18: the smoke, the maritime and peppery notes are still there but they are now more restrained and you get more sherry, citrus fruit and caramel. really great whisky.
de: similar to the 10 but more depth, lots of smoke and pepper followed by sweetness, citrus and vanilla.

>>13948765
The current Glendronach 15 isnt a touch on the 2012 version though. Clearly the 2012 version was an outlier and set the bar a bit too high because it had much older whisky in there. As for prices, the Glendronach 21 has gone up 30% or so in the last 2 years which is a fairly sizeable leap. Same with A'bunadh which went up.

Ive always overlooked Glenlivet. Never really associated them with anything special. Browsing some of the reviews, it looks like i might have been wrong though so a good one to check out.

Its a shame everything is so expensive. Personally I dont like the cheaper and younger sherry bombs. Im sure there are some out there that work, but I dont want to risk buying a whole bottle To my taste, its worth spending the extra for the 15 year or older versions and buy younger, cheaper Islays.

do you know why? because read about the distillery. they were closed for a while and when reopened, the used older barrels which were still in the vaults. so +- up untill 2016 ALL of reopened Glendronachs were much older then it was clamed on the label. 12yo's were actually around 15-16. 16yo's were up to 18, and so on. just read about it.

All good reasons to get then 10 then. Think I paid £25 for the QC whereas the standard retail price for the 10 is about £40, so it was a fair bit cheaper. Port Charlotte is likely to be my next Islay I think, but if the 10 is on offer then perhaps I will get that too.

As reference prices for well known bottles, Laph 10 is £40 and Macallan 12 Sherry Cask is £68. So overall, fairly reasonable for rum compared to whisky. I am looking forward to trying them as my rum selection has always been a bit limited.

When full price, they both retail for about the same price (£37-£40). QC is regularly reduced to £25 though. Plus the QC is 48% which is a bonus.

I just started on bourbon, and there is actually a flavor reason for drinking whiskey.

Try bourbon if you don’t already drink whiskey. You’ll immediately notice that there is a syrup, butter texture that isn’t found in water or soft drinks. Beyond that, if you allow your tongue to adjust to the alcohol burn, you’ll find all of the other flavors like the spice.

Someone in another thread said that the alcohol actually dissolves flavors that can’t be dissolved in water. So it’s only possible to get those flavors from the whiskey production methods.

I don’t drink bourbon to get drunk, but there is also that.

drinking spirits requires training your palate, unless you're on a very low sugar diet, they will naturally taste bitter

if you eat/drink almost no sugar, suddenly bourbon tastes like pure nectar

I’m currently drinking Elijah also. I still prefer Woodford over it, but it’s not bad.

After the Elijah I have a bottle of Basil Hayden to try.

Bourbon is much better than Rye, the only reason Rye is making a comeback is because...

1. Rye tastes better when its young.
2. Sourced MGP Rye.

New companies with profiteering at mind are bottling young Rye in cool bottles with fancy label's, they are sourcing from MGP.

They do this until they got the cash for there own distilling operation, they then have to wait 6-8 years minimum for a good Bourbon to mature.

Opened just for you. Love it. I'm not an expert on bourbon and I've drank the same Jim Beam at the local bar for years. All I can say is that this is like it on steroids plus a complex flavor. Both bottles cost about $57 each.

Posted in the last thread too but can just about make out what's here. The Glenmorangie set has Original, Lasanta and Quinta Ruban. The Tamnavulin is the Tempranillo cask version.

It's fairly unremarkable. It's not bad, but its nothing exciting. Not worth buying if I'm honest. There are much better bottles available for the same price and I mostly use it for cocktails. It was a gift though.

I like the single barrel more. Picked it up cheap for £25 when it normally sells for £45. I bought it because I tried it about 10 years ago and thought it was amazing. So when it was reduced I grabbed it. Probably a combination of time and experience, but it wasnt as good as I remembered. Good for £25, bad for £45 I'd say.

>it wasnt as good as I remembered
it's not just you, the product has gotten worse over time
the other thing is single-barrels have natural batch-to-batch variation, so there are more pronounced good and bad versions

I have Lasanta. Personally having tried a few, i think sherry cask whisky needs more age. It's not a bad whisky, but it's not great.

Personally I've decided it's worth spending the extra on some bottles to get the extra quality. Quite often I feel like a lot of the cheaper sherry cask whiskeys are just average. I dont mind going cheaper on islay whisky where I think you can still get a great bottle for relatively cheap. And I go more expensive on the sherry cask to get older whisky.

Aberlour 12 isn't really a sherry whisky, they had 12yo sherry but closed that line up for some reason and nowadays make only the Double cask in a basic line up. instead, the Glendronach is still making a good (prob one of the best sherried scotches), and the 12yo is infinitely better than Aberlour 12 double cask so if those coast the same you go for it lad with zero doubts.
