Seattle LawDawg Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Lagavulin 16 Thats my go-to, but if it was more accessible, I'd drink more Mortlach. Caol Ila, 3 Ardbegs, a Highland Park, and a bottle of Lagavulin Distiller's Ed. also sit in my bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VA gets almost $90 a bottle while it is considerably less in other states. Fraking state run liquor store is a rip off.

Cunning Linguist Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 wife brought home a bottle of Bowmore Darkest... also of Islay -- very yummy! Bowmore Darkest is my new fav I found it earlier this year and have stocked the house with it. A couple other can't miss singles: Highland: Dalwhinnie 15 or Oban 14 (awsome) Islay: Lagavulin 16 yr Speyside: Balvenie 12 yr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknrobn26 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I read an article years ago about Japanese single malt whiskeys. i must have mentioned it a few times around rr juniorette because she bought me 12 year old Yamazaki.... one of the original whiskey distilleries in Japan. It IS Scotch, but I think there is some International Trademark agreement that only Single Malt Whiskey made in Scotland can be called Scotch. It is very good. Rather light, a little smoky, but not over bearing. If you get a chance try it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunning Linguist Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) So I've had several drinks of the Bowmore Darkest, I don't mean to be difficult or whatever, but the initial charm has worn off and it's now starting to taste like it's artificially flavored. Maybe my taste buds are too inexperienced to appreciate it or maybe I'm not a fan of Sherry casks (this is the first time I've had something that's been aged* in sherry casks). * also, how old is it? Bottle doesn't say. Maybe I should let it sit for a few years? I don't mean to be a downer or discourage anyone, but the flavor confuses me -- it's probably me I was curious about the age when i first tried it and found from the web its a 15 yr (in 2007). The Sherry cask is what makes this so unique IMO. For me, the smokey overtones and the complex fruity finish set this Malt apart from others in it's price range (about $45). To the nose, it has a touch of Peat but not overwhelming. I think the reason i like it so much is the complexity. Just curious, how everyone else tastes and drinks theirs? for me: taste: 70/30 scotch/water - no ice drink: 80/20 scotch/water - two regular (square) cubes, or 3 crescents. Usually I'll pour a dram neat just to smell it first, but always cut it with at least 30% H2O. It brings out the flavors as intended by the distillers.

Two ice chunks, enough scotch to cover the ice. Swirl to get enough water to open it up. Drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that i think about it, i prolly don't hit 70/30, it's more like 80/20ish. For a younger scotch ill hit it with the ice/swirl no water once in a while too. It's all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
