I could get to like this as a every day whiskey.
Tastes a wee bit like grapes and pear.

Finish's with a slight peppercorn taste.

Overall a nice sweet everyday single malt at 35 bucks here.

Cheers, Squid

The 10year 750lm single malt didn't make it to Fri...'twas piss cold last week and the muscles were sore.

Cheers, Squid

Talisker single malt 10 year old last night at burns. Wow that's a new taste for me

[9D280]

And in the meantime the Kilchoman "winter 2010"

Kind of like a "Laphroig mild" with proportionally less TCP & hints of Kylenesh (predictive errors expected, coz I want a real keyboard...). Which is in no way a criticism.

What's weird is the new raw spirit that was on sale a few years ago was a proper peat n yer hied Islay tonsilectomy. Hadn't expected such a mellowing.

Such is the fun of single malt...

That would be Clynelish fresh from the Clynemilton burn .. Brora ..piped to the distillery after being caught in a stone cistern

Give me a shout when you want it 'quality' checked .. I usually find a good couple of drams are neccessary to be sure

Hmm! Let me think about that for a couple of nano seconds....nope! I might have a dram or two of something else to warm the cockles though.

Kilchoman winter 2010.

Only complaint is nowhere to easily park a rib to get some more.


Current tipple thanks to the costcutter in Dyce.

Well fek me its been a while

Anyhoo .. dropped past the Baxters shop off the A9 after returning from the Doric land last weekend ... I'm now brushed up on the tongue

the've hev an affa fine selection divent ye ken ? .. but they know how to charge for them too

Including a bunch that are locked in 2 glass full height cases

Personally its not worth the stop ,, theres a few specialist shops such as the one in Inverarry thats worth the Journey because of what they have and what they know

Anyways I bought 2 an old fave Auchentoshan 3 wood and a Glenburgie 10

The tosh is good .. and for a hangover .. the Glenburgie is a classic but I wouldnt buy this Gbottle peeps .. it misses all the things I remember for this dram it tastes fine though.. but not worth specialist money these punters are looking for

Drink responsibly you nobburs good health

[willk]

Thanks for the advice - mind you, you clipped through the Glenburgie rightly, pish or no....

[A1an]

Cracked open my bottle of The Singleton the other day whilst out on the boat. VERY nice!

Aye .. its was a medicinal .... mid week ,, stress fighter .. if ye know what I mean

[Bigmuz7]

God that Auchentoshan is good I've finished it .. but my glass smells of old worldy stuff .. like leather and toffee ..liquorice .. what pleasure

[willk]

In the morning the sun is going to come up:

I, am going to be slipping my SIB into a stretch of calm glinty water nearby.

And you, are going to be sooooo sorry you necked the Auchan!

I've tested it, 4-5 (Irish) nips and you get a hied!
