Never seen Deanston in the cask strength range. First fill sherry too. Is cask strength a set percentage? I don't recall seeing 64.4% before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Is cask strength a set percentage? I don't recall seeing 64.4% before. Cask strength just means its bottled at whatever strength it is in the cask rather than being watered down to 40 or 43% or whatever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The usual strength most whisky is laid down in the cask is around 63.5% for most distillers, which then reduces further through evaporation etc. I've seen some single cask Glenlivet at near 70% abv even with 9 or 10 years in the cask. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 My view on Japanese is whisky is a nip or two (stop it) is lovely but too sweet for a quarter pint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsjfc Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 My friend just poured me on of these. Lovely. There was a bottle of that my folks house and it was very pleasant. Splashed out on a bit of a whim on the 15 year old revival today - not sure if it is an investment or for drinking. Glendronach collection growing though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermik Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 As I said on here before, I cant drink whisky as it just burns right through me. I offered my unopened bottles of Talisker Storm and Skye along with 17 premium miniatures and somebody said they would take them. I asked how much and I got the smart arse answer of all of them. My neighbor is now rattling into them after paying the massive sum of a........ fiver. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Been off for the last couple of weeks and tried some amazing stuff. I've had samples of a 1999 Glenfarclas family cask, a 25 and two 27 year old Glenturrets at cask strength. Couple of Sprinkbanks, a 13 year old single cask which is really good and an 18 Old Particular which was surprisingly bad (really offputting fishy notes). Then this week took a wee trip to Inveraray of all places. Found this interesting number! Been wanting one of these for ages! Wee miniature of another one I've wanted to try for good measure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means both to skim over and read thoroughly. It also has the American "oo" sound, rather than the British "you"... ... How's the whisky? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
