Either too subtle or too Sherried for my taste, but since I’ve been digging deeper into the gentler drams (too much Peat numbs the palate afterall), I have learned to appreciate what they’re doing. All in the name of research! HUZZAH!

You guys should get on Twitter. All kinds of fun Whisky banter going on there. In fact, there is so much going on there that it sometimes gets tough to keep up.

Whilst there’s something to be said for the expectant hush when you have the first sip of a dram, more than once I’ve been happily tippling something when it’s full virtues creep up on me. For this reason I have been known to put down a dram and stare at it in disbelief, saying “Wow. That is really nice whisky!”
I’m interested to hear it was a Glenmorangie as well. Their newer range does have some crackers in. I have to admit, it was never a favourite of mine until I had some SMWS bottlings, at which point I discovered a whole different character to the stuff.

I can not argue with your choices. All are positively delightful, and the Talisker and Highland Park in particular are among my favorites. If I had to add any others to the list, I would go with The Balvenie, Laphroaig, and the distillery that is quickly rising to my top 10, Ardbeg. Truth be told, there are very few truly dreadful and undrinkable whiskies out there (at least once you get above a certain price point), but these three consistently make me happy.

And speaking of happy… as I type, I am drinking a Glenmorangie Astar. I’m beginning to think that I need to approach whisky in the same manner that I approach music, i.e. I can’t sit there and just listen to an album. I need to have it on in the background and just let it creep into my subconscious. The same goes with a much anticipated whisky. When my expectations are high, that first sip will almost always be a disappointment. But when I just sip it casually, I learn to really appreciate it as its subtleties are slowly revealed. I’m liking this whisky! Stay tuned for a full review…

Cheers!
G-LO

Massively belated response, sorry for that. A couple of the lads were along for Whisky Stramash, you maybe spotted them?

I promise I’ll be keeping an eagle eye on the commments from here on in!

Leggy (aka Michael)

Are you in Embra this weekend for Whisky Stramash? The Society is holding a whisky tasting/dinner at 28 Queen Street this Friday as a bit of a warm-up – be great if a couple of you could come along – not seen you in ages.

Sorry for the post, realised I only have what’s probably an old mobile number for Fionn

Cheers
Helen – SMWS
