Also got a Glenmorangie Lasanta at £35 and a Jura 10 yo at £28 while I was in. Will be lying low for a while now, literally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a wee liking for it when I got a 4 x 10cl taster pack as a present. It had the original, the lasanta sherry cask 12yo at 43%, quinta ruban port cask 12yo at 46% and the nectar d'or sauternes cask 12yo at 46% Lovely stuff 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJohnboy Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Got this as a father's day gift at the weekend. 12, 15 and 18 yo samplers. They all taste surprisingly quite different, but all absolutely superb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I don't like much from Glenfiddich. Watery, tasteless disappointment in a bottle. They need to bottle at 46% like most other good distilleries to change my mind about that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything I thought the 15 yo had a more distinctive taste. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ones I like more than others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I bought a Highland Park Dragon’s Legend which was reduced from £40 to £30 in Tesco. Shite name, good whisky. More peat and more sherry than a normal HP makes it more like an Islay malt. Would recommend* *I’m pished after a full day of World Cup boozing so don’t blame me if you buy it and it turns out to be shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Strathisla 12 lastnight. Tasted nice and its rare for me but I was able to pick apple and pear from the tasting notes. However, pretty much confirmed to me why I stay away from less than 46%. Its too much water. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine that's a terrific gift, but the branding really does make it look like it's chocolate, caramel and mint flavoured whisky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that light deceptive, or is it really that pale? That's one of the palest looking whiskies I've ever seen. Almost white wine colour! I'm assuming its incredibly smooth and not in the slightest bit peaty? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopburn boy Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 For both "Savage Henry" and "Ziggy" Aye I paid £210 for it , and have helped all those who bought as an investment , by opening mine - it was by far the most expensive whisky I've ever bought , but I never considered Flipping it , owning and quaffing a wee bit of history is rather nice , I'm certain it will sit quietly at the back of the shelf and take some time to be finished . No hint of peat ! Colour - light Gold Nose , p***kly , lemony, cereal, hint of somthing herbal Neat - again lemon , grassy, pepperey , somthing sweet in the background Cut ( a teaspoon ) again lemon getting fruity not sharp , herbs ( bay , and more) and with a bit of time chocolatey notes Finish , just sublime , long , lemon gets more “bitter” and there are some floral and maybe an earthy touch Wonderful stuff 89 / 100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't really mean anything other than it wasn't aged in any kind of wine or sherry cask. Colour != flavour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
