sengjc Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Redbreast 12 Year Old. Some after dinner rest and relaxation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sengjc Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 The last of the Old Weller Antique 107. A spicy bourbon to go with a spicy cigar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sengjc Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 A well aged Arturo Fuente Hemingway Signature from the stockpile. These just seem to get better and better developing a suave mellowness while retaining all the flavour intensity (Sean Connery?). Paired with the last of the Redbreast 12 Year Old.

dangolf18 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Solid stuff but not mind blowing. I think I prefer the 12. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicycorona Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 It's fallen since it's introduction to the mass produced line. But would say different than the 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesNYC Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Solid stuff but not mind blowing. I think I prefer the 12. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I've been told by a Brand Ambassador that they are aged in casks from Cuba, and that they call it "Caribbean" to get around the embargo. One of my favorite distilleries, but not my favorite expression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sengjc Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 A dollop of Smooth Ambler Old Scout 7 Year Old Rye Whiskey. Sweet nose on this one with freshly varnished wood, a very bourbony rye. Starts smooth and finishes long. Quite a bit of alcoholic heat and some nasal burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surucipe Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Longrow Peated - Why they call this peated is beyond me, no peat and no smoke at all in my opinion. Disappointing dram, hopefully just a dud bottle. Added some Lagavulin 12yo to it - much better! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesNYC Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 My partner's son, who works for us, just got engaged. Glen Grant is one of his favorite distilleries, so I went to my favorite whisky store in Manhattan (Park Avenue Liquors) and picked up a nice bottle. I'm keeping this at the office- I told him we will drink from it whenever he wants until he is married (looks like September) and I'll buy replacements as necessary. Nice dram, familiar Glen Grant flavor profile, not as Sherried as some others I've had, which you can tell from the lighter color (aged 17 years one would think it would be darker). Slightly astringent, hints of vanilla, not too strong (43%), a drop of water didn't really make that much difference in the flavors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 They look similar but one of these below is a Ron Zacapa Centenario Solera 23 glass of rum and the other is a humble Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 glass of Tennessee whiskey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sengjc Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Some Benriach Solstice 2nd Edition - a heavily peated 17 Year Old Speysider that was finished in port casks. A rather meaty, peaty malt that has balanced sweetness and a touch of salt. Despite being described as being heavily peated, it is quite tame. I can imagine those accustomed to the peaty Islay style will find this lacking in intensity, even bland and a little mild. Finishes a little short but with a peaty, mineral lull that is quite pleasant. An easy drinking malt that can probably be paired with a hearty chargrilled steak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
