Can you pour it into my mouth like that but from 6ft away?

[Eride]

Next time we do a socially distanced lunch I’ll bring it and tape it to a hockey stick, easy peasy.

Picked these up today.

Wait a minute. Those aren’t Scotch!

Only had a small sip about a week ago but was hoping it was slightly richer and thicker (but that could change down the bottle) but lots of sherry, spiciness, some maltiness, and slightly bitter on the end.

Cracked and put a pretty good dent in this one tonight, really sweet, missing a bit of the punch on the finish that I'm used to from a great Ardbeg. It's very drinkable but I was left wanting something more... Probably not worth the steep price point, but if you get a chance for a sip give it a go!

^ Always wanted to try an Ard. Im still financially recovering ftom the balvenie 21 though. What do you recommend for a lower price with the ardies?

[Eride]

Start with the 10, it’s arguably one of the best entry level bottles on the market, affordable and a great introduction to the brand, it’s delicious!

Wow nice pick up!!! I stared at the last bottle at WoW for a good 15 mins but couldn't pull the trigger at $400. Still have some slight regret about that to this day.

Let me take this off your hands, so you don't have to go through the disappointment any longer.

Probably my favorite of the experimental series, nice little drop!

I'm into the Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban right now, I love Glenmorangie so I'm openly biased but you can find this for $70 or so right now, it's fantastic!

When did they change it? The Quinta Ruban in my cupboard is a 12 year, not a 14 year.

2019, I believe. I could be wrong but it's still only two years in the ruby port cask, like the 12 YO was.

I was confused when I saw the Quinta Ruban picture, I was thinking why is the label green instead of black.

Anyone else notice a big price increase with lagavulin 16?

[roopi]

Used to be about $75 at superstore and now it is $105ish I believe. Costco is similar

It was "on sale" at Wine and Beyond for $75 a month ago.

I think most scotches are just alot more expensive in general now.. maybe it's the exchange rate of whatever. Even a Laphroaig Quartercask is >$70 now and Oban 14 is >$110.
