Wryguy Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Grabbed my first Nikka whisky today, a Yoichi 15. I had the Taketsuru 12 in my hands and as I started talking to the owner about my excitement that he had gotten a Nikka in, he smiled and said, "That's not the only one."Needless to say, I changed my mind. Can't wait to try this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Comp Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 The Laddie Ten - have heard good things about this one.. but an unpeated Islay? Should at least be interesting.Had a nice pour of the Laddie 22 the other day and posted my thoughts in the wee dram section. Everything great about it but the price.

MyOldKyDram Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Not purchased, but deciding if I should...ran across some Ardbeg Airigh Aam Beist today. Never seen it myself as I was paying none attention to scotch when this was last released. Reading mostly good to great things about it. On sale here for around $80. Wondering what personal opinions any of you SBers may have about this release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering what personal opinions any of you SBers may have about this release.I have always been an Ardbeg fan and this is a great whisky IMO,the price point is great it would be no brainer for me.I haven't seen one of these on a shelf in quite sometime and when they were they were always over $100 sometimes as high as $120.I know you have only recently partaken in the Islay field of whisky,if you enjoy smoke,fire and brimstone buy away as "The Beist" will not disappoint on any level.

ChainWhip Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 If it were me, it'd be in my hand and out to the checkout in no-time-flat. The Beist is a good find in the wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squire Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I went by the local to get some Rum and found McIvor scotch on sale. I'm only vaguely familiar with this brand having read about it on the scotch boards. Well, the price was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFS Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Picked up a bottle of Glenmorangie Ealanta todayI tasted this about a week before it was officially released. I thought it was fantastic. Very well balanced, front to back, with orange on the finish. Have you opened it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Comp Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 A 13 year Aberfeldy, distilled in 1994 and bottled in 2007. A Binny's cask pick through the Signatory Vintage Un-Chillfiltered Collection at a sale price of $39.99. A delightful lemon bomb with a transition from sweet to dry and fading into black pepper, sour orange and light smoke. 46% abv and natural color...a bourbon lovers single malt.

Glenn__B Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Caol Ila 12 is a favorite of mine. I'm going to have to crack open my bottle now. :cool:Opened mine as well. First bottle of Caol Ila for me. Really liked the way the flavor developed with a lot coming toward the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunk Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I stopped by Binny's to get some wine for the wife and a hygrometer for my new toy, and I told myself I wasn't going to buy any bourbon. I tried walking past the aisle without stopping, but I saw a bunch of sale tags on the Scotch side, so I couldn't resist. Grabbed the 12/17 Old Pulteney set, even though my flirtation with Scotch was waning. Popped both years open that night and fell in love with both. I'm so easy.

jtexaslonestar Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I picked up a Laphroaig 10yr CS bottled 2012 at 58.6% abv. I loved my Ardbeg 10yr and Lag16, but they are both gone and I needed something to replace them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggilbertva Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 While bourbon is my go to whiskey, I've been getting more and more into foreign offerings. This week I picked up a Canadian Club Classic 12 year and a Balvenie Doublewood 17 year. I've had a spot of both but need to spend some quality time with each.
