    man what Gordon and MacPhail stuff I've seen I'd need a tax check to buy lol, still tho one day I'll drop the coin n get some, also on the "is it worth x number of dollars for said scotch" My step-dad as a wedding present got a bottle of Auchentoshan 21 year (I want to say might be 24) and paid close to 500 for ir, it's damn tasty, but I'm not so sure I would spend that much? Even if it lasted a while it's hard to justify that much money for a bottle of liquid... also when did Tequila become as expensive as Scotch? ffs also I saw a $600 bottle of Gin! Immediate thought was "that better be the best fuckin Gin in the world for that price" Cognac is just as bad too, but I don't care for that crap

    OK then, Balvenie and the Macallan are next on my list. Many thanks.

    I just picked up a bottle of Balvenie 12 year this afternoon and can't wait to tear the cap of that bad boy.

    Did you try the 12 doublewood or the 12 signature?
  • BombayBombay Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 1,207
    It will be the 12 year doublewood, I picked up. Unfortunately it was not to be enjoyed this weekend but may get into it this week. Before I get the what the hell are you waiting for reply I am training for a tough mudder and try to only drink on the weekends.Will let you guys know for sure after I crack the bottle open.

    The doublewood is excellent. It has a bit more sweetness than most Scotches.

    You know I was reading the brochoure they send with the bottle and that was caught my attention, they liken it to a honey taste which I am excited experience as I have had some very peaty Scotchs and can definitely say that end of the spectrum isn't my thing, well isn't my thing right now anyway.

    There's no hurry, the weekend is just around the corner, and even if you don't get to it this weekend, I'll bet you'll do it the following. Good things should rarely be rushed.

    This is not acceptable. Drink your whisky now. NOW. If the world ends tomorrow, and you still have good whisky on your shelf...how sill would you feel. :P

    You mean I gotta finish off that half empty bottle of 23 year old Pappys I hoard for really special occasions? Lordy Lordy. I s'pose I should also burn up my best cigar with it just because it's Tuesday? OY!

    OK, I tried...I really did, but when I reached for the Pappys, I started sweating, so it went back in the cabinet and I setttled for some Highland Park. I did manage to burn up a 4 year old My Father, so I 'll call it a compromise, sort of.

    Very good. You are learning. Dumb question for you, but you said it was a half bottle of Pappy? How long has it been open, and have you filled it with any inert gas? Because with that much air space your whiskey is just oxidizing and going bad.... You won't notice it if it is only a couple months, but it will start losing flavor if it is getting exposed to that much oxygen. In a year or two, it won't be the same whiskey, and not in a good way.

    Going to be doing my first scotch review tomorrow night. This will hopefully be a regular thing. Will provide the link once it is posted. I have a feeling we are starting with the Ardbeg Galileo. So that in itself makes me excited!

    one of my friends who runs a cigar review website asked me if i would do scotch reviews for his website...the hardest part is being limited by budget...otherwise i would review daily!

    If you are ever looking for something, shoot me a PM. I know how to UPS a flask. Though my collection veers more towards bourbon.

    I may take you up on that. I have 20 bottles from our club to review, so i have a good start point.

    It's been open for about 9 months, no inert gas.....I will just have to swill it down, I guess.

    You can also just get a bottle of this. Only a few bucks, can be use 50 or more times, and is great for saving those bottles youu don't get to very often. I am too much of drunk to need it... but my friends that use it swear by it.
