Once you mix it doesn’t really make much difference in taste. Just get the cheaper stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just picked up some Ardbeg Wee Beastie last week which is a 5-year Scotch. Granted it is cheaper than their older Scotches. How do you like it? I’m down to my last bottle of the 10yr (stocked up when it went on sale a few months back) and I’m planning to buy a Wee Beastie when I’m out.

It's okay, but not nearly as good as the 10 year. You can tell it's a young whiskey. Too young. 1 hour ago, HOF44 said: This pretty much. Once you mix it doesn’t really make much difference in taste.

As you'd expect from a 5 year, it's not quite as good as it's 10 year counterpart, but it still very much tastes like an Ardbeg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely the worst whiskey ever made. Buy at your own peril. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the game Dfitz and Karla were at where he first tried GTS? He was a whiskey drinker but not used to high proof, high quality spirits. He drank a LOT of GTS because it’s so smooth compared to the proof. He didn’t wake up until after halftime. He was banned from the back of the truck from then on. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember my first pour of GTS, and you asked me to "guess the proof" I think I said 115, or something like that. It was 134 proof 🤯 The "back of the truck" is/was my favorite bar. Ever! More high quality whiskey flowed out of the back of your truck, than is available at most bars. What was the name of that bar in Lexington, where we drank those flights?

I reached into my pocket and discovered handfuls of tailgate food I had been stuffing in there without realizing it. Yes, Karla is a saint. She still warns me not to get too close to you if there's whiskey around. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
