46 is brighter and has a huge sherry/red fruit explosion to me. 47 is more complex but comes off more toffee to me. I like them both but think I prefer 46.

Ralfy is a dude that lives on the Isle of Man and video reviews scotch (and other whisky). His opinion is just like anyone else's but the dude knows his stuff and is interesting.

Google or YouTube ralfy and a brand of scotch.

He bags on 48 but loves older batches.

Anyone ever had Bullyboy? My bro in law just got back from Boston and brought back a bunch of growlers from breweries there and a bottle of white lightning from the local distillery there. He said that they let him taste the brown whiskey but were out of 750s of it so he brought back a bottle of the white. Looks like our Turkey day whiskey this year to go with some nice brews.

Funny thing is, first it was "red" then later admitted it was "yellow" but still a ticket. Yeah I'm opposed to slamming on brakes to maybe stop in time when my daughter is eating in the truck. I will be fighting this one.

had the white whiskey/bourbon, not a profile I seek but some may love it. Way strong corn liquor taste and smell IIRC.
I like the story though, couple of guys found old equipment in a barn on family farm in Sudbury or some other MA town that their grandfather or great grandfather used to make legal booze. Blah blah blah...

You should be! This place is awesome. I ate dinner in a restaurant and right in front of me is a bar full of every kind of bourbon you can think of, including multiple bottles of each year of Pappy.

Thanks for the info. I am not really big on the corn whiskey myself but I am gonna give this one a taste just because. Just finished a growler from Idle Hands Craft Ales the other day and it was a good beer. I hear there are lots of breweries in close range there.

No kidding. I'm hitting up a couple distilleries on Friday and a couple more shpos tonight. I'm hoping to find some HTF stuff before I shell out my arm and leg for one drink.

So far I've found Elmer T Lee, Willett Family Reserve is everywhere here. I'm hoping to find Weller 12, Pappy has to be somewhere, and maybe some other distillery exclusives.

Idle Hands is just outside of Boston in Everett, also Night Shift is there. But there really are a bunch concentrated within a 20 mile radius of the city. Some are more daring, some stay close to the norm. There's one about five miles from me (Blue Hills Brewery) that is not a big risk taker but makes some good stuff. Had a chocolate porter from them last night.

Sorry, I know I stretched this out on the wrong forum. Maybe you'll like the whiskey.

the more I have the more I think it is a good intro to Highland scotch, but not worth a near premium price. there are better and more complex than this for less, that said I like this and it is very drinkable.

This was my first scotch, a gift I thoroughly enjoyed. 1st bottle I bought was around $40. Went to get one as a gift recently & it had climbed above $60.

I paid 53. It sounds like I'm knocking it but I do like it. Went to their site and saw lots of old fans upset that the 12 year had apparently been changed...so I guess it depends on how long ago you had that bottle if it's the same as what I have now.
