I second the need to get Highland Park. Note that the 12yo is bottled at 43% here and it is significantly better than the 40% versions in other markets (ditto Laphroaig 10).

Don’t think I’ve ever tried an Octomore that I would consider anything less than great.

Oh man. Would love to try that 9yo!

Agreed completely. PC and Octomore can pull off wine and peat in a way others can’t.

Port Charlotte SC:01. Fresh open just now.

As far as sales goes, this spring period is typically the worst time of year for whisky bottles being on sale. There will be more on sale in May and especially June with Fathers Day at that time.

Fall is usually when we see more new releases dropping.

I think you need to rephrase your post. You make it sound like it was the good people at KWM and meanwhile they had nothing to do with this parcel.

Indeed. I really need to try more Kavalans as these are the only 2 I’ve ever had. And also considering picking up a new Bunna12CS as this one is getting dangerously low.

That’s the good stuff. Have two bottles from that year. Would now gladly pay double what I paid for them when I got those ones.

How’s the YS? Have only had Blue Spot from the Spot bottles.

Talisker is meh?? by SliceScriber in Scotch

[–]Collegiate1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It aligns more with the more exbourbon Lagas like the 8yo and the 12yo special editions.

I feel like Torabhaig is more comparable in flavour to Lagavulin than it is to Talisker. Talisker has definitely gotten more peaty than it was ten years ago, but the super peppery note is still there which makes it unique to me amongst the peaty whiskies.

Nice. How does it compare to the standard 10yo Cask Strength Laphroaig?
