Quick update. Sent them a message a few weeks back. No reply. Oh well.

One of the main things I was hoping to learn was whether the Jura 12 is available in the States. I read somewhere that it ...

Thanks, James! I'll admit, I haven't really delved into blended scotch whisky. There are some I am curious about, but my very first scotches were blendeds and they put me right off scotch for years. ...

Glenfarclas, brilliant! I should have been able to think of that, but failed. Readily available. Dedicated to a core style. And very tasty! Perfect. Thanks Lincoln Imp and Grant!

I'm interested to explore how aging impacts the taste of a spirit in more depth. I'd like to do a vertical tasting from a single distillery and I am looking for suggestions. Many distilleries though ...

Thanks Matt! Your are a font of knowledge as always. I've got to say I am jealous of the low prices for whisky across the pond there. For me Jura 18 runs about $140 (approx. Â£107)! On top of th ...

Thanks for the tip, Matt! I succeeded at finding a bottle of the 16 at a dingy liquor store (always the best place to go bottle prospecting!) today. I'll guard it, and enjoy at some point. In doing ...

Thanks Matt! Now I just need to figure out if the watery mess I tried in the bar was the new or the old 10. But it also sounds as though I should keep up the hunt for the old 16 as the 18 is far ove ...

So, I recently had the opportunity to try Jura 10 and 16. I know that malt has some fanatical opponents. I'm not keen to hear about that specifically. Actually, I found those bottles to have someth ...

Hi Drame Blanche,

Thanks for the tip! Sadly, there is little availability of Dailuaine near me. I can find a Berrys' Dailuaine 14 Year and a bottle of Alexander Murray 1997 Dailuaine, but that's ...

Not certain this warrants a follow up, but I thought I'd post one anyhow. I ended up purchasing Glengoyne 12, Gelnfarclas 17, and Dalmore 15, in addition to the Glendronach 12 and Aberlour 16 I alrea ...

Hi Lincoln Imp - Thanks! Will do. I suspect if understanding is my goal getting blootered won't help, so without a doubt I'll take my time. I'd not say I was "new" to malt per se. I've ...

Hi MW Plaster - I always appreciate contrarian or controversial stances. I'll admit that I've not had any of the big 3 brands (Macallan, Glenfiddich, or Glenlivet). I'm one of those who drinks craft ...

Thanks mistah! I've made plans to head over to taste a few at the whisky bar soon.

Hi Lincoln Imp - Thanks for the tips! I've decided against the Dalmore after reading further reviews. I feel as though I should try both that and Macallan someday, but nothing is pushing me to do so ...

Thanks all for the detailed thoughts and suggestions!

Mark - Thank you for the kind welcome. Glad I didn't offend with my comment about NAS expressions. I certainly wouldn't suggest that all NAS ...
