Big thumbs up for Laphroaig Quarter Cask, and it's a worthwhile addition even if one already has the Laphroaig 10 on the shelf, as there is a noticeable difference between the two.

Single Malt Scotch!

I try every island scotch that I can but I keep coming back to Talisker 10 as my all time favorite scotch.
McClellan's early bottling line up is my "guilty pleasure" of affordable tasty scotch. Just LOVE the 5 year Bowmore aka McC's Islay.
As often as I see Talisker 10 mentioned, I'm going to have to give it a try sometime soon.
I didn't care for this one much at first, but it grew on me, and to tell the truth, I almost think I might be liking it more than the Bowmore 18 I have.
Possibly too much oak maybe for my taste.
Anyone interested in an unopened bottle of Bowmore 18? I'm hoping to trade it off, but may sell outright too if I can't find a trade.

Celebrating with a few ounces of Highland Park 18 at the moment. It is Probably my favorite non-smokey single malt.
Celebrating as it looks like I got a job as a research assistant for the summer
Grats!
And good call on the HP 18. I been diligently killing off bottles (at a safe pace, no worries!). In fact, I'm finishing off the last of the Laphroaig 10 right now. Thinking it's time to restock, and I think a bottle of HP 18 is definitely on the short list.
I finished off a bottle of Aberlour 12yr non-chill filtered. Rich chewy fruit, a slight hint of toffee and some spice thrown in at the finish. It's really good...
On to the next bottle!
On to the next bottle!
Might as well pick up the Laphroaig Quarter Cask if you're not replacing the 10 right away.I'm finishing off the last of the Laphroaig 10 right now. Thinking it's time to restock, and I think a bottle of HP 18 is definitely on the short list.

My local store has some of my staples on hand, but not much else. So, I recently picked up bottles of Laphroaig 10, Balvenie Double Wood, and Oban 14 to tide me over (still well-stocked with Lagavulin, my "comfort scotch"). I'll definitely keep my eye out for the Quarter Cask, though, thanks.
My apologies if this has been posted and I missed it, but this is a really cool article about Bruichladdich: Invalid Link Removed

As much as I read about Balvenie Double Wood, I'm going to have to pick up a bottle and see if it's as good as it seemed last summer.
Very cool article and long too - I'm going to take a while reading it and shop for a bottle of Bruichladdich when I get back to town.
Glenfiddich 15 yo Distillers Edition, its stronger, but how does it compare to the regular 15 (of which I must admit I'm quite a fan)?
Was quite tempted to pick up a bottle when I saw it on the shelf, but it's ~50% more expensive than the regular 15.
