I wasn't mentioning it as an interest in buying the bottle especially when I know nothing about whiskey but I am aware of the cost.

All good. When my friend mentioned that it was one of the best they ever had, I went online to see how much it would run me thinking that I would spend 150-200 tips and when I saw the cost I told myself that I need to start with something a lot cheaper haha. Any recommendations on where to begin?

I’m a huge fan of Macallan 15 & Hibiki 17. I have one last bottle of Hibiki 17 but I’m actually looking to sell rather than drink lol.

I usually circle back to my favorite "Brown Water" Crown Royal. Would anyone offer any suggestions that does not stray too far from my favorite as I enjoy trying new selections?

Try Buffalo Trace - has a little more bight than Crown, but still very smooth and very reasonably priced.

WRT ice, I just bought these molds and they arrive tomorrow.

BNA/LION · 2 January 2018, 03:54 AM

Got this at Bed Bath & Beyond. I have yet to try it out but I'm hopeful it will work well.

cm10005 · 2 January 2018, 08:20 AM

I have the ice molds they work well

BNA/LION · 6 January 2018, 11:31 AM

Share your choice of drink (bourbon, scotch, irish, japanese, rye etc.) and maybe a description of how it tastes to you. Enable someone to go out and try it too!

I'll start.

My go to is Lagavulin 16, single malt scotch. The peaty aroma got me at first whiff. I remember thinking this smelt like smoked salmon! It's subtly sweet and slightly spicy. Perfect pre or post meal. Very different to other scotch whiskies. Price-wise, a 750ml bottle can be picked up for about $50-$70 at your local Costco. Not something that will break the bank for sure; try it if you haven't!

Back in 2001 I bought a bottle of this to mark the end of 2000. its been laying in a wine rack ever since.... errrrm I don't drink whiskey

mores the point what the heck do I do with it?

Not to be "That guy" but actually if you are storing whiskey long term it should more often than not be stood up. 90-120 proof destroys corks and cause premature air seepage and leaks. Kind of the opposite of wine storage.

Not my bottle but a fellow collector just scored this prized jewel...

spoilsofwar01 · 16 February 2018, 09:11 PM

Her she is and up for grabs .......

The Islay representative in the 'Classic Malts' series is a deep, dry and exceptionally peaty bruiser. Probably the most pungent of all Islay malts, Lagavulin is not for the faint-hearted but inspires fanatical devotion in its many followers.

if you like whiskey of course

really choice foursome!!

Big fan of Japanese Whiskey's they have great balance and caramel notes, stylistically it's more similar to Irish whiskey than Scotch but that just personal opinion.
