Guest Thaddeusz Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I tried some Ardberg last night. Got it served neat in a nosing glass. Ow, i love that strong peaty aroma, it even has a phenol smell very similar to Laphroaig. Strong taste. Thanks for pointing out that whisky. I have yet to try the Laphroaig 15 y.o.

Guest leprechaun Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I'm really enjoying a Glenmorangie Nectar D'Or right now. It is very nice isn't it. The friend and I have almost finished the bottle. On another note, I'm very proud to see this post is still going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ~ism Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 i discovered last night that I have what may be a 30yo Glenlivet coming my way for my 30th birthday next month. i'm salivating at the prospect... not that I'll break the seal on it mind you until such time as is fit! Enjoyed a couple of Ardbeg 10yo last night.... perfect way to wash down some good chow. The spirit of life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a nose bag so I can sniff it in all day at work. Stunning, much less fierce and sharp than Laphroig but still right peaty and smokey.

Guest maus Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 shockerb - i have indeed tried the ardbeg... not bad at all. i actually came across a bottling called "port ellen cask strength" at one of my local shops here - the staff had no idea where it was from, but a little research uncovered that it was an ardbeg expression, although somewhat secretive for some reason. tongue-numbing, as most cask strength whiskies seem to be to me, but quite nice when cut with a bit of water. i have recently really been enjoying bowmore 12. i had purchased a bottle of the bowmore legend last summer, and thought it nothing special at all. it was my go-to for the 3rd glass of the night, when i was less concerned with flavour. the 12, however, is brilliant. to my taste, it's very very smooth, and has a nice mellow islay kick to it. a VERY good introduction for those that might not be ready for the full laphroaig experience. the bowmore 18 is nice as well, had a dram of that when i was in memphis at new years'.... but the 12 is rather affordable and really tasty. cheers, c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ~ism Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 just received about an hour ago... and about to delve into a celebratory glass, a 30th birthday present from the dear wife. what a star she is. almost too good to drink... though my cat Moog is clearly into a taste already.

Guest Great Maker ShaiHulud Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 if you don't have enough to spend on nice whisky, buy rum. Or bourbon. The weather is a lot different in Kentucky, so bourbons that age 2 or 3 years are kind of like whiskys that age for 10 or 12. Plus it's cheaper because it's not an import.

Guest leprechaun Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 So I've definitely become a fan of scotch since starting this thread. I picked this up in Delaware this summer - it was on sale at one of the enormous warehouse liquor stores they have there and I've found it to be very nice.

SR4 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 id love to buy a bottle of scotch for whenever the mood strikes....its hard to spend upwards of 50 bucks on liquor though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest leprechaun Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 id love to buy a bottle of scotch for whenever the mood strikes....its hard to spend upwards of 50 bucks on liquor though.. Yeah it does feel a bit painful. I haven't bought anything really expensive yet because I can't bear the thought of spending $60 or $70+ dollah. The one I just bought was on sale for around $35 (bought it in July so don't remember exactly how much is was). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kokoon Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Allright, since the beer-drinkers totally gayed up the "now drinking" thread, i want to bump this one instead. I have grown to LOVE Ardbeg recently. After emptying a bottle of ten year old, I told all my friends how much I enjoyed it. Later I got a bottle of Ardbeg Uigeadail and for my birthday I got a bottle of Ardbeg Corryvreckan and Ardbeg 10YO. So right now, I have 3 different Ardbegs to taste and compare. Heaven.
