winelover Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Mine is a toss-up between Springbank 12 yo cask strength and Bruichladdich Bere Barley 2006. The laddie ever so slightly edges it for me. Enticing nose, gorgeous appetising cerealy mouthful and very soft and fresh on the palette with a 10 to 15 second finish that reverberates long after . What was yours and why?
Louich Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Oban distliers edition, there is a citrus zest finish I have never tasted in anyother dram. Tha Bruichladdich Bere Barley 07 of the Dunlossit farm for the cereal and salty taste profile and last but not least an Old malt cask of Laphroaig 12 yro bottle at 50% ( 387bottles only) simply because it was a perfectly balanced experience. The classic the was.not discovered this year is the Talisker 18 yrs. If only it was not that rare and difficult to find....

CaptainQuintero Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Glengoyne 10, you can drink it all day it's so smooth. Better than the 17 and 21 every day of the week.

Louich Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Never tried that one. Guess I'll put it on 'the list'.
CaptainQuintero Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Ohhh....good call! Forgot about this. Literally like drinking warming water. The CS is incredible as well. It completely fulfils all my Whiskey needs!

ChanceSchmerr Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Springbank Local barley at Victoria Whisky Festival. Nothing like it anywhere!

str8dog Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Ardbeg Iggy. A finish that must've lasted 15 minutes.
orangedog Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Balvenie Tun 1401 batch 3 - very fun stuff... I'm sold on the cask strength scotches in general

sengjc Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 For me: ***** Whisky from the Barrel takes the prize for affordability, availability and appeal. Next up and very close: Glendronach the Parliament 21 Year Old.

assassin Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Old Pultney 21, smooth and silky mouth feel non chill filtered so retains the "ggodies" the filtering takes out,
Surucipe Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Balvenie Portwood 21 and Ardbeg 10, both very multilayered but in a very different way.
winelover Posted January 21, 2014 Author Posted January 21, 2014 Great and v interesting to read all the replies. I had forgotten to add the reasons why i liked the Bruichladdich Bere Barley 2006 best, which I have now done, having edited my first post above. Keep them coming!
