Anyone tried Aussie Whiskey? Heard some good things about it. Thinking about getting this, anyone tried it?

No but Adnams are doing a whisky-like spirit called Broadside. Different.

Sounds alright that. Might have to purchase a bottle.

A friend from down that way brought my mum a bottle up.

It’s got a unique, but not unpleasant taste.

Not a single malt, but a lovely drop for a blended scotch. Based on preserved bottles found under the ice from expedition of 1907.

One of their beers is called Broadside ; that's an easy job their advertising department has got if that's the best they can offer.

Had some Kavalan, a Taiwanese malt yesterday. Lovely and sweet, finished in port pipes I think. Reminded me Glenrothes founders reserve a bit. Would recommend.

Laphroaig Select v Laphroaig 10 year Old...

MrPerfectNot · October 20, 2019

Watched the Blues win early this morning (530am local time), made breakfast with the fam, spent the morning cleaning up the garden and reffed two youth matches this afternoon.

Now: Laphroaig 10 year old. Life is good.

What's everyone's favourite peaty Scotch?

It's my brother-in-law's birthday next Saturday and I know he likes peaty Scotch. However, I know almost nothing about whisky.

Pick anything that comes from Islay, bar Bunnahabhain. Laphroaig if you're on a budget, Lagavulin is expensive but bound to be appreciated. But Islay is the key.

Still no sign in the UK of Heaven's Door. It's had good reviews on the whiskey sites.

Been enjoying a fair amount of Macallan at the moment... got to say the 12 year double cask is really good... thoughts on Macallan anyone? Big differences between the 12, 15 and 18?

Macallan is a pretty good Speyside whisky, I actually had a12 year old out in Japan last week , long story. For me the 18 year old is a superb whisky, though maybe influenced by frequent mentions in US tv series like Suits , but everybody is different and you just might prefer a 15 .
As an aside , the “new” Macallan distillery is well worth a visit as it’s so different from the traditional distilleries, a great visitor experience.
