OT: What are you all drinking tonight
- Thread starter Jersey Boys
- Start date
cheers everyoneI know i'm enjoying these off brand "expert picks" for whiskey bourbon and cognac at Total Wine & More. Can't believe i've never mentioned to this business. My cousin took me to the Cherry Hill store and i lost my mind only to find out the store in Claymont DE which is closer to me is even bigger...
It's Mardi Gras Weekend so I was sipping Vieux Carrés which are basically a New Orleans Manhattan on steroids.
Just bought a fresh bottle of Macallan 15 thanks to a very kind gift certificate that I finally cashed in!
Going with Port Charlotte tonight. My first time having this. Very good, nice and peaty. I like that its 50%
I was disappointed with this: my son Tyler had a bottle of it and we tried it when I was down visiting last week. Too much peat and not enough body. Didn't mind the smoke but I wanted something behind it.
I like the peat but I get what you are saying. I've notice sometimes when a bottle if first opened I wont pick up all the flavors. After it's been open a while and a few drams have been consumed the flavor profile opens up. I had this happen with a bottle of Glenlivet limited release once. When I first opened it, it was just Ok at best. A few weeks later I went back for more and it was much improved.
That's a healthy dram. I got the same amount left in my bottle. Happy Birthday!Enjoying this for my birthday:

When I Lagavulin, or Laphroig or Ardbeg, my wife damn near wants to me leave the room. But they are so damn good.Enjoying some Lagavulin 16 watching The Ten Commandments
Ha yeah, I'll bring a dram into the bedroom sometimes and the wife will know I got a peaty one in there. Says it smells like a bonfire.
Going with this one tonight. Not as smoky as an Islay but I like it. Has a more briny taste IMO

It’s actually not bad. The only JW really worth the price.
I have not had the green label yet but I agree generally that the JW Scotch's are not worth the price.
My Favorite Single Malt! I enjoy it most on a cold winters night Fire Place going full blast and sipping it with just a few drops of water to mellow it just a bit! Smoke, Peat, and a hint of vanilla! Mmmmm!Enjoying some Lagavulin 16 watching The Ten Commandments
