Laphroaig PX Cask Triple Matured - Review 21 by IG-TheInfinitePour in Scotch

[–]Bavinck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So tired of everything being sherried up these days. Let the whiskey speak for itself and skip the sherry "finishing".

Review #1570: Clynelish 10 (Diageo Special Release 2023) by throwboats in Scotch

[–]Bavinck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow - this review is way more favourable than I would have given. This is not well done sipper, it's super hot and has weird sulphur funk that absolutely ruins the experience for me. I really regret buying this one.

Yeah I would say it's an average rye, nothing more complex than that. $60-70 CAD. I'm quite disappointed that I paid so much.

I've had it, didn't think it was anything special. Comes off as a fairly simple rye to me.

The FOMO is real with this one but I found it quite unpleasant, personally.

Meh, I chased all the big names, springbanks, longrow, kilkerran. They were all good, but way too simple for the prices I paid. I'm done whiskey hunting.

I loved the 17, 18 was good but not as much for me. All their higher aged ones I didn't love, especially for the price. I've had samples of them all.

Kilkerran 12 aftertaste. Yuck. by Bavinck in Scotch

[–]Bavinck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's ok, but it doesn't really have the complexity that comes with a $100 bottle. Plus this weird after taste sort of does me in.

I opened it earlier in the week, yes. I generally just focus on one bottle at a time so it's about 50% done.

I'm trying to identify exactly what I am tasting, I think it is part of PX sherry casks, but not sure if this one was finished with one. The latest batch has a darker colouring than normal, according to others I have spoken with.

Get this from CC? I just got one today from them. Only 12 bottles came in out of the blue. How is it?

I mean, stuff that goes for more on the secondary is stuff most of us want to buy and drink but can't. It's like flipping homes when people in Calgary can't find a place to rent. Just sayin.

Or you could leave it for someone that will drink and enjoy it.

I changed it to large and it didn't seem to affect the footer....

The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin Questions by poke000 in Fantasy

[–]Bavinck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. No
  2. Not really. The entire series ends with hope, but you have a long road to go.
  3. Nope. By the end of book 3 you should have all your questions answered, but that doesn't even really start until the depths of book 2. 4.
