshoot where everyone picks a bottle from a list and then we get together for sampling. We kind of do that with bourbon at GBS meetings but hell, 50%-75% of that stuff you can't really get readily anyway. :grin: Just a thought.

clingman71 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Exactly. 57.7% of liquid beauty. I was a little upset with the Naperville Binnys. I only had the opportunity to visit that location. I was interested in the ETL and WSR Binnys's selections, but neither of those had any markings designating them as barrel selections. I inquired and no one had a definite answer either way. But, I turned around and saw the Redbreast cask strength and all was well. The only problem is that I only bought the one and by the time I headed home it was half gone.

CaptainQ Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I read Davin's review on Canadian Whisky and decided to pick up a couple bottles of Pendleton 1910 12 y/o rye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesW Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Replenished my Te Bheag and Aberlour 10. The Aberlour is becoming a regular these days. It has nice bourbon and sherry notes and a little spice on the finish. Very pleasant these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megawatt Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Let us know how you like it. It is a good whisky; reminds me of warm buttered pancakes with syrup. I think I prefer Wiser's Legacy, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ejmharris Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Glenrothes special reserve. Not a fan the dark side juice in general but someone recommended this one for for those that are not huge Scotch fans.

Last time I had Glenrothes it was great but it might have been one of the vintage bottlings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clavius Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I was tempted to buy a bottle of Ardbeg Uigeadail yesterday. But at well over $80 I just couldn't bring myself to do it. The store I went to also had the Corryvrecken at a little over $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clavius Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Well I did it and bought the Uigeadail. Stuff smells amazing. I'll let you guys know what I think about it after I taste it later tonight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
