spankmeister posted:Anyone tried the revamped Isle of Arran yet? Arran was already decent even in the old guise, but yeah, even better now I suppose. I think it's important to remember than Arran has a fairly temperate climate much of the year compared to the rest of Scotland, so it's entirely possible that their whiskies mature at a faster clip than stuff racked elsewhere.

IIRC a lot of Stitzel-Weller juice was stored in stainless steel tanks as both distillate and bourbon that had been aged to a certain standard. How do we know Glendronach juice wasn't handled the same way?

spankmeister posted:I don't think the laws governing scotch whisky allow for that. They definitely do. Scotch can be transferred to tanks at any time...whether for storage, transport, vatting/blending, or any other reason. It just needs to be accounted for in the age statement (if there is one.)

St. George made a single malt whisky that was distilled out of a brown ale mash brewed by Sierra Nevada. It was interesting, kinda skunky like beers can be.

Quiet Feet posted:Got myself some Redbreast 12y as an early birthday present. I like it but I'm kinda still making sense of it. Seems a bit sweeter and stickier than other Irish whiskeys I've tried. Redbreast is pot distilled, which some argue leaves more character from the mash/wort in the distillate, but really it mostly comes down to who is controlling the process...

Y’all are drinking the wrong IPAs and pairing the wrong flavors with peaty whiskies. With a peaty whisky is probably the only time I truly enjoy high cacao dark chocolate. Citrus is another good pairing for peat IME.

Comb Your Beard posted:I had that years ago, for some reason I like this more. But yea it is similar. I got on the Grouse bc of how popular it was in Scotland. Famous / Black Grouse is good. Black Bull is good.

nwin posted:I tried four roses small batch this weekend and really liked it. Extremely drinkable. I’d say this is my go to when I can’t find Buffalo Trace. Too bad it costs $10-15 more here and I can never find Buffalo Trace. Now try the Single Barrel.
