I was at three different Liquor shop stores and they didn't have the Loch Lomond Single malt. I'll keep u updated on the Glen Scotia, did u open your double cask?

The whisky that made compass box (in)famous. First time trying it. Very mellow and enjoyable.

Not yet. Too many other things to drink

John Glaser does like to court controversy. Did u hear about about their 'this is not a luxury Whisky' issue where they stated the recipe for the blend?

I did read up on that. I think he has a valid point. Considering what we're expected to pay for whisky.

I agree especially considering the amount NAS bottlings hitting the market right now. I put my name down on their transparency campaign.

I tried a Danish one once. It was nearly black in colour, absolutely terrible.

The Swedes make a really nice peat whisky, a friend's contribution to a whisky tasting at home.

Lovely Peaty smell but very light peat on the finish. Very nice.

Hey, I got a bottle of that today as well, my second. Gotta agree with u there.

Opened this now. Still deciding on it, not easy drinking but a nice winter whisky that warms u up, must be the PX sherry. Reminds me of the Three Skip PX Cask.

Bought one as well yesterday. Alot sweeter than I expected, but still enjoyed it.
Also bought some Ballentines and Loch Lomond Reserve.

I did try it at the whisky live last year, was not particularly impressed but then I can't trust my judgement at these events. I tried the no.39 when it was available, that was really good but I couldn't get another bottle so I bought 2 just in case. If I still don't like it then I've got a present for someone and an open bottle to offer up at a home tasting.
 
Anyone got any input on the J&B Jet 12 year old, got a bottle of that yesterday as well.

Personally I will have a tot with a meal. It is just too sweet for me to have more.

I'm considering going on Saturday the 4th. I've been to the jhb one and I'll usually hang out at the stand where u find all the independent bottlings.
 
I will be attending the Pretoria event.
