Any One for a Scotch?

[gnatty8]

I agree it’s good, at least from my experience. I still have the original that was released in 2007. Haven’t tried them since they’ve been numbered, but I hear good things about it.

I first tried it on a whim a few months back and was really impressed with it for what I paid. Probably got me more interested in Glenmorangie enough to try more of their releases and I’ve been pretty pleased with them.

Old standby tonight.

The Macallen 12

Because of my current obsession with port casks, I tried the Glenmorangie port and it was pretty good. But yes, I’m rather meh about the rest of their lineup.

Has anyone tried Tamdhu? Have heard good things

I tried a bottle (if I'm not mistaken it was a 12 yo) a few years back. I don't recall being blown away by it, and given I usually restock bottles I loved to have them on hand, the fact that I don't have a bottle right now tells me it didn't appeal to me for one reason or another.

I picked up the sauternes cask (Nectar D'or) in the new packaging. Either the quality has changed or my tastes have but I used to find it a better dram. It's not bad, it just isn't particularly notable.

If you like port and peat together there are some Benriach peated port casks that are superb. That said, I only go for peat sometimes and when I do, I don't go for the sledge hammer heavy stuff.

They recently (year or two ago) introduced a cask strength. Was going to be my consolation for missing on the Glendronach cask strength

Going to try this for dessert, as it were.

That might be interesting to me. I have 2 bottles of the 15 year old (Revival) Gleondronach, since I hadn't seen it on the shelves for a couple of years only to stumble across 2 at my local Total Wine. Haven't seen the cask strength though, but I'd love to try it.

I'm once again going with the Glenfiddich, super secret, super sexual, Project XX...

Follow up to this. I decided to give the 12 another shot and picked up a bottle Saturday night. I was wrong about the above. It is a great whiskey for the price (think I paid $65) and now I have no clue why I didn't restock it, maybe it disappeared from the shelves for a while? I did most of my shopping at the PA Fine Wines and Spirits on Market Street in Philly which despite having a very large wine selection, had a surprisingly limited selection of single malts. In any case, I really enjoyed it, and would highly recommend.

Interesting, maybe batch variation

Found this at a local shop in Knoxville, TN. Planning on trying it tomorrow afternoon with a cigar and really looking forward to it.
