Longcity, nice collection! most of them I've never even heard of before. There's just so many choices out there and not enough space to store haha.


Here's my measly collection.

Nice buys! The only one of those I currently have is the Arran 18. It is a very nice bottle. I know how you feel about the budget. I am up somewhere over 40 bottles these days in my collection. My cabinet is full to the brim, to and three deep. I need a new one!

That is a healthy start man! I have all of the first 6 bottles from the left. My favourite of those there is the Lag 16 but they are all respectable.

Thanks Bob, I have much to learn still. First bottle of the Lag 16 and is one of the most complex taste I've had and I'm still trying to figure it out.

I think the collection will only get bigger, may need to invest in a large cabinet haha.

Wow Long, you've been holding out on me.

[coldmind]

Well said and thanks for the advice Bob! Most of the Scotch that I have drank is below 50%. The ones that I drink at higher proof is usually from friends and at tasting events. I will start drinking my whiskies with adding water. This will not only helps with the whisky tasting itself but also stretch my money further on each bottle... it means I can drink each bottle longer

That Highland Park 21 is no joke! That one probably gets my vote, then laga 16 right behind.

Here's my Bruichladdich and Japanese whisky wall (well the ones that would fit the shelves anyway). Everything else unfortunately has to stay hidden inside the cabinet..

Their in store prices (main store) is actually the same as their online prices now, which is great. I was just there over lunch to pick up my yet another bottle of Flaming Hearts lol.

I'm going to see what kind of damage I'm going to end up doing this Sat the LD 25% off sales before I buy the 9.1 at zyn.

Great collection!!

All these pics have inspired me to crack open this Tulli tonight! I will report back. The nose is crazy full of ripe fruits!

HP 21 not yet opened. I want to gain more experience with the others before taking this on. Haha.

RX, your collection is insane if that’s only your Jap collection. That’s crazy...

It seems you guys mostly prefer peat/smoky whiskey? Anyone actually prefers non-peat/smoke? What is your top choice for each?

Highlands guy over here <———-

Tomatin/glendronach/glenfarclas/balvenie/pretty much anything from japan

Hard to pick just one, what’s interesting though is when you go to some of these tastings and try the whole line from a distiller there always seems to be a mid range bottle that I enjoy more than the flagship... some times those more expensive ones are just way over done, usually anything first fill sherry I find can be too much, just not balanced. The Japanese stuff is always super well balanced though, i’ve really been reaching for them more often than the scotch lately
