Any One for a Scotch?

[KarlHungus]

So I couldn’t find any 18 Glendronach but did find a 12. Unfortunately, bottled after 2013.

It's a great everyday sipper. Enjoy

I‘m in a group that gets other once month to sample whiskey. This year I am participating in their advent calendar. 25 people donate a bottle, that’s your entrance fee, each bottle is divided into 25 one ounce samples….. then you get a box with 25 different drams.
Here’s a sampling of the first couple nights, pretty amazing so far
The Macallan Number Five
Glenlevit Gran Reserva ‘21 ?
Highland Park ‘20

Anyone tried the Highland Park Cask Strengths yet?

Nope, but I did order some regular 18 for festive drams.

Nice! I heard the new cask strength was ~13 years and used like 80% first/second fill sherry, so was super interested. Seems solid for ~$90 (compared to something like Springbank 12 which is like $120 now)

Think I had some of that HP a couple weeks ago out of my inheritance.

Hey, good looking out on passing that info along about the 18 & 21. I went on my Scotch odyssey today and found one bottled in 2019 ??

I've strayed away from HP mostly because of their NAS and prices. At least they started to go away from all the ridiculous NAS and back to more core things. I'll have to try the cask strengths.

Sweet Jesus look at the prices on the 18 now. I think I have a bottle of the 25 kicking around from about 10 years ago.

Caol Ila 10 (Sovereign IB - Sherry cask)
Glengoyne 10 (Old Particular IB - PX finished)

Really enjoying the Glengoyne, not sure if it's the px or the distillate (my first Glengoyne), but really solid.

I got married on Saturday and my wife’s son and son-in-law stood with me. I got each of them a bottle of 25-years old Glenfarclas.

 

[jcman311]

Went and found this today. Unfortunately bottled in 2020 so not old ?. But they did have a few 2019 bottles of HP 18 for like $130. I’ll probably go back and snag a few of those.

I was not impressed. Maybe the 21 just gets that extra oomph from the PX but the 18 seemed a little weak. Will try again tonight FIRST as to not dull the taste buds.

I know it's good, but is it ~3x better than the 15?
