Thread: Scotch/whiskey of the day

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.

It was the original 10 year-old.

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.

Having a little 16 year Lagavulin tonight. Nice smooth smokey taste. Have had been having sips of Scotch and various other whiskers for years. Last year I thought I would pay more attention. Sure like the peaty ones.

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..

if you know what I mean

I really liked Auchentoshan Three Wood. I'll be buying a bottle to replace my Glenfarclas 105 when that runs out, as they have a similar rich, sweetness.

Tonight's beverage wasn't whisky but tequila—Herradura Seleccion Suprema Extra Añejo Edicion Limitada. No picture; maybe I'll take one next time the bottle comes out.
