What Whisky/Whiskey are we drinking this month?

artanevilla

I know there's a thread on recommending Whiskeys/Whiskys but there's none on general tasting as far as I can see.

Similar premise to the beer thread, but we'll say month instead of week as drinking a €50/60 bottle of Whiskey/Whisky a week is probably not a good idea...

I picked up a bottle of The Glenlivet Master Distillers Reserve on my travels recently. No age statement.

Not the most complex Whisky in the world. It's quite nice though, smooth and fruity, very strong taste of pears, and a tiny bit of spice. Drank with a splash of water.

Batch 1 is limited but batch number suggests that there will be more. I can't see what the abv is.

But I still bought it.

I could justify it. As I said I was tempted above.

Now I'm trying to justify the extra bottle. :pac:

Looks like it was just when it was added alright

Won't sell out that fast. Just need to give it a minute to load.

That was a bit on an impulse buy.

Yup. I was complaining about the cost of something earlier on, and the Ulster Bank "You've been paid" text came through at 11.50.

Sake.

As speculated last week; 10 YO Red Breast CS

€100 is a tasty price for it

The 12 CS is cheaper. But the limited run adds a cost, and a value on the secondary.
Some will probably think the 12CS is better value being older. But I'm a big sherry fan. I rate the Lustau over the 12. I'm pretty tempted by this.

I had a Connemara Peated last night. Very tasty indeed, not knock your socks off but enjoyable none the less. I will admit I've not had huge exposure to peated stuff, I'd pick up a scotch then buy an Irish instead.

Does anyone have experience with Sailor's Home? I see that a lot of bottles are on sale from master of malt.

On the birdhouse website.

I was just checking if that was the only way.
I managed to get Blue Spot via email, and MVR21 by just asking in my local offie.

Irish distillers are on a roll with the launches of Midleton 2020, 2021 and Bluespot all selling out straight away. Tomorrow will be no different. I'm not a big fan of these event releases especially queuing up or ringing around trying to find a bottle before they are snapped up by non whiskey drinkers.

I ordered a sample of it when I ordered the gift. Found it very nice and subtle, needless to say I will have to sample more to get a full feel of it. However I look forward to getting a bottle myself

Got the father in law a bottle of Drumshanbo pot still for his birthday. Have to say it is a really eye catching box and bottle, looks very striking and luxurious.

Am a tad jealous so will be getting myself one soon enough.

Got my brother one for his birthday last week as well. Hoping restrictions are lifted in time for me to call in to get a taste.

As a company they make thier product and bottles very catching which is I suppose is an important thing in a busy market.

I know, ugh! And then the dreamcask will be following 2 months from now. I dread it!

Back onto Ardbeg 10. Hated it at first but love it now. It's great going back to something you really enjoy

Unreal value. Its cheaper to buy 14 of these than buy the 700ml bottles themselves.

I would have to make a little house out of the boxes if I came home with 56 miniatures in one go.

14 x €26 = €364

Barry Crockett - 250
Redbreast 12 - 60
Green Spot - 60
Johns Lane - 65

Agreed. Drinkshero.com sell a 5cl sample of the Barry Crockett for €25.
