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...

Auchentoshan 21 - I TOFTT

Big disappointment. I should've just picked up another bottle of Glenlivet 21. The nose is astringent and doesn't make want to dive in. So I,m turned off from the start. The palate is just kind...

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.
