Whisk(e)y Lovers thread(II)

Looks a fraction bit better here, but still a slap in the face when compared to the old labels which had some history to them.

Sorry guys, while I do enjoy whisky (and am trying to improve my tasting) - nothing beats a good ol' brandy for me.

The reason I like scotch in particular is there's a much wider flavour profile especially considering cask finishes. It also has higher abv which makes those flavours pop more generally.

The FWM did a brandy tasting last year. There is quite a wide flavour profile. we had some interesting cask finishes etc. not entirely to my taste, the Boplaas 17 is quite good.

What has happened to the price of Redbreast 12? Gone up like R500+ since last year when I checked. Came across it while scrolling on 1 site and thought they must have made a mistake haha

Delicious...cherries and citrus. With leather and wood on the long finish.

I've always wanted to try the Rumble and then was lucky enough to land the Cask Reserve.

Sweet and smoky honey drizzled over ripe figs. Strong Rum flavors and that ABV takes no prisoners.

SO worth it to add this to my Balcones collection...

Quality before quantity....

But sometimes you can have both....quality AND quantity.

This is most excellent

Brêkgat,

 

[TheMightyQuin]

Always good!!



Giving this 15yo another try as initially it did not blow my skirt up. Now after quite a few months of being open, it is starting to take shape.



Now this is much better...also better than the 21yo for me...
