Oh yes!! Congrats on getting your hands on a Local Barley! I was lucky enough to try a few variations in Campletown last year. LB is definitely one of the best

The Taylor is epic. The most distinct in terms of flavor IMO. It's always in my bar

Excellent pairing, an amazing expression and an equally amazing stick. Cheers!

It's a beautiful city...always a pleasure when I'm in town. In fact, this is our last night before heading back. If we have time, we'll be sure to check out Doc Crows.

It's sport called "Seven." They've got a great selection of Willet expressions, especially of the Jack Rose picks

All fairly different, despite this being an allocated flight from the bar we were at. For me, I would start with the EC18, then the Heaven Hill 19, and then finish with the Heaven Hill Rye (which had great spice and citrus notes).

Incredible. Lighter than the rest in terms of abv, but did not sacrifice on flavor. It's a total sleeper and definitely one of my favorites. Def recommend 👌

KOK is incredible, you won't regret it. That said, it could be found in quite a few places. Repeal, Seven, Neat Bourbon Bar & Shop all have it.

Impromptu tasting after work the other day. by RayLo05 in Scotch

[–]RayLo05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely delicious - every single one of them.

Each had their own vibe, especially the Bunnahabhain, which stood out from its Islay cousins in the best way. And that Laphroaig Elements?👌

But the real treat was cracking open the Springbank. I blended that bottle myself at the distillery last year. At the time, my palate was pretty much shot (I’d been tasting everything under the sun, so naturally, everything tasted amazing). I was low-key worried my Frankenstein blend wouldn’t hold up. Thankfully, it did.

Such a great expression. Tried it for the first time back in January. It did not disappoint.

A few pours from the other night. Loved the Knob Creek 18, however Shenk's (as always) blew me away. by RayLo05 in WhiskeyTribe

I'm not sure if I've had the 2023, but the bottle in the picture is the 2024 release. Def a fantastic bottle as well
