My local store shelves were sorely depleted of my usual selections. I finally resolved to get Laphroaig 10 even though it’s not my favorite. I generally prefer peated sherry bombs. Then I notic ... |

I purchased it at a liquor store, but it was one of those large liquor superstores called “Specs†we have in Texas. They sell some food too, but not much. Imports. Gourmet cheeses, nuts, e ... |

I had the first cork in years break on me. First time opening a bottle of Bunnahabhain Stuireadair. Is this cork issue common with this whiskey? |

That makes sense as a way to sweeten the whiskey. As much as I love single malts, I do prefer sherry bombs. So I can understand adding grain whisky as an alternative way to sweeten it. Thanks for th ... |

I’m curious why the popular Irish whiskeys, like Jameson and Bushmills, are blends of separately mashed, distilled, and aged malt and grain whiskeys. Maybe it’s just me, but I greatly pr ... |

I recently got into Bourbon. There is a post in a section about American whiskey on this forum that recommends some Bourbons for scotch lovers, and that suggests that scotch lovers tend to like Bourb ... |

+1 on the Aberlour. It's not one of my favorites at the moment because I've gravitated towards more peated scotch, but I wish I'd encountered Aberlour when I was starting out 20 years ago at about y ... |

As a sherry bomb fan, but not an expert, I suggest checking out Tobermory 15 if you get the chance. If I understand correctly, the new owners went through a bunch of really old casks to put it togeth ... |
