Sipping Aberlour A'bunadh, Batch 45 right now. Mmm, mmm!

Just got a bottle of Balvenie 12 year old Single Barrel. Non chill-filtered and 48 + % alcohol. Dee-lish!:D

Mmmm, Cragganmore...

I've been enjoying the Highland single malt from Grangestone, a captive bottling offered by TotalWine. Good stuff, lighter and smoother than some of the other Highland malts I've had, but not as...

It's funny, but I sometimes find myself rubbing my chin and thinking of having a shave after a dram...probably a REAL bad idea!:(

I just picked up a bottle of The Dalmore 12 year old. Good stuff. The palate has a hint of apple or pear followed by maple syrup or molasses without the sweetness, followed immediately by a hint of...

Personally, I like whiskies flavored with peat from Orkney better than those that feature peat from Islay. My recommendation would be Talisker 10 year old, or the youngest Highland Park (I think...

The HP 18 is outstanding! I was given a bottle in a trade earlier this year and was just floored at how good it is. I too think it's better than the Macallan 18.

I recently bought a bottle of Dewar's 12, and have become fond of it. A gentle peat smokiness and light honey sweetness make it definitely more-ish.

I'm currently working on a bottle of Highland Park 18 year old. Wonderful stuff (I've also had their 12 and 15, and loved them). I may have found my favorite Scotch distillery...:)

Sipping Glenlivet Nadurra as I write this. Non-chill-filtered, cask strength (54.2 % ABV), bottled in November of last year. Yummy!

I also have a bottle of Abunadh from batch 37, 59.6% ABV. Great...

Here's a quick update. I had another dram of the JW Double Black last night, and the charcoal smokiness was less pronounced than it was when the bottle was first opened. I'd read that whisky...

I bought a bottle of the Double Black tonight and am sipping some now. Seriously, except for the alcohol heat and lack of hop bitterness, it reminds me a lot of a German Rauchbier (smoked beer). ...

I haven't tried the 18, but I do have a bottle of the HP 15 at home. It's good stuff, and a bit different from the 12. According to Highland Park's YouTube videos, it's because the 15 is matured in...

Sipping The Glenlivet 18 right now...;)

I have some, and it's good. Two bottles, actually. One was purchased online from a vendor in Scotland and is a 700 ml (legal in the UK) bottle. The second was purchased from World of Liquor in...

Sipping Highland Park 12 as I type this. It's good stuff! I had tried an Islay (Bruichladdie "Rocks") and didn't care for it. But my Mackinlay Rare Highland Malt (the "Shackleton" whisky) has a...
