Man, oh man.

I bought a bottle for to celebrate my new job, because my wife likes "Bunna" more than the others, to enjoy during the evenings at www.NHSCOT.Org Loon Mt. Highland Games.

Man, oh man.

You "gots" to try it.

I'd offer a taste but you are there, I am here (so is the whisky) and technically it's my wife's.

My whisky buying days are over for a while. I have enough on hand to keep me busy for a while. My next "never tried it" purchase will be Laphroaig 15.

Almost finished with the Auchentoshan. It's surprisingly very nice.
My wife is still enjoying the Bunnahabhain 18.

Unopened in the cellar are Scapa (14), Old Pulteny (12?), Bruichladdich (15) and Bowmore (12?).

Open in the cellar are Ardbeg (10), Laphroaig (QC), Lagavulin (16), Caol Ila (12), Bunnahabhain (12?).

Finished are Caol Ila (18), Laphroaig (10 and CS), The MacAllan, Highland Park, Talisker, Oban, a couple of small bottles of Balvenie, McClelland (a young Bowmore), Glenlivet, Bruichladdich (not 15)

What about a 21 year old Macallan., It very smooth, Caramels and Woody. One of my faves as well as a 15 year old bowmore.

got a bottle of Tobermory 10 on a whim (cheap at ABC Liquors -- $24.00) and was nicely surprised

it is a light, palatable and refreshing malt, with just light peat and some sweet stuff in it (maybe weak coffee?).

it's rather smooth, and the finish is pretty neat, with light warmth on the tongue and a bit more sweetness coming out ...

if anything, the only thing i don't like about it is that "weak coffee" flavor that seems to be too sweet at times

but for $24, real nice!
