Lotusguy Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 This... the Laphroaig tasted watered down - I'll take the regular 10 any day.
JohnS Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 ***** Whisky From The Barrel....nice recommendation for a Japanese Whisky. I'll keep it mind for next time! https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_761617/*****-from-the-barrel-japanese-whisky-500ml
Lotusguy Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 It's outstanding! Too bad it's only available in travel retail (at least I have not found any source in US)

sengjc Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Knob Creek Small Batch Straight Rye Whiskey. Loving this rye at the moment: light, fruity, herbaceous, peppery, subtle and elegantly smooth. The heavy oak that is usually associated with American style whiskey is deftly controlled, maintaining a mild oaky tanginess. A long finish ensues that has a lull of barley sweetness. Eminently drinkable despite the 100 proof with a viscous mouthfeel. Ever since I started dabbling in rye, this has been the profile that I most enjoyed. A whisky drinker's whiskey and a fitting introduction to American rye. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
Guest rob Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Benromach 10 Cask Strength. It's beautiful. I stocked up on this batch for fear of future bottlings not being as good.
srbbones Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I just bought 4 bottles of Johnnie Walker Green from an online retailer . Not delivered yet, but I found it odd. Especially at the price I paid, which was the typical retail price prior to discontinuation . This is a credible retailer who I have used before. Has anyone any explanation for this? How can this be? If so inclined, feel free to pm me for retailer info 1

If so inclined, feel free to pm me for retailer info No explanation other than the fact you should be ready to celebrate when they arrive. Or, the retailer is an intermediary who uses a supplier and the stock listing may be incorrect. Anyway, PM sent.
JohnS Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I had a Bacardi 8 with coke tonight and I must say...not bad! 1
Surucipe Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 At a Superbowl party we had a few. I also just bought a bottle of Green Spot but didn't open it yet. What did you think of it?
free85 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 At a Superbowl party we had a few. How was the green spot? I'm a fan of Redbreast and wouldn't mind finding other single pot still Irish whiskeys I like.

fokker4me Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Hooker's House Zinfandel finished rye, and HWA Mid Winter Nights Dram. Im in a rye mood. 1
fokker4me Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Did some tasting at Jack Rose in Washington DC. Rittenhouse 21 year rye, WR Masters Collection Sweet Mash, Westward American Single Malt, and Willet 9yr Bourbon "Caught Stealing".
celtmick1984 Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Finished the last of my 2013 Thomas H. Handy Sazerac last night . . . sad to see it go, but enjoyed it all the way. 1
Surucipe Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Finished off my bottle of Balcones Baby Blue. Very different from anything else I’ve tasted before, a bit of a shock at first (both on the nose and palette) but it certainly grew on me and now I actually like it a lot. It benefits from a bit of time in the glass to bring out the underlying aromas and tastes.
sengjc Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Having my first Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Release #5 from a fresh bottle. Wow...just wow...it smells like I just spilt some perfume...Old Spice? The sweet aroma lingers like when you approach a winery during harvest season. This is so smooth I can't believe it is 67.4%. Glides like silk and has an oily texture. Essence of oak but deftly balanced and so very refined. The finish is remarkably long and lingering. Add a few drops of water and it opens up to reveal a spicier livelier profile. 2
