LOL. Thanks for the suggestions. I mixed a little uigedail with Balvenie 21, but that wasn't the answer. What's the best Laphroig in your opinion?

Great idea. I also tried the Ardbeg again with some water, and it's much more enjoyable - the vanilla and sweetness is much more prominent, and for me, more enjoyable. This is the first whisky I'd...

Well, after reading all the great reviews, I was tricked into trying another Islay. People can't say enough good things about this stuff. So I went for it. Damn - smoke, smoke, smoke. Too much...

Would a speyside SMSW lover like George T. Stagg?

I'm really intrigued to check out GTS bourbon. Can anyone here describe it to me?

Balvenie Madeira 17

I think most of you would agree Balvenie 21 is great stuff. However, I cannot make a bottle of that last more than 3 days. So to be a bit more economical, I have been grabbing up Madeira 17. IMHO...

Lagavulin 16 - a place no speyside lover should go.

I am drinking Lag 16, for the first time, and the smokey nose ruins it for me. I love nosing Balvenies and old 'Livets and old 'Fiddichs: their sweet beautiful aromas portend great palates. Now I...

Where Can I find Duty Free balvenie 21 portwood in So. Cal?

Anyone know where I can find this stuff? I live in Riverside County - close to LA. I hear the increased ABV version is even better than the "standard" stuff.

Thanks.

Thumbs up F' All - I Have A New Fave And The Glenfiddich 30 Isn't That Good

Pardon my vulgarity, but the Balvenie 21 Portwood is incredible. I've set aside the Fiddich 30. I can't understand how the same owners can produce such disparate whiskys. You'd think for more...

I really liked the Livet 21 - Very smooth, not very "alcoholic" for a 43%er, you can hold it on your palate for a long time with no burn. Its actually smoother than the XXV IMHO. Beautiful dark...

Sweet - I went looking for that at Bevmo today but they had none, so I picked up a Glenlivet 21 in the wooden box.

I'd love to compare the two side by side.
