Voltron Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 I guessed Oogie for no. 2 but didn't know where to go with "Softly." 1
Aura Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 But, of course. Damn, but don't I wish I were there to share these two exalted smoke monsters with you. I do loves me some peat. On the nose,in the mouth, and for the long, glorious finish. Thanks for the tasting notes, Bryan, and Cheers, all. Soon, my friend. Soon we will imbibe! I guessed Oogie for no. 2 but didn't know where to go with "Softly." The guys over at TalkBeer have started doing immediate impressions where you're limited to exactly four words. So I need to say that Lagavulin was peaty... but softer than Laphroaig and Ardbeg.
Aura Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 Also something interesting I noticed - Lagavulin 16 is very similar to the nose on Longrow 18. Longrow's taste is a bit more complex and interesting, but for the money [it costs more than double in my area], Lagavulin still has a solid amount of value. Really smells noice.
guzziguy Posted February 5, 2015 Report Posted February 5, 2015 Care package from Jacob. Muchos thanks! 1
Aura Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 Trying to work my inner-Mikey... been building this stash for a while and had a moment for a pic. 6
n_maher Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 ^^ Jebus... Me: on Saturday my friend's and I visited a distillery in Denver. It was good. I'd encourage all of you to track down a bottle of Stranahan's. It should be available in most major markets although they had to pull distribution back somewhat recently but have plans in the works to support nationwide in the next few years. 1
Augsburger Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 Trying to work my inner-Mikey... been building this stash for a while and had a moment for a pic. For the bachelor party? 1
Aura Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 For the bachelor party? Come to think of it, I never discussed such post-dated shenanigans with any of the crew....
shellylh Posted February 9, 2015 Author Report Posted February 9, 2015 Trying to work my inner-Mikey... been building this stash for a while and had a moment for a pic. WOW! 2
luvdunhill Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 You do realize that's four roses, right? That's like Mikey stockpiling Macallan 10, ain't it?
shellylh Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Posted February 10, 2015 Those are the limited editions though which are quite difficult to find.
Aura Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 You do realize that's four roses, right? That's like Mikey stockpiling Macallan 10, ain't it? Lol. Those are the limited editions though which are quite difficult to find. Aye. In particular that 2010 Single Barrel LE (the 100th Anny).

Hanging's too good for them, amirite? https://www.yahoo.com/food/workers-busted-for-allegedly-stealing-barrels-of-117006802221.html Franklin County Commonwealth’s Attorney Larry Cleveland said last week the case involves “more than I could imagine one person drinking in a lifetime.” : Mikey's ears prick up : Edited April 22, 2015 by Hopstretch 2
manaox2 Posted June 16, 2015 Report Posted June 16, 2015 Anyone have any thoughts on Ardbeg Alligator?
mikeymad Posted June 16, 2015 Report Posted June 16, 2015 Anyone have any thoughts on Ardbeg Alligator? My thoughts pretty much match fellow Plowdster Serge -- http://www.whiskyfun.com/archiveseptember11-2.html#200911 Also has been referred to as soulless = 'good' flavor profile - but manufactured. Don't get me wrong I would drink if given. But Spending $100+ on a bottle is not worth my cash money (probably a lot more now on the secondary market) (I hate discourage any malt purchase) Cheers.... 1
Aura Posted October 28, 2015 Report Posted October 28, 2015 Head's up @mikeymad and @Voltron and anyone who likes Campbeltown spirits - Masterofmalt just listed the first single cask Kilkerran I've ever seen. It's a weird barrel (Calvados) but the price is seriously good and if they release more of these in sherry or bourbon.... could be awesome. I really like Al's Kilkerrans he had me try in January. 1
Cee Tee Posted October 28, 2015 Report Posted October 28, 2015 ^Wow, that scotch has a good list of allergens disclosed. Would love to know the "crustacean" content!
Aura Posted October 28, 2015 Report Posted October 28, 2015 Because Mikey got some? If I see more, I will post. (I bet shop.whiskybase gets it)
manaox2 Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 Midwinter Night's Dram sounds pretty fantastic. Also, very difficult to obtain. 5
MexicanDragon Posted November 1, 2015 Report Posted November 1, 2015 1) Where the fuck are you?2) Where was the invite?**BRENT**
