Any One for a Scotch?

First time back with this in I don’t even know how long. Never going to be confused with Laphroaig, but man this came out of the bottle WAY smokier than I recalled. Interesting.

Ending the year with a delicious one.

Not tonight (a too late and too expensive dinner beckons), but bloody hell this is so damn good.

Makes me pine for a properly chilled climate. Too decadent for "cold" SoCal nights...

Where do you live again? If someone robs your hooch stash in the coming days, it definitely was not me.

Really fun little pour. Nose (big tar and smoke, Ardbeg-ian) and palate (big sweet fruit with a dash of ash) are at complete odds to me.

Cannot to see how this one ages.

not super peaty?

 

[ericgereghty]

Palate wise? Not much. Far more sweet on a first pass. A bit on the finish, but fruit/sweet dominant to start

So much better after the neck. But, also…so horridly priced

Hi! New to this thread and usually go to the Macallan 12 Sherry Oak or Balvenie 14 Caribbean Cask, but I'm looking to pick up the Balvenie 21 Port Wood. I'd be interested to know if anyone here has tried the Balvenie 14 Bourbon Cask (from the Collection of Curious Casks) -- I've seen it around and wanted to try it, but haven't picked up a bottle yet.
