Thread: Scotch/whiskey of the day

Actually, I poured it back into the bottle after I shot the photo...I don't think that it was even noon the time. But I'm enjoying it immensely, as I type this!

I've always wanted to visit Scotland, even before I discovered scotch. Now I have more incentive...too much, in fact: there's just too many distilleries I'd want to visit!

By the way: it seems that we may have something else in common...I'm a Kevin, too!

I was on my holidays on the isle of Mull a couple of years ago and done the Tobermory distillery tour, good wee set up they have. Though I must admit I was more interested in the tasting session at the end

Another Kevin, sure that practically makes you Irish. If you ever get over to Scotland, take a couple of days out to visit N Ireland and come to Bushmills near me. Oldest distillery in the world, since 1608

Heyyy gringo!! I always behave... with in reason

Just picked up a bottle of Auchentoshan Three wood and arrived home with it. Going to open it now. Never had it before, so I'm looking forward to tasting it. Notes likely to follow.

I went to the locall bar & grill tonight with a buddie. I had a glass of Glenmorangie. Good stuff! My friend had a Yamakazi. Not sure of the spelling on that one. Anyway, the recomendation of Glenmorangie as a starter Scotch was spot on. Thanks, gents.

I don't know about Glenmorangie as a starter scotch, but they certainly make some DFS (Damn Fine Scotch in this instance). Which of their many offerings did you have? I recently finished off a bottle of their delicious 12 year old Nectar D'Ór. And I'm waiting for a special occasion that's worthy of uncorking a bottle of their Signet that's been sitting in my liquor cabinet for several years; I'm really looking forward to that day!

I haven't gotten around to sampling Yamakazi yet, but it's on my list.

Yamazaki (or 山﨑) is very nice. I've tried the 12 year old and will buy myself a bottle of something when I get around to it but, like most Japanese whisky, it's fairly expensive.

The 18 year old seems to have a fair collection of awards but at £95, I need a better reason than that (or a new job) to buy a bottle of it.

Please do post some tasting notes. I've only tasted the young Auchentoshan Classic, which I enjoy in the occasional mixed drink or "Scottish Coffee". The triple wood sounds promising!

Nice! It's been a while since I've had that one..
