sammynb 2934 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) Today's brought a bit of bad news, actually the world is fucked and life is a cunt, so I'm pouring myself my third Glenlivet this afternoon and I have to say there is nothing like a 10 year old Aberlour. Got a preference? Edited August 5, 2008 by sammynb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Of the widely available stuff, probably The Macallan. Those two are very nice too though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 71 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 10 yr old Talisker. 5 yr old Isle of Jura. Are two I can honestly say I've had in the last couple of years and liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14136 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Seriously though, I do like a wee dram from time to time, but I'm no expert. There's a place back in Mainz called Kamin that has a roaring fireplace in the middle of the room, a list of whiskies as long as your arm and a gnarled old proprietor who'll happily talk you through them all. Lovely stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 You tried The Macallan Sammy? Bit like Aberlour but nicer imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 2934 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 You tried The Macallan Sammy? Bit like Aberlour but nicer imo. I haven't Alex but I will when I get a chance. To be honest I'm not a fan of the Glenlivet but I still have half a litre left, the Aberlour is unopened and I was more interested in the effect than the taste. I've also got to work my way through a bottle of Glenfiddich before I can go Macallan'ning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Slightly dry on the finish for my liking. Nice stuff though. I've got a bottle of Cragganmore on the go at the minute (not literally btw). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMurray 0 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I know what you mean, but it's so drinkable, doesn't have that harsh hotness some lesser whiskeys do. Or maybe it's just because I'm always sloshed when I get one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also one of the few independent distilleries and it's made in the traditional way, i.e. non-chill filtered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
