    Had one with the Mrs last night. I love this one, 18 yr old Glenmorangie marked "extremely rare" and one of the smoothest I own.

    Happy New Year!

    As the time passes, so we learn.

He and I have both traded single malts in the past and I believe he's a fan of the Islay smokey/briny flavors of brands like Laphroaig 10yr. But it would be our first foray into Japan so any opinions are welcome!
    Thanks and Merry Christmas!
    anyone? anyone? oh also, we agreed the price went up to about $100...

    Also, having a little taste of my oldest single malt.

    Here's a list of under $100US (before taxes) Japanese whiskies in the Seattle area. I get a lot from both these folks at other WA stores.

    The only Japanese whiskey I've tried was the Yamakazi 12 year old. It reminded me of a Speyside Scotch.

    Talisker Storm! It was on sale at our local bottle shop so we gave it a try. Wow! This is a total seaside peat bomb, but really smooth and nice. I can certainly try more of this. There's even a little honey at the back of the palate.

    I enjoy the Abelour. In fact, I brought a bottle of 18 year old and a bag-piper to the Cemetary to toast my Dad at the one year anniversary of his passing.
