bigfunkyg Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Glenrothes 1998. Only one I have tried from the distillery but I loved it. Great Speyside, with some spice and citrus. Not very peaty which my tastes seem to have gravitated to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer14 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Natural Cask Strength Rare Malt, distilled 1975, aged 21 years before bottling. Was heaven with a Monti 520. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion21 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 It completely fulfils all my Whiskey needs! On my buy list as well. $50 where I am. My favorite Whiskey/Scotches for 2013: OP 21 Glenlivet 21 Van Winkle 13 yr Old Kentucky XO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 On my buy list as well. $50 where I am. My favorite Whiskey/Scotches for 2013: OP 21 Glenlivet 21 Van Winkle 13 yr Old Kentucky XO Yep around £30 here, it ticks all the boxes for me. Even the name is good to speak out loud lol The 17 and 21 shoot up in price massively and are no where near as good imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangolf18 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Tough one...probably Laphrpoaig 18, Bruichladdich 10, and Lag 16 (better than Distillers Edition IMO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.T Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I really enjoyed my first introduction to Springbank. I tried the 15yr and liked it very much.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Festa Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Very hard for me to say the absolute best, so here's how I break it down:- 1.) Biggest surprise goes to... Australia for Hellyers Original Single Malt. Flanked by some uber premium Tasmanian distilleries, this one, for me, was better than Nant & Lark. 2.) Best whiskey without a cigar was...Ireland for Connemara, Peated, Cask Strength. Also known as the best smokey whiskey award. I only really get stuck into peated whiskies when a cigar is not available, just a thing I have. This one wins. It's weird. 3.) Award for the newest place in my drinks trolley goes to...Japan for ***** "From the Barrel." As Sengjc said, it's actually really cheap Down Under, in comparison to many other decent whiskies. It's also absolutely everywhere, And the box looks rad, and the bottle is cute. 4.) The whisky that had everything goes to...Islay for the Bruichladdich 10 yrs. Went to a wedding in Salcombe last year, where the bar at the hotel had everything. We drank every Bruichladdich there was, but not the 10. Now it's my favourite. I love a clear citrus note in whisky. Makes me happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintsmokealot Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 excuse my ignorance, where is that whisky from and it would be great if you could say a little more. Cheers Sorry it took so long to reply but it is a Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey produced in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky by Master Distiller Jim Rutledge. In the past year I got on a serious Bourbon kick (especially single barrels) and this has been one of my favorites. Single Barrel Bourbons IMO compare to Single Malt Scotches in terms of uniqueness and complexity. This one has a great full body weighs in at 50% ABV and yet is very smooth with a long finish.

Cigar Surgeon Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Glenrothes John Ramsay Edition. I was at a master class tasting and they were pouring 40yr+ bottles. Quite the experience. In terms of value for the money, best bottle imo was the Glenfiddich 15 Distiller's Edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subport Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Nothing fancy here, probably The Glenlivet 18 in the past year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mychetboy Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Lagavulin McPhail 1996 and it was incredible. BBQ in a glass with honey, lavender and super damp earth. 2nd best....every other whisky! I am not picky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolivr Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 For me: ***** Whisky from the Barrel takes the prize for affordability, availability and appeal. Next up and very close: Glendronach the Parliament 21 Year Old. Thanks for voting for these. I recently picked up a bottle of the ***** from the barrel and agree it is outstanding!

Phillys Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 aberlour a'bunadh And being a fan of the Macallan 12, loved the 15 yr that I tried for the first time last year Big disappointment of the year (again, I keep trying it every year) Glenfiddich 30 yr, had better whisky with half the years and half the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeklystogie Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Glendronach 15 was pretty excellent for me, took a chance on it and loved it. It's a sherry cask if you're into those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwsaw63 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Prefer cognac to whisky, so for that reason I love the Glenmorangie Signet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM-US Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Glendronach 15 is excellent scotch. I just got into Glenfarclas as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoreanCowboy Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Laphroaig 17 year old (1996) Old Malt Cask. Was like drinking velvet. It was incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM-US Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I forgot. Laphroaig 15 is the best whiskey I had in 2013. I would say George T. Stagg, William Larue Weller, Van Winkle 10 and Glendronach 15 were notable as well. Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
