Schumi5 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Cracked a new bottle of one of my all time favs...Laphroaig QC. Bring on the peat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Finished the remainder of my Jameson 18. Quite good for a blend, but not worth the asking price (and at only 40%, those cheapskates ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotusguy Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Bruichladdich "The Laddie" 10 - got to pick up another bottle STAT. Then Ardbeg Corryvreckan - Holy Peat, Batman!!! - Awesome!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Wow. Talk about the different ends of the spectrum! If you can, and you really like the Corry, try looking for a Aird Nam Beist (sp?). Been gone for a few years now and very hard to find, but takes the Corry by the balls and makes it his *****....lol Been looking for a bottle or 30 for a long time now... Sadly, the Beist is way above my price range I guess I could always get some Octomore but the levels of peat in that one are just silly - they just want to prove a point, I guess.

winelover Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 How doea the uigadal (or however it is spelt) compare with the corry? My Ardbeg experience is limited to the 10. I am inclined to go for the former as it is slightly cheaper than the corry which I think might be wasted on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hohenthal Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 How doea the uigadal (or however it is spelt) compare with the corry? My Ardbeg experience is limited to the 10. I am inclined to go for the former as it is slightly cheaper than the corry which I think might be wasted on me. Uigeadal has 10% sherry casks in the vatting, Corryvreckan is 100% (or almost that) Bourbon matured - the first being rounder and with a more civilized depth, the latter perhaps more "untamed". Then again, with limited bottlings like these there can be a difference from one batch to the next... Cheers, Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sengjc Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 If you like some sweetness to your smoky Islays, try the Galileo. It's quite reasonably priced too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winelover Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Thanks for the above help. I enjoy Scotch, but have only recently developed a fascination. I am planning on my acquisitions, and when funds allow I am going to be starting my collection with the following: Bruichladdich - the Laddie Ten, Glendronach - 15 yo revival, Springbank - either the 12 yo cask strength or 15 yo (not sure yet), and Glenlivet Nadurra 16 yo. The common theme running throughout is that I like craft products. I am also partial to peated whisky having enjoyed the Laphroaig QC last year, and I think if I go for peat again soon, it will be for the Ardbeg Uigeadal (albeit sherried). Kind regards G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Usually have scotch with my cigars, but of late have been getting into the rums, partcularly Matusalem Gran Reserva 15 Smooth rum with light sweet spice undertones Very enjoyable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think the Galileo is anything but reasonably priced - it's only 12Y old and costs almost double than the Uigeadail in my neck of the woods (and even more in other regions).
