Never tried the Triple Oak but the Double Oak was average at best.

Is it the 12 YO Double Cask at 43% or the 40%?

Take the cash over either. See if you can get the 15yr or 18yr. insteadThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Highlander has 15% off all regular priced scotch for Robbie Burns day. Picked up some Benromach 10yr 100 Proof for about $95 from the Aspen location - which is an absolute steal for how good it is.

Bowmore 12 with dark orange chocolate for me tonight. One of my favorite combos. Started with a Aberfeldy 18 first which I picked up on sale. First time having it and not sure yet if I'd buy it again.

Grab a Bowmore 18 if you get the chance. It is such a step up over the 12 or 15 and not insanely priced. You will love it!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Haven’t had the 18 but about halfway or 3/5 of the way, it became a chore for me to finish the Bowmore 15. Almost posted it in here to see anyone wanted to trade something for it haha. I know I didn’t have to finish it but I wanted to, so I could open something new.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I'll try the 18. I'm not a fan of the 15 at all.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Just shovelled a bunch of snow. Time to crack this open as a reward.

I enjoyed some of that exact same bottle last night! Also cracked open the Glengoyne 25 among others. We organized a 10 person poker tournament where all our buy ins went to buying and playing for scotch. We each had a bounty bottle and then there was a first, second and third place bottle. Being the good scotch guys we are, every bottle was cracked and sampled by all players involved! I went home with 3... The Glengoyne 25, Oban Bay Reserve game of thrones special edition (I don't usually go for gimmicks but I must admit this is a delicious bottle!) and a Hunter Laing Fettercairn 13. Was a great night!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show QuoteJust shovelled a bunch of snow. Time to crack this open as a reward.

Made me pull out and assess my current collection. Not a single unopened bottle! Time to have some friends over to drain the closer to empty bottles to make some more room!

Nice spread. What did you think of the Glengoyne CS? I've been on a high proof, sherried tip lately. Gonna open the Macallan Classic Cut 2018 next, I think.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show QuoteI enjoyed some of that exact same bottle last night!

Really wanna try the Glengoyne 25. It's on my short list of bottles to buy, along with the Bunnahabhain 25 but I just can't bring myself to spend in the $400 range on a single bottle just yet.
I have a lot of unopened bottles still (probably half of what I own) but slowly working my way to them.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I enjoyed it quite a bit! It was much softer and chewy (if that makes sense) than I was expecting being a cask strength.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
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!Really wanna try the Glengoyne 25.

Uhhhh, thanks?? Lol!I'll bring the Johnnie Walker Red or Dewar's White Label.

@tirebob have you tried any Old Pulteney's other then the 12 I see there? I've bought that bottle a few times and enjoy it quite a bit. I'm wondering if the 17 or 21 is worth it.
Forum Sponsor
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!
