WHISKY THREAD

WHISKY THREAD

i started getting into the good stuff last year...currently I have

Laphroaig 10yr old
Glenmorangie 10yr old
Macallan Fine Oak 12yr old
Highland Park 12yr old
Ardbeg 10yr old
Coal Ila 12yr old
Balvenie Founders Reserve
Macallan Elegancia 12yr old
Aberlour 10yr old
Woodford Reserve Distiller's Select
Bruichladdich Triple Peat
Highland Park 1993 Cask Strength
Strathisla 12yr old
Bowmore Surf


i think my favs are the Highland Parks and the Laphroaig, although each have their merits

anyone else like the odd dram??

If you can get it in NZ grab yourself a bottle or two of Oban Whisky. Nice to see you've sampled Aberlour too. Another fine drop is Any Glenfiddich older than 12 years!

yeah i've tasted an Oban once, it had too much water in it. Still good though

you wait til my dad gets on this thread!

send them over, send them over

Laphroig  - of course

Talisker's pretty epic too, i find it almost peppery

peppery

Ashamed to say it, lads. I hate the stuff 

that's a Partickularly unexpected response

I'm partial to a drop of Glenfiddich 'Liquer' Whiskey.

Oh no, that's a shocker       

agreed Jag, it lacks a bit of finesse, but after my Pedro effort flashed past the wrong side of the post  i thought I'd settle for a simple tap-in

i'd love to try Lagavulin.
Tigers, that was an air shot

What an interesting subject That's a fair old collection you have Cosimo,football' mum's sister has just droped in from th UK and presented me with a bot. of Glenmorangie 12yr. One of my favourites is Scapa 14yr.  from the Orkn. I have bot. of Aberlour's " a'bunadh ' also a very nice drop, translation " the original"  Another one to watch out for is Glenfiddich "Havana Reserve" 21yr. discription : Bold caramel nose offering  notions of a seductively sunny afternoon in its aftertaste. Here's tae us wha's like us damn few an there aw deid 

It's the tap ins that win Matches! GET T' THE PUN THREAD!

Just got a Laphroig Quarter Cask aged, very nice

Good call, I have a bottle at home and in fact had a wee tipple last night.

Also have a bottle of Dalwhinnie.

yeah the normal Glenfiddich is a bit plain, but i'd love to try the older ones...also to the Glenmorangie port/madeira casks

has anyone tried any Japanese scotch? there are some really nice ones, like Nikka Yoichi 15 yr old

For reading material on this subject i recommend, Whisky The definitive world guide. By Michael Jackson. 

I hate the stuff!


But I always know what to buy my dad when I come through duty free

That guy died recently. He kinda got me into whisky one of his books.

Glenfarclas Tasting session at RWS next Tuesday anyone?

The Great Glenfarclas
Wednesday 19 or Tuesday 25 March, 6.00 pm start, Cost $55.00 pp, Limit 27 places
As one of the great and classic Speyside whiskies, Glenfarclas commands respect. Glenfarclas is one of the richest styles, big and complex, with pronounced sherry character from the maturation mostly in first fill and refill sherry casks. It is a fabulous after-dinner malt, a famous tasting note describes it �as going down singing hymns�! Still in private ownership, six generations of Grant family have run the Glenfarclas distillery since 1865. Like the whisky, the six stills are amongst the largest in Speyside, and they are unusually fired by an external gas flame. The term grandiose comes to mind with Glenfarclas! We are extremely fortunate that the Glenfarclas portfolio has a very wide range of bottling ages. Our malt maestro Daniel Bruce McLaren-Moon will takes us through the following expressions: �105� Cask Strength 60.0%, 12 y.o., 15 y.o., 17 y.o., 21 y.o., 25 y.o. and 30 y.o. You will be able to make a detailed review of the effects of barrel maturation for different lengths of time. We expect this tasting to be popular and urge you make your bookings as early as possible.

Why not have a Claytons? The drink you have when not having a drink??

  Oh! come on Cosimo there's no need for that, okay they can make cars but when it comes to usquabach  NO.

On my 21st I got a bottle of Glenfidddich and I have a local barman who keeps trying to insist on selling it by the bottle...by I manage to get it shot by shot so far...
