    Very neat bottle, you said it was pretty unique Ken.... What did you get from it?
    I'm bad at flavors and have a worse memory so I can't really say...on the other hand you may have given me a good reason to have some more tonight and try to figure it out. ;D

    Glad to see this thread is taking off and as long as we can keep that Irish guy from posting in the other one maybe this will all work out. ;-). Just kidding Brett, I heart you man!
    I've been a guilty party in that thread as well. But hell, it was bourbon season and that's what I got! LOL

    Unless I'm at a lounge buying one or two so I can smoke inside during winter I don't buy cigars anymore but by the box. It's a lot easier to drop $50-70 once in a while on a bottle than dropping $200-300/box on cigars which is one of the bigger reasons I've been doing that lately. Plus what D said, this the Bourbon Season :)

    Yeah I hear ya Brian, I love and hate seasonal stuff for that very reason. It's neat having so much special stuff come out this time of year but when you find something you love only to learn too bad wait another year to have it kinda sucks.

    I tried a flight of Glenlivet 12, Glenmorangie, Laphraoig 10, and Talisker. Liked the Glenmorangie the most. Enjoyed the Smokey, salty Laphraoig and Talisker but dont know if I want a bottle. I picked the ardbeg on a whim. image

    Very nice Gray, I like the Glenmorangie a lot myself. I get a lot more caramel and floral notes from it than most of the other classic Malts. If you like the "lighter" single malt scotches I'd point you towards Macallan 12 year, for my palate it was the lightest and "fruitiest" of the group, really really like it. Should pick up a bottle of it one of these days in fact lol...

    I tried and failed. It's just too complex for me to pick apart. Definitely a bite, definitely something along the lines of butterscotch with a buttery mouthfeel, brown sugar, some fruit that's almost citrus that I'm tempted to call pear, and then the usual whiskey backbone, I'm bad at wood/leather type flavors but of course they're there.

    No worries and sounds great Ken, that is definitely one of love to try and likely snag a bottle of. I take it however that they are small enough that they're mostly local distribution?

    Lol like my approval means jack diddly hahahaha. However I will say that it was Jameson and Jack Daniels that made me love whiskey in the first place years ago, really loved Jameson and honestly I still really really enjoy it straight and on the rocks. Hope you're having something good tonight Rudy! :)

    Thanks for the suggestions brett! I almost tried the Macallan. I will have to get another flight sometime. To me the Glenmorangie was right in the middle. A little more full and more caramel and citrus than the Glenlivet. Then I tasted the laphroaig and talisker for ab 3 hours after i drank them, lol!

    The last 6 months i have kind of gone off the deep end with buying bourbon. All these were bought in last 6 months except angels envy and elijah craig 12yr. Birthday Bourbon was a gift from a great brother.

    So which ones your favorite out of those Justin? I'm looking for something with caramel, maple, pecan notes. I'm not looking to get that infused stuff either.

    They're in Michigan, I think down toward Chicago. But if you can't find it and want to, let me know.

    No problem, and yeah those others are much heavier peat and the finish sticks with you for a while. My go to single malt is Craggenmore 12 year.

    This thread makes me want to be an alcoholic again... I stick to one bottle of bourron, maybe two, per 3-6 months. Current bottle is Buffalo Trace =) Sure wish I could find Rip for retail at Bevmo like the lucky ones.
