Chunkah Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 Let's focus in scotch here as it most certainly deserves its own thread as it is truly the nectar of the God's. Picked up these today. I'm a big GlenDronach fan and have never seen the Port Wood local to me so that was an easy choice. The Octomore; I sampled Edition 7.1 about a month ago at a whisky tasting and it was incredible; blow your socks off stuff. Today took me out of state and through New Hampshire. I did a quick search of the inventory of the State Liquor Store I'd be passing on my way to Maine, and they had 6 different editions available. After reading some online reviews I settled on Edition 12.2. Pours to commence shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hacker Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 I had a chance to try this one a 21 yr, very good. The double is the one I always seem to gravitate to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kings over Queens Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 I don't drink scotch much anymore, but when I did, Scapa was my favorite single malt. Very peaty but was a little difficult to find. About $80 if I recall. For blends, Chivas was always good. #otterlivesmatter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunkah Posted December 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 This was a bit underwhelming yesterday. Not sure if I was a bit off or what, so I'll try another taste in a bit. Almost too smooth, and not enough peat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunkah Posted December 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 Out-friggin-standing. They have 2 bottles left in that store. I'll pick them up on my next trip up to Maine if they're still there. phishallways 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often find myself sucking down bourbons because they're just so easy, but I feel like scotch offers much more complexity and a wider variety. Highland Park 18 is what I'm looking for now...want to try that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunkah Posted December 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 The Port Wood was very enjoyable today. My third pour of the day... autonomos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunkah Posted December 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 It took a lot of discipline not to buy this yesterday, but I spent enough on the 3 bottles I did buy so I practiced some self control. bass-o-matic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hit up 8 out of the 9 distilleries on Isley (the 9th was doing some renovations and was closed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll send you my flask. Return it with some of that Lagavulin. Thanks BLilly and Chunkah 2 You know it must be a penguin bound down if you hear that terrible screaming and there ain't no other birds around.
