Will give the Tamdhu a try, Have a bottle of the Glendronach CS but have not opened it yet. I do like the Aberlour A’bunadh 1

Mluminos Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Sexton right now, wanted to try something Irish and the bottle looked nice. Usually I prefer smokey but there's a unique quality about this whiskey that is interesting. The whiskey itself is just okay. The burn on the whiskey is.. backwards. It starts incredibly smooth and the burn grows rather than whiskey that burns first and then you get the flavors. Its a bit sweet for my liking but palatable enough I'm not about to waste it. If anyone knows about a cheap and smoke whiskey ~20-30ish a bottle lemme know.

It is so well done, so glad this is going to be a part of their regular line up. Many thanks @Çnote for helping me with this one! Looks right up my alley, will hunt for a bottle, thank you
soonerwings Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 I didn’t take any pictures, but last night’s bourbon was Woodford Double Oaked. I paired it with a RASS and experienced a solid hour of Nirvana (the state of mind, not the band).Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Be interested to know if it stayed as complex and delicate as when young. Tried the 2010 at the winery over lunch in that year and really enjoyed it. Although my fav was Pierro Chardy.

Yes, they are 2015. Did read about 2015 being a great year for the Bordeaux region and good to know about the Winery- Thanks again. Have been getting some 2013 Napa valley wines as well as I heard that was a great year there.

Lotusguy Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 WOW! I paid $73 a bottle- great pickup!!Very hard to beat Costco alcohol prices in US... 1

MA has some of the lowest prices on liquor in world. My Costco is tied with Scottsdale, AZ as the largest liquor selling Costco yet is only like 10% the size of the AZ's liquor section. 1
