Fellow Scotch heads! I have Ardbeg's Wee Beastie and it straight up tastes like smoked meat and tar lol
I haven't tried Ardbeg 10, but I've had two bottles of Ardbeg Uigeadail. Great, great stuff. And, obviously, Lagavulin 16 is a no brainer if you like the peat. It tastes like the holidays.
Went into the store to grab some Four Roses Single Barrel and came out with the new Makers “The Keepers” release. “The Heart” was my favorite pour of last year, so I am very excited to try it. Didn’t even know it was out. Maker’s Mark Wood Finishing Series ‘The Keepers Release’
On the recent subject of Lagavulin 16, given that here in the UK the price has increased by around 100% to around £80 when it could be bought for nearer £40/50 around 7 years ago means I'm unlikely to buy it again any time soon. I have a 10YO from travel retail on the go however and it does the job. And the 8YO is £55 online so I'd go got that over the 16.
Brother-in-law got me a bottle of Aberlour A'bunadh for celebrating my having published a book. I used to have a bottle but that was a few years ago. Still the finest Scotch I've ever had
I celebrated a professional qualification with the same bottle. It's literally double the price these days as when I bought it 7 years ago. £40 was so good for a cask strength but £80 in the UK too steep for me these days
Picked up a bottle of Bruichladdich Port Charlotte 10 today. I’ve been wanting one for a while and it’s been chilly the past few weeks so I caved today. One of my favorites.
With cold weather on the way, I need to pick up a new bourbon to sip on. Anything y’all are drinking on that you’d recommend?
they had old granddad bib 7 year at the store so ive been sipping on that a little through the weekend. its good but i like the 114 better
