edo Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Caol Ila cask strength. This one was 59.2% and it was just sooooo fine. I so hate to see it go. I have some more in the bunker, but they're marked 59.3% ... so from a different run. But it doesn't matter. I've never had a Caol Ila I didn't think was great. I love all Islays, (... uhm...but maybe not Bowmore so much) but I enjoyed this bottle even more than other excellent Islays I've had, like Laphroaig cask strength or Quarter Cask, or Ardbeg 10 or Lagavulin 12, ... or 16 ... okay... as much as I like Lagavulin 16 (at least as I remember) ... and Ardbeg Uidiagail (or whatever spelling).It was cool, damp and rainy today. Maybe that's why that peat smoke hit the spot. ...something ...I want to build a camp fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigarnv Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Last night was a bottle of Paddy's Irish whisky consumed by a few friends.... not a bad little pour for the $$. Easy to enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megawatt Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Killed my Wiser's Legacy last night. And just as I was really starting to enjoy it. I hate when it takes half a bottle to figure a whisky out. For those interested in trying Legacy, I recommend letting it sit in the glass for at least five minutes before trying to assess it. Also, a splash of water/single ice cube won't hurt.

Caol Ila doesn't seem to get the attention it deserves and has climbed very near the top of my list of classic single malts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edo Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I'll have to try the CI Cask Strength, as I really love the standard 12 year old version. Caol Ila doesn't seem to get the attention it deserves and has climbed very near the top of my list of classic single malts.Caol Ila 12 y.o. is still on my yet to try list. I've almost bought it a couple times, but always walked away with another expression for one reason or another. The last time was because the Cask Strength boxes were water damaged or something and it was selling at a 40% discount :cool:, (I'm not a box collector, anyway.) ... as I type, tho', we're having a pour of Caol Ila 8 y.o. "unpeated style"... better continue in the proper thread ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanSheen Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I had to escort a 1.75 of Weller Sr. from Everetts down to the basement for storage. Next stop, Dads raspberry wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megawatt Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Finishing off Forty Creek Confederation Oak Reserve. I declare this the best Canadian whisky I've had. Superb depth and balance, and a bittersweet flavour with clean wood notes that I haven't found elsewhere. Very, very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bourbon Boiler Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Killed a 4R yellow this week. Not bad at all, but probably won't be replaced anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roostercogburn Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Finally finished a bottle of Macallan 10 Fine Oak. Glad to see this one go. So sweet it makes the Glenlivet French Oak seem like Laphroaig by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virus_Of_Life Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 For the first in a very long time I finished off a bottle of Scotch last night, Laphroaig 18 year old. Glad I bought a couple cases of this when it was on sale for under $50 in Minnesota!It is very good stuff, I do think I like the Cairdeas better but I haven't gotten around to researching what makes it different.

Tennessee Dave Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Last dram of Macallan 18 last night. I am not sure that I am going to replace this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggJ Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Polished of a bottle of Laprhoaig CS batch #02. This is probably my favorite whiskey under $65. Still think the original CS before the batch #s was slightly better but, time will tell. It looks like batch 03 was bottled starting in January 11 and should be at US shelves shortly. Definitely will be replacing this, probably before the 03's are around. Great Islay for those on the fence I would definitely recommend grabbing a bottle.

Clavius Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Killed my Laphroaig 10yr the other day. I will fondly remember that bottle as the one that started it all with my newfound Islay single malt obsession. Looking forward to getting another bottle. Just having trouble finding it.

mosugoji64 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 HH BIB gold label. As my intro to the wonderful world of HH BIBs, it will always hold a special place in my heart. But for now, it occupies a special place in the recycle bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brritscold Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Finished a Balvenie 12 doublewood. Delicious! Especially great to give to friends who are new to whisky, since it's pretty sweet, with the intense honey flavors, and I've personally seen several friends who tried it and became Scotch converts.

pfiest Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I just finished off a bottle of Glenmorangie 10 that I've had around for quite some time. It's still a mighty fine dram at an excellent price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
