Any scotch lovers out there?

Heading to Scotland 1st week of May. Planning to go to the Dalwhinnie Distillery since it's a 10 minute walk up the road from the train station. Looked at others, but they're really hard to reach without driving or taking a ferry.

Blair Athol Distillery in Pitlochry.

Simply amazing place, and their scotch doesn't have a strong peat flavour, which is how I like it.
 
This 16 yr old was great last weekend at GB.Nice smokey flavour,very smooth.

Just finished off my bottle of Lagavulin out on the deck. Moved inside, and have changed it up a bit.

Just cracked a fresh bottle of Blanton's Single Cask. Waiting to see what turns up Tuesday then I'll go from there. The wee (200ml) bottles of Lagavulin are on sale for $24.95.
 
I occcasionally nip on 12 YO Glenfiddich and once treated myself to a 15 YO version of the same. I couldn't tell the difference so wonder about the diminishing return factor.
 
your absolutly right , I'm guessing those that can tell 12 from 15 would have a very refined palate. Make the jump to 20-25yrs and you see a big change, biggest is the prices.......

I'm happy whiskey became a bit more popular, the selection in the LCBO is actually pretty good if you live near a decent store.
 
Oban or nothing. Seriously, I don't think I'm much of a scotch drinker but I love Oban.
 
Nothing better than sitting in your fav comfy chair in the man cave with a glass of single malt Scotch to help dismiss those long/hard work days or after a nice summers night ride. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Those of you putting ice in your Scotch are ruining a good thing imo, just a drop or two of water is all that is needed.

www.ForPeatSake.com is great for reviews

On my ToDo list is a ride to north of Kingston where there is a spring with really good tasting water. Bring home a bucket full of the stuff and enjoy a relaxing bit of the good stuff with it.
 
A bottle of Dalwhinnie and a few scotch rocks to keep it cool.

There goes the holidays.
 
Received a bottle of Glenfiddich "Cask of Dreams" Limited Edition from my brother for Christmas, not a bad decision on his behalf, that is all. lol.
 
White & Mackays replication of Mackinleys scotch that Shackleton left under the ice 100 yrs ago is really hard top get hold of, they made a lot of it, and the master blender claims it tastes the same. A friend got a dram at a whiskey club in NY and said it was unremarkable , but the nostalgia and anybody familiar with Shackleton story would get a kick out of it was worth it.

That box wouldn't smell bad, there's no composting at -45.

Thats the guy!
The photographer on that trip was a raging alcoholic, they probably buried the stuff to keep him out. Shackleton was an *** and a complete horndog in real life, but emerged from history as a genious leader. He lost nobody on that expedition, but should have lost everybody. Navigating the southern ocean and finding a remote whaling station and bringing back help after 600 miles in an open boat (think needle in haystack), he should have been shot for the mismanagemnet of the expedition but turning disaster into a hero story made him a legend.
