Yes, yes ad 100% yes!My choice of whisky always revolve around these three brands :
1. Glenmorangie : 18 years, Nectar D'or, Lasanta
2. Yamasaki : Distillers (un-aged), 12 years, 18 years (for the rare occasions) and Hakushu (same distillery as Yamasaki)
3. Ardberg : Uigeadail, Corryvreckan
But I do keep an assortment of other bottles such as Laphroaig, Balvenie 16/18, Macallan, Hibiki, etc for varieties and tasting. The Macallan was my old favorite but it has became too pricey in the last 5 years and not worth the money.
I do like the Sullivan but for always find the Kavalan smell and taste like Chinese medicine !Sullivan's Cove American Oak from Tasmania, Kavalan the Soloist from Taiwan, Hibiki (Suntory) from Japan
R u sure that was the Sherry Cask Solist ? I actually find Scottish Speyside whiskies to be as you describedI do like the Sullivan but for always find the Kavalan smell and taste like Chinese medicine !
I don't remember it being a sherry cask, probably an American oak or bourbon. I picked this up immediately after it won gold in some competitions but the taste wasn't to my liking. Since then, I have avoided Kavalan.R u sure that was the Sherry Cask Solist ? I actually find Scottish Speyside whiskies to be as you described
Fair enough, whisky is a very specific personal taste.I don't remember it being a sherry cask, probably an American oak or bourbon. I picked this up immediately after it won gold in some competitions but the taste wasn't to my liking. Since then, I have avoided Kavalan.
Either the Speyside or the Jap whiskies now.
Islay all the way for me too and a big Laphroaig fan but I would avoid the "Select" personally.Laphroaig. Always Laphroaig. Just about anything from Islay, really, plus Talisker.
Love Tamnavulin, very very good whisky for the priceJust discovered this.
Its very very good. Rich, earthy, smokey, but mellow and smooth. And it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Awesome.
