I see Hibiki in there

Oh, I didn't want to be that 1 out of 5 who doesn't recommend. . .

I prefer the Yamazaki, but haven't been able to find either locally for a few years.

Prefer this myself...

When I was in Japan, I think (by translation and broken English) that Yamazaki changed ownership...and there's something about them being able to technically sell the 12 or 18 until the time of new ownership has hit. Not sure if it's true, but my last 2 trips there, I was not able to find any.

Very impressive collection...

I used to be quite the fan of alcohol... it caught up with me. Be safe, and be careful guys.

UncleWede · 10-31-2018, 11:39 AM

Went out last night and went whiskey neat. Had a first wee dram that was OK, can't remember the name. Then I took on the challenge of Highland Park. The waiter came with the glass and said the bar tender went a little heavy on the pour. I think it was because she couldn't give that shit away. Waiter claimed no, that was teh most requested whiskey they served. I had to send it back. My brother couldn't hardly even smell the shit, wouldn't put any across his lips. I sent it back, but said I would pay since I made the request. Manager credited my bill anyways.

So to lighten things up, I ordered a final snoot of Angel's Envy. OMG, that was sweet/smooth.

^Zen, once I ordered the first glass, I handed the keys to my son.

Congrats to all those who made the list

Those wanting to be on the list, need to step up your game some.

This has made my day - The sense of achievement will surely last longer than any hangover ever could

I was drinking Highland Park the other night, I love that stuff.....but with all whisk(e)y it's a personal thing.

Grumpy Old Man · 11-01-2018, 12:59 PM

Halloween in Niagara on the Lake, the kids get candies and the adults who are carrying a glass get Glenfiddich. Trick of Treat!

This wasn't just their regular draw, apparently. "Peat mash, creating the smokiest whiskey on earth" or something to that effect.

Peated whisk(e)y isn't everyones cup of tea.....I used to hate it but have begun to enjoy it. Talisker is one of my fav's now. Salty, peaty and a bit of smoke.

Being an alcoholic makes my day too

M_Six · 11-01-2018, 10:56 PM

Bought this today on a lark because it's aged in IPA barrels and I love IPA. It is goooood. Might become my new Go To quaff. There was also a Stout Barrel version.
