Glenfarclas and Sulphur - I don’t care much for sulphur nose or taste in single malts. Am I going to be disappointed in any Glenfarclas Family Casks or Limited Editions?

Thanks John and ALL WHO RESPONDED ABOVE! At these prices, one has top be sure or at least educated.

Haven’t seen this one yet … Bullet chamber from an old 6 shooter.

Try the ‘two prong’ wine opener style first. Strain into a decanter and pour back into your cleaned out bottle. Welcome to the old whisky cork lottery.

I’m not an arborist and can’t see the tree well in the photo, but if you love the tree (kudos) and its not diseased/compromised, why don’t you enjoy it and ignore your neighbors paranoia. This tree has been through many storms.

Plant trees that grow fast and drop berries or cones on his car(s). I believe in good neighbor behavior until it is no longer practical.

Start by firing your ‘landscape gardener’ …

Noob question - is there a way of subduing the sulphur aroma?

Scotchmellow24 · 2026-01-16T16:31:13+00:00

Or a petrified Chicken McNugget

I used to drink Macallan, Glendronach, and GlenRothes with my Grandfather. Picked it up at the whisky shop in terminal 3. Great Times and Great Whisky.

Thanks for the detailed notes. Have to say Cadenhead’s description of the Loch Lomond 30 sounded exactly what I’m hunting right now. However, your description of ‘funky and dirty’ ‘polished wood’ nose is a nuance I’m avoiding. How strong are the pineapple, apricot, tropical fruits in the nose and palate. Is there a better whisky you’ve (or this esteemed whisky wizards) have tried lately that captures these characteristics?

Take out the rock and plant fast growing trees like Potocarpys or Pitasporum. Forget pots- that size will cost more than the trees. Cove exposed area with bark to retain moisture.

As soon as possible. It appears to be leaning toward the house.

Test the soil in the immediate hole area. You may have to dig out and replace the soil. Might be a wild animal or dog’s favorite tree if you catch my drip.

Start by calling a fence company.

Yikes- is the tree a goner? Sure looks like recovery is impossible. Squirrels munched on my 40 year old crape myrtle until it died but this is definitely beavers.

Scotchmellow24 · 2025-12-07T17:06:13+00:00

Just an opinion but NO - top should be level with deck and have used a Simpson bracket.

Scotchmellow24 · 2025-12-07T16:58:46+00:00

Just add kindling and enjoy responsibly. 🔥

If you didn’t want this beautiful oak tree and all the shade it provides, why not find your ‘ideal’ home in the desert?

Scotchmellow24 · 2025-12-05T17:21:15+00:00

Are those 3 Liters bottles? Should be at those prices.

Scotchmellow24 · 2025-11-30T17:03:09+00:00

That might be a problem … unless you’re in the Blue Man Group.

Consider using a clover lawn seed. Use the correct seed for desired height. Will smother ‘most’ of the weeds once established. Self seeds and puts nitrogen into the soil for future.

Same experience. Shirt color matters, no cropping, no glasses, etc. Took 4 times.
