I tried Highland Park once and did not care for it over Bunna 12, but on your recommendation, I will give it another try, jwise. Many thanks for the comparison.

I think that Ralph's normal price is $67.95 or so, but they just started handling the JWGR in the last 3 or 4 months in the store that I frequent. I suspect that is pretty pricey compared to the...

Broke out a new bottle for the next 2 weeks of "1 drink a night" drinking spree. The Auchentoshan 21 yo. If I were to pass judgement in my personal liking list I would put it on about a level with...

I actually had a sample bottle of the Mac 18 a while back and really liked it, to me was a definite taste above the Mac 12.

Auchentoshan 21 ?

Auchentoshan 21:
likes, dislikes, comments?
I picked up 2 bottles in a very weak moment because they were out of Bunnahabhain 18.

Thank you for your comments, jwise.
I never really tried the Dalmore Gran Reserva, as I had seen some comments that it may not be quite as good as the Cigar malt that it replaced.

I did worse than expected. I bought 2 bottles of the 21 YO Balvenie Portwood @ $169.95 and they had only 1 bottle of Bunnahabhain 18 YO @ $89.95, so I snagged that also. So I am sort of broke, but...

Well, at least I know that I am headed in the right direction. I probably haven't tried the right Fiddich, but if I can help it, I never will. Years back, I preferred GlenLivet 12 over Glenfiddich. I...

Thanks, Soundmangt4, for the response. That makes sense. Maybe Wikipedia, go figure, noted it as a Speyside.

Maybe they only bottle a 10 YO now, but that doesn't mean that they never bottled a 12 YO, and maybe it is something that is not commonly and / or readily available. There's about a few thousand hits...

I suspect that quite a few people simply cannot afford the Mac 25. It just went up recently down here to, I believe, $550 at the best of the discount liquor outlets that I know of. Considerable...

Probably another "to die for" for me SMSW would be "North of Scotland 64" @ $ 229.99. It seems to me that I saw a bottle or 2 of that for about the same price over where I bought the 4 bottles.
