Is that Talisker stuff good?

(G)A(Y)MAZING.

 

[Krilons Resa]

the Talisker Distiller's Edition aged in the Spanish Amaroso Barrels the best scotch I have ever had.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

What about the other stuff they make?

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Oh. And does anyone know the difference between the age increments. 12-15-18.... Were poor and we want to try stuff. Enlighten us

 

[Krilons Resa]

Age doesnt necessarily equate to better. Depends on your tastes. The longer its been aged, the more oaky/woody it iwll be and get flavors from whatever the barrel was used for previously ie sherry, amaroso, burgundy, etc etc.

Also, you cant go wrong with anything Talisker.

No idea because the Distiller's Edition I'm getting is a tad more expensive than the 18yr old. Maybe it depends on the yr. The one I had that was fucking unruly was 1996 I believe. Not even sure what year this one is as I tracked aplace down that had it and just told the in-laws. I'll see on Xmas Eve.

Yep. Usually around Xmas, I get money thrown my way from customers.

Just got back from the liquor emporium with a bottle of Rowan's Creek, Four Roses Single Barrel, Buffalo Trace, and a plethora of California Cabernets.

$165 in two days so far. We'll see what the rest of the week brings.

Had that at my manager's house last year. It was okay I suppose. Not really my style.

has kind of a honey taste

I keep wanting to get the Four Roses Single Barrel but it reminds me of Guns 'n Roses and I just can't.
Almost got some Buffalo Trace last night though
maybe next time

 

[Krilons Resa]

yea it does. it's a "soft" scotch whisky. It's all honey, apples, and all that fag shit.

[Krilons Resa]

Dorian n Lurch....take a moment to stop and smell the roses.

 

[lurch70]

the only good thing I see about the Four Roses is that nobody I offer it to will drink it
