I enjoyed it quite a bit! It was much softer and chewy (if that makes sense) than I was expecting being a cask strength.


Just do it! It isn't a bottle that you just drink away at, but instead it is a special occasion or hanging with good friends who can appreciate a good whisky type of drink. It will last you a long time!

Uhhhh, thanks?? Lol!

Hey, no such thing as bad whisky. Just better whisky!

Gonna wait until Liquor Depot has another 25% off sale, even if I have to wait all year. Then, I'll look into getting either one of the Glengoyne or Bunnahabhain 25 YOs.

I have the 21 and the one in the poker game pic was a 17. Both are excellent!! Good luck finding a 21 now as it is discontinued. If you can lay your hands on one I would snag it in a heartbeat!

I believe the 17 YO is also discontinued. I've been trying to hunt it down for a while now to no avail. I found the 12 YO kinda boring, especially the 40% ABV that we get here. Curious how the extra 3% the US gets changes the juice.

Edit: tonight’s drink.

The 17yo Old Pulteney came from Willow Park I believe. Either there or Wine and Beyond. I will ask my buddy who brought it if you like...

I have the Glenfarclas 21 but have no tried the 17 yet. I tend to like all their offerings though so I imagine it would be nice!

Sure, if you don’t mind.

To be honest, you can probably skip the 17. Unless you’re really curious. Look for the 15, if you haven’t had it, instead.

Opened the Glenfarclas 18 couple days ago. It's quite nice.

Anyway, been sipping on this the last few times:

My co-worker wanted to sell his complete set of Game of Thrones Scotch. Anyone know someone was/is looking?

I have the Oban Bay bottle and it is really quite delicious which surprised me. I am not usually one to go for the gimmicks but it is very nice! I won it in a poker game or I probably would never have bought it otherwise. Glad I did!

It is, but I somehow got it from a non-travel retailer in Germany, at half the cost of Duty Free price...

I like this one a lot. I get a lot of bourbon on the nose and taste.

Are the Duty free scotches a good deal ??

I have been travelling through Houston quite a bit lately and wonder if with the exchange, if the scotches available are a good deal.

The ones I see there do not have a canadian equivalent...ie...I cant find it online at an AB liquor store for comparison.

A quick example from my last trip was an 18 Year Glenfiddich "Small Batch Reserve" for 70.00 US.

Thoughts ??
