Scotch whiskey related items. What are your favorites.

This can include all whiskeys that are not bourbon. Irish, Japanese and malt whiskies. This 16 year is incredible. Very smooth. 

  

Maybe start with a monkey shoulder. But I will warn you all whiskey, drinking in general is not to try to cheap out on a bottle. That is not the way to go with whiskey drinking. Of course, the more you pay the more elegant the taste of course there are a few exceptions. Just a reminder to those who try scotch once or twice in there life and then say that it is terrible. Just an FYI. Don’t give up their bottles for you!

Ice it down then. You might prefer a sweeter scotch such as Glenmorangie or balvenie. If I remember right you don’t like any alcohol taste. Maybe a TX whiskey. 

Bass,  I’ve never had scotch before, so I followed your advice.  I bought a bottle of dimple….  I’ll continue to dabble, but man I REALLY don’t like it!

Just mentioning again that this corazon tequila is outstanding. The aroma consists of pineapple and apple. The taste has tonight lemon, butterscotch and pepper. ?You can pick up the Weller notes from time to time. This is good whiskey. 

Well, just finished another bottle of the yamazaki 12 year Japanese whiskey. Great aroma of apple, peaches and cinnamon. The flavor is very floral, with cinnamon and vanilla being prevalent. Love this 12 year I still have not bought a bottle of the 18 year due to the fact that I still love the 12 year. Great whiskey! 

Picked up a limited edition blackened along with an XO

Finished off the glenfiddich 14 tonight.... seemed to get smoother every time I took a pour, 
will select a different make/model next week.....

Some liquor store in IL. But total wine should carry it. There are diff bottles of the ancient available.

BMR, Woodmans did not have that Aincient Age whiskey you recommended some posts back. I really took my time and searched the aisle to no avail. Of course the lazy b a s t a r d working behind the checkout was no help, just said it would be with other whiskeys…
I’ ll tty Ottos in Milwaukee when I get down there… do u recall where u got it?

Not only does the Aberfelldy 12 you come in a nice metal box. It taste pretty good as well. Discourages another peaches and cream with a buttery after effect. Of course, mold and just a little bit of baking spice in there. I like this bottle as well.

Man I am in for a treat, and I guess you’re too with this critique. The extremely rare Glenmorangie 18 year. You know I am very fond of this excellent scotch. Peaches and cream, nectarines, tangerines, butterscotch, toffee this is just a sweet flavor explosion! Almost out of this bottle will be picking one up this weekend. Good thing I know somebody because it is extremely rare. 

Yes sorry another bourbon. So glad my good friend picked me up 2 of the Yellow limited 2022. Nuts and salted caramel very prevalent in this bottle. The limited edition for 2022 is a blended 7, 15 and a 16 year blend. Maple syrup rounded up the back end on this one. 

Had to run down to Sun Prairie today and bring me poor 91 year old Ma a new tv, hook it up etc.
When I left treated meself to aisle wandering at Woodmans. Came home with pictured, saved a fortune compared to what I’d pay in Central Wi.
Buckhound. If you’re still out there that John Barr scotch is fantastic! It is as good or better IMHO  to Johnny Walker Black, and like half the price!!! 
Thanks for recommmending!

Yes it’s a bourbon with 21% rye. The devils river is around 25 to 30 bucks a bottle. Honey and caramel to the taste with a bite of rye. The aroma is peppery. Not bad could be a few bucks cheaper in my opinion. This is out of Texas.  Putting it in some old fashions tonight for the 9pm huge basketball game.
