Is there anywhere I can still get a bottle of this Hanyu Final Vintage 2000 stuff? I love Japanese whisky and fancy it since it won the best of the year. Also picked my dad up a bottle of Ballantine's 17 Year Old for Christmas since it's been doing so well in books and that.

Can anyone tell me anything about this bottle I just found? My dreams of drinking whiskey older than me is coming true.

duckstab posted:A whisky of that age with such a high ABV is usually a bit concerning, it means either poor wood or (much less likely) unusual maturation conditions such as very warm ambient temperatures. Longmorn would likely have been filling at 'still strength' in that era so at most it's come down 10-15%, which isn't a good sign. Soooooo, it won't taste nice?

Does anyone have any recommendations for me? Current go to is Oban 14. Find it has a lot going on but still very smooth. Only a small peat flavour to me with a lot of fruit and a bit of salt. Lovely stuff. Not expensive. Love sherry casked stuff in general. Lucky enough to have a 2012 yamazaki sherry cask which is my all time favourite in my collection but anything like that has just gone stratospheric and beyond it’s worth imo. Tried a kavalan soloist sherry cask which I thought was good but maybe lacking depth. Redbreast 21 was good. Just struggling to pick some new ones to try out for Christmas this year. Grabbed a bottle of Nantou Omar so far and now stuck with what else to try. I seem to lean towards foreign stuff as often find scotch overly peated but I know this is an incorrect generalisation I just need to find some things I like.

DoctaFun posted:Glendronach 18 is fantastic, and the stuff you can buy right now is actually more like 24 years old even though it’s labeled as an 18 year. Tried to get both of these. Above. Deanston is completely gone. The glendronach has gone up about 40% on the lead up to Christmas which is a pisstake. Hopefully will go down again in the new year.

Sorry lads I’m in the UK. Also the a’bundah here is up 40% thanks to the new corporate overlords. People are not happy at all. Crazy that some of the stuff we make is more expensive than all the way across the fuckin sea!

It’s absolutely loving disgusting as well. It’s clear. And tastes like moonshine or something. Just an absolute joke of a dram.

The Chita used to be £30 in supermarkets and it was okay but quite bland and just honey to me. I wouldn’t go mental for it or pay decent money. All the good well priced Japanese stuff seems to have gone

My wife got me some suntory “torys extra” for Christmas. It’s absolutely dogshit and the picture on the side seems to show it being mixed with soda. What can I do with it to make it more appealing!? The soda does nothing.

I have a single cube of ice with everything. It just seems to bring out flavours a lot more to my palette and just be a much more pleasant experience. But I think it’s purely personal preference. Nothing worse when some dork at a tasting or something tells everyone they’re doing it wrong.

Anyone had the Belvenie Caribbean cask? I’m hearing a lot of absolute rave reviews lately. I quite fancy something a little bit different to my usually sherry lead, none smoked stuff.

I adore gin. Probably have 50 bottles. My favourite is Ophir. Spicy and delicious. Not expensive either.

Glenmorange do some insanely good drams. I picked up a bunch when I went to their distillery. This stuff is spectacular.

gwrtheyrn posted:Anyone have recommendations for port finished whiskeys that have reasonably distribution? The one bottle I have at home is the kavalan solist port cask, and it smells incredible and I quite enjoy it. The problem is that it's not really something you can get in the US, or at least not without ridiculous probably secondary market prices. The only widely available port cask finished whiskey that I know of is angels envy. Bape Culture posted:This stuff is spectacular.

Pretty much any glendronach. Yamazakis. Redbreasts.

Virgin oak? Also because they’re cheap as hell and there’s a ton of them and by law they have to be replaced every so often or something.

Spotted a bottle of Caribbean cask 14 in the supermarket. Can’t wait to try it. Every time I’ve looked on Amazon it’s been oos. Sounds right up my street

Can anyone recommend any weird, heavily sherried drams? I’m thinking like from a country you wouldn’t expect. I’ve done Japan and Taiwan. Hoping to find something a bit under the radar. It’s for a gift

I absolutely love it. I find it’s got a little bit of everything going on. I always drink it with a single cube of ice though which seems to open it right up. I find it quite rare to have a bit of smoke/fruit/oak etc all together

Wow I’m surprised to read that! Quinta ruban is one of my favourite tipples at the lower end. Feels chewy and lingers for ages. Almost like a dessert wine.

Get a Glendronach imho. I also love the Balvenie Caribbean cask 14 for that sort of money.
