THE MACALLAN -- Cask Strength (and sundry booze discussion)

[broken cord]

I just finnished the last dram of the Macallan 18 year, now all that is left is the old dusty 21yo.

I was looking at a 1/4 cask laphroig yesterday. It did say the peatiness comes through very strong after the first flavors subside. Mind you a 15 year old sounds good too. I'd go for a 1/4 cask first to see if its stronger in peatiness than Ardbeg, which slays on all levels!  :lol: I bought another 10 year Laphroig. I bought a Macallan on Sunday and a Ardmore on Friday. I love it!  :santa:

One of my contractors bought me a bottle of grouse for Chirstams, I'm trying to drown it in Coke, but it's still bloody 'orrible.  Another one of them bought me a bottle of Glenfiddich which isn't quite so bad.  No good whisky this year...... yet  :(

You can't beat the Islay stuff. Bruichladdich is consistently good.

Excellent TM! Their 21 yrs old is suppose to be amongst the best of the lowlands. I got the three wood one which I like even though doesn't get excellent ratings. Enjoy Sir! Cheers!!

I just committed a white collar crime -- stole the bottle of 12y/o Balvenie from my boss' office. He doesn't drink any more and you have to ask which is the greater crime in a situation like this !! PDT_008

I just got a bottle of Caol Ila. Ye gods this stuff is so strong! It's like Arbeg on steroids. I'm getting quite into it.  :D
