I've heard the 18 is really good. I will have to try both.

You are right about the Nadurra. I add some water to all scotch.

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 

Currently it's a bottle of Macallan 12yr that I am almost done with. I think I liked the 10yr better tho.

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 

Sounds like you prefer that oak better than the sherry cask offerings.

Macallan makes a 12, 15 and a 17 fine oak variety as well....

My new favorite Lagavulin 16

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 

My favorite as well

:banger

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 

I am a die hard Glenlivet fan, French Oak Reserve 15 yr or the 18 yr.

There are some others that are nice such as Laphroaig and Glenmorangie, but something about Glenlivet just feels so nice to me.

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 

Been meaning to try it. I have found the new Johnny Walker Double Black to be a pleasant surprise especially when you consider the low price point.

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 

What's the difference between Double Black and just regular JW Black? I actually really enjoy JW Black for what it is.

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 

It has a nice smokiness to it without being overbearing and still a slight sweetness on the finish.

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 

I found the DB to be lighter but better defined flavours (more in-focus) than the regular BL.

I'm not a Glenlivet fan but I have to admit the Naddura really won be over. World-class IMHO...

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 

I have been eyeing the DB though I usually stick to Single Malts. I picked up a bottle of Ardbeg 10 yesterday now this stuff is dangerous. Smooth as water with all the smoke and brine you want in an Islay

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 

I absolutely love the nadurra, and lately I've been drinking nothing but sherry aged :dr .

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 

I've been drinking Laphroaig Triple Wood lately...

very nice flavor profile...it's sort of a cross between an Islay and a Highland

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 

Johnny Blue...
Highland Park 18...
Macallan fine oak 21...
Balvenie 21...

Laphroaig is a little too smokey for me so I'll mix it in a less mature Scotch to get a hint of that flavor.

Cheers

I've been on an Port Charlotte kick (Peated Bruichladdich)....But I think some of the new Kilchoman's are are starting to win a place in my heart.

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 

Any thoughts on Laguvulin 16 yo vs. Laguvulin 12 yo Distillers Edition?

The Distillers Edition is about 20 bucks more expensive than the 16 yo. Is the price difference worth it? Anyone have experience with one or both of them?

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 

They are very different IMO....

The 12 is lighter on the palate than the 16 and is a bit spicier than the 16 as well....the 16 is somewhat sweeter.

The alcohol content is higher in the 12, 56% as opposed to 43% in the 16

The 12 benefits more by a drop or two of water than the 16 IMO.

I love both, but I give the edge to the 16.

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 

I agree, and I also find the 16 to be a bit more smokey with a longer finish.:tu

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 

Which is why I love it so

:D

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
 

Myself included. I think it's heads and tails over Laphroaig and JW Double Black. (as far as smokey types go)
