Some catching up on some tastings and purchases

Very briny and smokey

Very
Very good but quite $$$, not worth it perhaps?


Lovely, toasted barrel finished


Huge fan of the 12 and this cask strength doesn't disappoint


Meh, wouldn't buy it

 

[JD3000]

Great value buy


Same here


Haven't opened this yet but I can't speak highly enough about their bottles

Soooooo good, rich barrel finishing


This 4 year is amazing!


Have a sample of the Willett 8 to try sometime too


Another high value pick, Barton 1792 BiB for Kirkland

Hands down the best cask strength rye I've had, SMWS single barrel pick

View attachment 7769121 year Rattray's batch

View attachment 77692classic smokey but sweet and complex

Both are good but probably overrated/overhyped and over priced IMO

Yep. Good, but expensive fancy bottles. Pot Still is my Coke mixer favorite. That little bite aftertaste it adds is perfect.

Nice and the price is right, sweet with a touch of smokey peat

Buddy said he had a McKenna for me... not SiB but he thought it was funny. $13


Couple of peat bombs, the Ardbeg is crazy

You make me green with envy. Speaking of single malt...had a very stressful day...soooo!

The 17 is amazing but pricey

They release so many of them all over the place that we'll never try all varieties. That said, all the ones that I've tried have been an improved on the regular cask strength which is a high value buy in its own right

Killer cask-ish strength rye

I'm sure it is. It is obvious your city pays much better than mine. I have to save lunch money for the cheaper selections and can only splurge occasionally.

Yeah, two income family and my side work keeps me in drink money.
Plus not everything I post is mine, have a few friends with notable collections as well
