Thread: Scotch/whiskey of the day

Yeah, Tobermory 10 year old is a good choice. I'd like to try an older offering but they don't come cheap...

It's Oban 14 tonight, gents.

Last night - Glenmorangie 12 Lasanta

Suntory Yamazaki single malt tonight, delicious stuff

Yep. See my post above. I opened it last weekend, going to have more of it tonight when my friend arrives. It was under $60, but still a very nice bottle.

Have yet to try Yamazaki, but its on my hit list. Some Laphroaig for me tonight. Cheers.

I finally picked up a bottle of Highland Park 12 this week. At about half of what I've paid for some of the Islay peat monsters, it's a pretty good all around whisky as some have reported. A little sweet and a little smokey, a nice change for this hellacious summer.

I've got about 10 bottles on my list of things to try. I actually don't know what to buy next...

Definitely give it a try, it's very smooth and smells wonderful. Taste is on the sweeter side of the spectrum in my opinion.

Yoichi is a better distillery, in my opinion. I also think that Japanese whiskies, as good as they are, aren't usually worth the inflated prices, so unless I found something that really caught my eye, I'd probably only buy if I could find them cheaper.

I currently have a bottle of Yamazaki and hakushu distiller's edition. One was bought in Japan, the other on offer in Costco. Probably wouldn't pay UK rrp for either, as there are better scotch whiskies that can be had for less money - don't know what the prices are like for those of you in the states though.

I would like to try something from miyagikyō distillery but their bottlings often seem to be only 50cl, which really makes it even less value for money.
