What do you think of the miyagikyo? I've been tempted by a bottle but I keep thinking that Japanese whisky is overpriced by comparison to scotch whisky, so I don't buy much of it these days, unless...

Should have thought to check ralfy's archive. Del Maguey seems like a good bet. Next time, I'll pick up a bottle!

Got a recommendation or general price point for a mezcal?

Don't want to spend loads but something a bit better than a basic cheapo bottle.

Do you mean 12 year old?

If not, who bottles a 10 year old version and how does it compare?

Also, you're not doing your whisky any favours in a glass of that shape. If you don't have or can't...

I treat this as a general spirits thread now tbh...

Surprisingly, it's a pretty dry rum. It's sweet but like fruit sugar sweet rather that honey, dessert sweet.

Lots of banana flavours over...

No idea—it's not here yet!

I started off buying a bottle every now and again to keep things different but I've since been enjoying it a lot.

Pick yourself up a bottle of el dorado 12 year old....

Bought an edradour 10 and also a bottle of worthy park (?) Jamaican rum (Hunter Laing bottling - 10 yo cask strength)

Also picked up a bottle of lagavulin 8 yo for fathers' day.

Spending too...

Keep meaning to pick up a glenrothes. They seem to get mixed reviews but their age stated 'vintage' versions appear to be pretty good.

Finished of my Arran 10 year old.

I don't know whether to buy a bottle of edradour 10 year old or deanston 12 year old.
Right know I'm erring toward the edradour. Thoughts?

I'm on a low-cost whisky phase right now. I recently bought a bottle of Benromach 5 year old and I'm just about to buy an indy peated bunnahabhain 8 year old.

I have a bottle of aultmore 12—I'm really enjoying it!

Apart from the annoying capitalisation, what's the deal with that? Some drama that I've missed? I hardly check the main forum at the moment!

Check the alcohol volume. I think it might be just that...

So, I bought my mum a 'Campbeltown whisky tasting set' for her birthday as something a bit different (and less expensive...!), which includes samples of springbank 15, hazelburn 12, kilkerran...

I quite like the caraway, though I remember the more balanced flavours being more enjoyable. The miniatures were great but looking back now, I can't remember which were better or why.

I might buy...

What are the laws like on sending alcohol to Norway? If you ever want anything that you can't normally get hold of, hit me up because I still owe you a return favour for the aquavit. [emoji106]

Happy birthday for Monday [emoji324]

Storm is pretty good but I'd still personally rather a bottle of the 10 year old. Skye is the one that everyone thinks is a bit shit but you never know—personal tastes and all that.

I'm not so...

Happy new year all. A port charlotte Scottish barley saw me in.

17 does sound very good. I'd not go as far as a saying 'peated', rather it seems to have a hint of peat in the nose.
I'd suggest it's heavily dominated by the sherried spicy notes.

Do it. They're all good and surprisingly different from each other. I recall 10 year old being enjoyably oily and tarry, more reminiscent of an island dram.
12 is more what you might expect, rich,...

So who got anything nice for Christmas? I now have a nice bottle of glenfarclas 15 year old.

I thought you'd lit your drink for a moment!

More notes on this please. I've only recently started on what bruichladdich distillery offer; I have a bottle of port charlotte Scottish barley, I've tried the islay barley version, an octomore 7.1...
