Dark Cove >>> Laga 8, but the Laga 8 is pretty awesome. I poured that last night.

Love Laga 8, actually more than the 16. Funny how the price between the two isnt that far off.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I’m not sure of the peat profile of the Dark Cove but I found I like the Lag 8 style a lot more than the Ardbeg 10, Laphroaig QC, Compass Box Peat Monster, and Coal Ila 12.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Drinking it now, tastes like good old glendronach to me... but yeah nothing I’d rave about

Bourbon vs Sherry maturation.
My brother is a big Scotch fan, but I decided to get him some JD Sinatra select - I have sampled a variety of scotch/whiskies (low to high range) and this is definitely in the top 5.
Trying this tonight, quite delicious. Don’t normally drink blended whisky but this one is easy to enjoy.
^Nice line-up in the background there too. I'm keen to try that Highland Park 21 (although I'd like to fly to the Orkneys to try it).
Love the XR21 and the price is quite reasonable too. Rumor is that it contains Port Ellen in the blend, but this could be about the older edition.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Thanks, but running out of room to display my collection, need to finish the bad ones faster to make room for new ones. I haven't opened the Highland Park 21, not sure when I will but soon I'm sure.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
They say there's whisky from a distillery that no long exist... sounds rare haha and for the price it's good value I think. Might grab a few more.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Blended scotches can surprise sometimes. For example, Johnnie Walker Swing with a few drops of water to open it up is sublime. It can be hard to find on shelves though. I’m definitely picking up another bottle next time I see it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Enjoying this tonight.
Bought my brother a bottle of the Swing. Very tasty. I'm a huge fan of blends and things on the cheaper end of the "decent" spirits.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Was expecting a heavier punch of sherry
You want Sherry to punch you in the urethra, try the newer Costco one that's expensive. I'd have to look it up, but it's nothing like their previous premium Scotch. It's finished in sherry casks and... Zing!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I got a few heavily sherried expressions. I was just expecting more from this one.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I can pick-up the Glendronach 12 at the supermarket here for 44 Euros so it's been my "go-to" but I'd like to find some other good sub-$100 sherried whiskys.
Aberlour A'bunadh if sherry is what you are after.
