Thread: Scotch/whiskey of the day

Do you mean 12 year old?

If not, who bottles a 10 year old version and how does it compare?

Also, you're not doing your whisky any favours in a glass of that shape. If you don't have or can't get a proper whisky glass, at least use a wine glass or something that narrows at the rim rather than flares out.

Got a recommendation or general price point for a mezcal?

Don't want to spend loads but something a bit better than a basic cheapo bottle.

I've only tried one to be honest, but it's nice. Atenco mezcal espadin joven. Cost about £65, but that's the Norway price and the bottle's hand blown which probably adds a few quid. I'll try to get a picture up, it's a nice looking bottle. it looks like master of malt have a pretty big selection and I think Ralfy's recommended del maguey. Price seems to vary quite a lot, from around £40 to upwards of £160.

Aloha!

I'm not much of an alcoholic drinker these days, but when I do embibe, if it's Kentucky Bourbon, it's always Wild Turkey.
I've taken the Bourbon Trail tour and met the Master Distiller at Wild Turkey. I prefer his Whiskey over the others. Of course, this is highly subjective.


When it comes to Scotch, it's always Glenmorangie. I prefer this single malt. BTW, it's pronounched like Orange-ey. Glen-Morangie.


Mahalo!

Caol Ila 12 yr for me tonight. I saved a bit in the glass and as a dessert, put a small spoonful of good ice cream in the glass. The Caol Ila coated the ice cream. A nice micro treat.

That sounds delicious. I'm going to try that.

Should have thought to check ralfy's archive. Del Maguey seems like a good bet. Next time, I'll pick up a bottle!

This is the mezcal I bought. Quite vegetal and peppery, with a bit of smoke and burnt and caramelized sugars. One day I'll get a review up on the blog, but probably not for a while.

Just finished a bottle of Jamieson black barrel. Only had a dram or two left so figured why not.

Went to pick up a bottle of Woodford Reserve and a Makers Mark only to stumble onto a 1.75ml bottle of woodford...it normally comes in .75ml.
