Thread: Scotch/whiskey of the day

Glenfiddich 12year old today. I like buffalo trace

Glenmorangie 18 years old, but even this very nice scotch can't beat my sweet Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban.

My most recent whisky outing was to Baranow's Lounge in Melbourne. Had a couple drams with my wife, Caol Ila 2001 and Benromach Sassicaia Wood Finish. Both were delicious but I personally preferred the Caol Ila.

Aberlour a'bunadh, batch 45. Wow!

Quite disappointed now. This was possibly the most interesting whisky I've ever tasted with so many distinctive aromas and flavours developing once a wee drop of water is added. Truly a magnificent dram. I tried it at a friend's place on a recent trip to England and was really impressed. I's cask strength and at 60.3% alcohol it's illegal to bring it into Norway where I live. So sad. I'm about to drown my sorrows with a drop of 12 year old caol isla. Well, maybe not drown them, I have work in the morning, but I'll at least get their feet wet.

I have to agree!!

Been re-exploring Rye Whiskeys lately

Jim Beam Rye
Bulleit Rye

I even came across a Corn Whiskey from Platte River

Platte Valley Corn Whiskey | American Whiskey Review | MoIppai


Straight, I have to disagree with the reviewer above, but with Cola it is really really good


Planning on trying quite a few more of the many available new Rye's out there

I'm not much of a Rye drinker anymore (which is weird, being Canadian and all lol), but I am curious about Jim Beam Rye probably for no other reason than it's not available here. I do enjoy their Bourbon mixed with Ginger Ale though, sometimes with a bit of lime juice; heaven in a glass my friend

Bulleit Rye is another one not available here (TMK at least), but I was not impressed with their Bourbon at all so I'm not in a hurry to try that one.

But if you're on a Rye kick just come to Canada and get your fill

I have had the Knob Creek Rye (Beam family) which I thought was good. Bulleit Rye is excellent, although I have heard to same lackluster reviews of their bourbon.

Another good one is Wild Turkey Russell's Reserve Rye.

Not sure what to buy—Ardbeg 10 year old or Bowmore Legend. Opinions?
