Campfirey as I could want with a better aftertaste than the Laproigh. I like the Lagavulin a little better, that oilyness is awesome. I knew that you would like it. I'm a bourbon guy, but I always have at least 4 bottles of Scotch on hand, currently Laphroaig 10yr, Laphroaig 10yr cask strength, (a gift), Lagavulin 16 yr and, always, a bottle of Ardbeg 10yr. My favorite, depends on my mood. I love the Lagavulin 16, but it costs around $90.00 in my neck of the woods, so I rarely buy it. Ardbeg & Laphroaig 10 are more in my price range. I always come back to the Ardbeg 10yr...it's perfectly suited to my palate and reasonably priced. Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 12th Commandment Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Why I got the Ardbeg 10 and why I didn't pay for those others. I will be forking over the cash for another bottle of the Lagavulin 16. That's my favorite, so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just poured a glass of the Lagavulin. Cheers! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lagavulin is my favorite Islay scotch and they make a fine younger whisky at half the price of the 16. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoting myself simply because I’m several drinks in and just switched over to Lagavulin and goddamn this is a fine whisky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Today I finally got my hands on a bottle of Virginia Distillery Company’s newly released flagship American Single Malt whisky: Courage and Conviction. I live not too far from them and have been eagerly anticipating this release. Really cool story behind their origin and what they are trying to do with distilling a premium American single malt. It’s a small but growing segment of american whisky and they have spared no expense. https://vadistillery.com/courage-and-conviction 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PleaseBlitz Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 So for the last 8 years I’ve been drinking Makers as my go-to booze. I don’t know why I picked it, probably reputation and the strength of the brand. Certainly I really like it, but last weekend, because I am a nerd, bored and wanted to break the monotony, I conducted a scientific blind taste test of all the mass market bourbons. I typically drink Old Fashioneds, so i made a big batch of the sugars and bitters, weighed out with a gram scale, and put an equal amount in each glass (also to the gram) so the only difference would be the type of bourbon. I had my wife weigh out the bourbon and mix it up so i had no idea which was which. I drank each one (not a full glass, like 1/3 of a full ****tail so i wasn’t totally annihilated by the end. The results. I could recognize immediately the one with Makers, which i like, possibly due to familiarity. The other 2 winners were the Bullit and Woodford Double Oak. I did not like the Knob Creek or the Basil Haydens. I know from prior experience that I like Basil’s a lot when i drink it neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
