Whisk(e)y Lovers thread(II)

And talking about travel exclusives, my son brought home a bottle of Talisker Surge which will also get opened over the weekend.

Expensive for a NAS whisky, but reviews seem to be favourable.

Also looked at that Talisker but gave it a pass as is a bit of the pricey side. Interested to know how it is

I think I need to get one of these

It has arrived, very keen to try this

Well done! Stock is obviosuly not an issue. It did take forever to arrive in SA...that I know. I'm 99% sure that you will LOVE it.

It is apparently moving quite fast but suppose there was a decent amount.

Haven't tried a Glen Scotia yet that I havent enjoyed

I still need to try this since it was voted Whisky of the Year.

Did the taster have any experience?

Did the taster have any experience?

Was actually selected by the community following Ralfy and Roy's OSWAs. Plenty were surprised . Still it's probably due to Campbeltown hype. I think deanston 18 is a better buy.

I really enjoyed this one!

Found these in a kist that belonged to my mother. I reckon they're about 40 years old. Should I go ahead and try them? Otherwise, just keep for sentimental value, or as paint stripper when doing some diy

Whisk(e)y doesn’t age anymore once bottled, so might as well give it a whirl

That White Horse is most probably Lagavulin. It should be excellent tbh.

Wait, what?!

 

[axsis]

Wait, what?!

White horse was a blend mostly made up of Lagavulin and Glen Elgin I believe. 2 of my favourite distilleries funnily.

 

[ands45]

It's finally arrived lucky to have a family member bring one back for me.

And a Happy New Year to everyone. May the year ahead be filled with good whisky
