Smokey and Peaty, great for sipping....and introducing others to smokey and peaty scotch



My everyday favorite right now; smooth and great tasting



The good stuff, but not overly pricey.

Fifteen years ago my wife and I did a trip to Scotland. We spent a night in Helmsdale in the Sutherland region of the Highlands. The River Helmsdale is a famed salmon river, though like many Scottish rivers, the stocks are very depressed and face many dire challenges. It’s a beautiful part of the Highlands and I fell in love with it. The local distillery is Clynelish and I’ve only ever come across it in a BC Liquor store once, as a specialty. I think their single malts are mostly sold within the Sutherland region, with the greatest portion of their product going to Johnny Walker blends. If you can get your hands on a bottle of single malt, it’s well worth it.

I got this as a gift ( and being a true Scot, nothing tastes better than free ) but it’s very new favorite. i was leery as i’d never heard of it but well worth the buy.

I like to wander throughout the world of whiskey. Bourbon, rye, blends, Irish, Japanese, Canadian but for Scotch mo cuishle is Aberlour A’bundha cask strength. Definitely a sipper versus swiller unless you’re Don Draper…….a few of these and your English will sound Gaelic.

I like scotch and coke

I’m lucky enough to be best buds with an internet whisky celebrity. If you YouTube ‘Trenny and C’, C and I have been tight since we were 1 year old.

He has probably 500 bottles in his “studio”. (Garage) he never buys any of his own anymore. Companies gift him boxes of bottles to review. I get to try some amazing drams. He’s been invited to private tastings and has had some of the oldest scotches ever. Some at well into 5 figures per bottle. $$$$$

I personally prefer sherry cask scotches.
My go to slammer is glenfiddich solara 15. It’s cool because they keep adding to the barrels every year so they’re now some 20+ year old in there but they can only put the age stamens on the youngest in the batch.

I also love Irish whiskey (red breast 12) and kavalan Taiwanese whiskey is insanely good but expensive, at at least a few hundred per bottle.
Two brewers is a great Canadian Whiskey.

Check out Trenny and C. They are a lot of fun

You guys have listed some very good whiskey's. I usually have a few bottles around the house with Auchentoshan 3 wood as the regular dram and of course the Lagavulin 16 for special occasions. Cheers!

 

[Rigby]

After a lot of $ spent over the years, some really great bottles and some not so great, I just drink Famous Grouse now.

 

[Gong Show]

Famous Grouse is my go to blended.
Lagavulin 16 as previously noted for special occasions.
But I do like this one:

 

[MRWood]

I like scotch and coke

Neat?? lol

 

[Captain PartyMarty]

Neat?? lol

No I like a lot of ice

 

[Squire]

I had to search a bit because it doesn't seem to be available any more but this one I paid about $100 for in 2003 was a gooder.

Auchentoshan 3 wood is my number two all time fave

I went to glenlivet on our honeymoon and got a half decent bottle that only gets touched on special occasions once a year. It’s gooood. Tried a bunch and this is the one we settled on that even my wife enjoyed.

I always have a few various bottles in the cabinet. And at the cabin, we always have a 60 pounder of buffalo trace haha.

 

[Blueback]

even my wife enjoyed

I made that mistake too; lol!

 

[ziggy]

Anybody tried the local ones from Caledonia distillery in Victoria? Any good?

 

[Gong Show]

The Shelter Point Distillery puts out a good product these days.
I had a few drams of their earliest efforts and decided it would take some time, but they have won a couple of gold medals at the San Francisco Spirits Competition, so I tried them out again and was pleasantly surprised at how good it is.
