The Boofon Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I know jack shit about whisky, but a friend got me a bottle of Laphroaig 10 Year Old Douglas of Drumlanrig, as a gift to mark my daughters birth. Has anyone tried it, or knows anything about it? It seems to get good reviews online, so is this the kind of thing to keep as a treasure and secretly quaff while serving Tesco Value Whisky to my guests?Gads. Link to comment

Currently fishing out a dry roasted KP peanut will update if it worked out too. Was reading reviews online and someone was saying all these "special" versions are generally the normal ones where they have made a cunt of it. Like the color is out or that. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 The elf on my shelf drunk pretty much a whole bottle of Glenglassaugh revival last night then came upstairs and smashed me over the head with the bottle. That's what it feels like happened anyway. Rough as fuck the day. Link to comment

Clydeside_Sheep Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Gads min. Not a fan of the darks. Darks you say! The stuff is near see-through! I have tanned about half the bottle by now, its not bad. Im obviously a philisitine - my appreciation of whisky (and cognac) seems greater if I already have a good drink in me. Link to comment

Macleod Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 That's just a Glenlivet 12 with a new name. Fucking lovely mind.I'm afraid it's not. It's a "No Age Statement" 10 year old, and nowhere near the complexity of the 12. I have half a bottle of a 12 left, and it's going to last me for years, unless I manage to get my hands on another.

Couldn't get my hands on a bottle of Dalwhinnie 15 year old so got some of that Glenlivet Founders Reserve and a bottle of Aberlour 10 year old. They should see me over the festive period - I hope.

My mate bought a case of it when he heard it was being stopped. Link to comment

Forgive my ignorance by how can an aged Whisky be stopped? If a company make a 12 year old every year of the same Whisky wouldn't that mean fresh supplies would still be sitting waiting to be released every year for the next 11 years? Link to comment

Like red wine after the first glass they all taste the same or you've given up caring. Link to comment
rumpus Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Complex Whisky! It's like wine buffs with their ' Fruity ambience with a subtle hint of nutmeg' pish. Vodka snobs are as bad with; Grey Goose is better than the rest, lovely and smooth...What's the frigging difference when it gets drowned in coke and ice. Link to comment
