I mean look, Scottish kiltsmen ran around all day, which is why they could drink entire kegs of this stuff.

Nah, use this or the cocktail thread imo, the rum thread died for lack of posting. Maybe we even had a gin one at one point. Everyone will be happy to learn!

The Pikesville rye that I thought was maybe a little too strong and hot... I'm liking more and more it gets towards the end of the bottle, maybe it's mellowing a bit.

spankmeister posted:Maybe he likes scotch more than rye and bourbon and you should get him a good scotch instead. I mean, yeah, I know, he's had plenty of good scotch too, he just chooses macallan for his regular drink at home.

Anyone celebrating Dunnett day with some scotch?

Speaking of, I had a glass of the always reliable wt101 bourbon and even though it's been sitting somewhat low for a while, still good.

Last night I went to a tasting of M&H, one of the first distilleries in, of all places, Israel. Bunch of talk about climate, losing a shitton to evaporation, etc The Classic Bourbon & STR Cask matured 46% was described as a pretty standard whisky and, yup, pretty standard, very little to talk about. They have an elements line in which we tried red wine cask, sherry cask, and peated, all the same 46%. Honestly, despite loving peaty Scotch, I preferred the other two, both had a very sweet nose and not terribly burny, while the peated just didn't stand out at all. Then there was the Arts and Crafts doppelbock haaretz doppelbock beer cask matured 58.3%. Holy poo poo this was gorgeous, rich, a long slow burn that really lasted. I loved this one a lot. Finally, Apex Fortified Red Wine Port-Style Red Wine cask matured 60.4%. I liked it, and honestly it reminded me more of scotch than the peated elements, but wasn't my favorite. Overall, by far I loved the arts and crafts, quite liked two of the elements, and it was a great time. Never heard of Israeli whisky before.

Friend's dad decided to open a bottle of Royal Salute 21 year...and I couldn't get any tasting notes at all out of it. Smooth to the point of boring. What's this supposed to be? What is it even blended from?
