Which Bottle Have You Laid To Rest?

[TomH]

The Smokey Peaty One is a vatted malt (or as the SWA is trying to create a new name - a blended malt) made from Caol Ila, Laphroaig, Bunnahabhain, Highland Park, Ledaig and Bowmore.

Robbo is David Robertson from Macallan.

Stu I agree with you that at over $50 this is an easy pass, but at $30 I find their 3 offerings reasonalbly priced drinking whisk(e)y (can't call them all scotches since the Smooth Sweeter One blends Irish and Scotch.

Last night I buried a JW Gold. To be honest, I really don't know why I love this bottling so much. It is super light and simple, but for some reason I really enjoy it. Thought I would pick up a replacement, but it was $99. I guess the bottle I have in my bunker will be my last unless I find a decent sale (somewhere around $60 which is what I paid for the last 2 bottles).

How was it? That's a bottle that tempts me every time I'm in the liquor store. I'm a huge fan of the big-time peaty island whiskys, and I'm afraid that this will be a milder, less-satisfying version.

Believe it or not it reminds me of Highland Park 12 with a good amount of peat! It is not overly complex, but for the money, I like it very much

Johnnie Walker Gold is simple? I've never tried it, but the brand isn't exactly known for simplicity. People knock JW because they're a popular mass-market brand, but the Black Label is easily one of the best blends I've tried. I'd love to try the Gold. Too bad it went up in price.

Last night I said goodbye to the Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban. Typically, I found the last glass the most enjoyable. Why couldn't I have enjoyed the rest of them that much?

i plan to grab the last of these (and of course, a different barrel if possible).

Aberlour A'Bunadh batch #21, but I have another in reserve :cool:

Last night I killed off an Ardberg 10. 1 in reserve.

Tonight I laid to rest a Talisker 10. Fantastic pour. This has jumped in price here recently. I'll get more but unfortunately its 18 yr old brother is now out of reach for me.

James,

Talisker is an awesome Single Malt.

What prices are the 10yr and 18yr in your area?

James,

The 10 yr is up to $55 and the 18 is at $75 now. I haven't bought an 18 yr in almost 6 months . Maybe when I start making better money ....

What are the prices like for you?

[JamesW]

Polished off my Black Bottle last night. Great value that one. I have one bunkered.

[JamesW]

Killed off a Laphroaig QC last night as well. 1 bunkered.

Dave,

North of Los Angeles/Central Coast I see the Talisker 10 for $55 and up, and the 18 -- when it can be found -- for $80 and up. No doubt they are a little cheaper in LA, and hopefully, in your area, too.

Last night I put down a Caol Ila 12. A very nice middle-of-the-road Islay that makes for a nice starter pour any given night.

[JamesW]

Last night I finished off a Talisker 10yr. One of my favorite pours and rarely disappoints. I used to love the 18 yr but have found it lacking recently.

Me too. Talisker 10 is an essential part of my life but I do hear Lagavulin 16 calling out to me...:grin:

Killed off an HP12. I'm thinning the herd in anticipation of my upcoming move. I won't be opening any new bottles until I get to Canada.

[JamesW]

My recycling bin is getting full. Just finishing off a Bunnahabain 12 tonight. Great whisky. Sweet finish with a bit of smoke and burn.

[ebo]

I just had the last pour of Caol Ila 12. I love the Islay whiskies.

Tonight, Old Pulteney is going down for the count. And Clynelish 14 had better wipe that smirk off her face because she's next!

I just killed that one myself not long ago...

Tonight I dropped my Bowmore 17 with a double pour. I'm leaving a lot of bodies in my wake this past week. Drinking all my top shelf bottles so as not to have to leave them to friends when I move. I'll leave them my Ballantyne's but not my Uigedail. That looks like the next one to go down. Drinking a nice pour of it at the moment.

[JamesW]

Laphroaig QC hit the recycle bin last night.

[ggilbertva]

This one took a while to kill off.....Clynelish 14 year. Good stuff.

[ebo]

I had the last pour of Oban 14 earlier this evening.
