Spain Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Dalmore 18yo is a cracking whisky. Better than the next one up, the King IMO. The King has too many flavours going on at once, whereas the 18yo is a little more subtle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a whisky expert by any stretch but I found that the 18yo had a real hint of chocolate orange about it, which made a real change to most the other types of whisky I've tried. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladimir Lennon Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Does anyone frequent Cadenheads in the Canongate? Keep meaning to go in and try one of the barrel whiskies, but never quite manage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tout P'ti FC Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Treated myself to a bottle of Glenlivet Nadurra whilst kettled at Stansted by Easy Jet tonight. Bloody flight delays always cost me in whisky. It has a wee burst of peat to it, very drinkable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wee Edradour Sauterne awaits me this weekend. Love a bit of Edradour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love a bit of Edradour. The older batched, 16y.o is a fine dram, but there was a significant reduction in quality when they started the non age indicated version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killienick Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) The older batched, 16y.o is a fine dram, but there was a significant reduction in quality when they started the non age indicated version. Spot on. The older batched stuff is a bit pricey now though. ETA: Think my Sauterne was £55ish for a 10 year old cask strength whisky.

cyderspaceman Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) Don't put E's in your whisky. Recently discovered Old Perth blended malt. Yes, I know, not for the purist but I like it. Edited June 15, 2016 by cyderspaceman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Poured some Fettercairn 6 y.o. Bottled from a cask that one of those whisky shops in the centre has. Just poured a glass. Can't say I'm that keen, but wondering if that's because it's so young compared to malts I'm used to drinking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Never tried anything that young. I imagine they taste pretty raw do they? Tastes very alcoholy, really harsh tasting. Added a fair bit of water and its become a lot more drinkeable. I could imagine a 12 year old being quite nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I'm that keen, but wondering if that's because it's so young compared to malts I'm used to drinking. Have had some half decent cask strengths at 6 years old but in general they are pretty raw and firey and don't taste of much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last cask 6 year old I had was Arrans machrie moor and it was fucking rank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty poor tbh. Might have to use this as a cocktail whisky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
