Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
Has anyone tried the new Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix? It doesn't specify an age to it but was bottled in 2010. Named after one of the worst winters in Scotland (last year), the roof in one section of the distillary actually collapsed from the snow. A retailer here (NJ) has a 3 pack of 750ml bottles for $210.

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
Apparently from what I can find "the casks going into it range from 13 to 30 years old" and "It is a limited edition malt (albeit in an edition of 60,000 bottles), and cannot be repeated".
http://www.worldofwhiskies.com/compo...try/year,2010/ Hope that helps out a bit. Sounds interesting, seeing as how it is limited I'm sure you it wouldn't hurt to pick up a 3 pack. If I had the cash I would. |

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
Oh wow, that's disappointing especially considering the price point, $55 or so for the 12, the 18 is up around $160 a bottle. If I get the chance I'll try it though.

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
I think this 12 will be part of my next scotch purchase. I keep hearing a lot of good things about this one. I need to find cheaper hobbies.....

So your saying if it is good enough for him, it should be good enough for me?

As far as scotches go... Lagavulin distiller's edition (the 1988 is my favourite) Caol Ila 18 year (do you see a trend here?) The MacAllan 18 (wonderful value in a top-shelf whisky) Balvennie 21 year portwood and three often overlooked scotches: Talisker 10 year is charming knuckle-dragger of an Islay malt Dalwhinnie is amazingly gentle, smooth, and subtle The Bheag is a blend (shocking) that is unchillfiltered and absolutely first-rate! |

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
I'd like Ardbeg if the price was more attractive. Mostly Caol Ila and Bowmore although I do like Laphraoig Quarter Cask and various Glenfidiches. Bunnahabhain is pretty good too.

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
I split a bottle of Caol Ila 30 yr w a friend of mine last Memorial Day. His bro was on leave. I brought the ERdM Panatella Largas from the 80s, he brought the scotch. That was a grrrreat day.

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
For your brothers who like peat flavor. Definitely give the Ardbeg Uigeadail a try. It has a stunningly complex pear flavor that is warm and not harsh. Also another one that is often over looked is the Longmorn 15yr
http://www.thewhiskyguide.com/Speyside/Longmorn.html http://www.thewhiskyguide.com/Taste-...Uigeadail.html The best MacAllans are the cask bottling, easiest being the 12 year old that has been talked about on this page, but you can also find it easily in independent bottling for good prices. This is when a specific barrel is purchased and then bottled by and individual or independent bottler. These can very wildly in flavor and change with the barrels storage location and year. Very cool way to try out different flavors. I went to a store in Japan back in 2008 that had a whole row of just MaAallan bottling, there were probably 500 different bottles.

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
I recently had a glass of Macallan 12 and it was really good. It will definitely be added to my small collection of scotch.

Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
A 12 year old Dalwhinnie is my all time favourite from the top of the Spey Valley in the Highlands. Full bodied but with just a hint of sweetness. Perfect dram every time
