MACS wrote:Thoughts? I love the doublewood 12. I have not tried the 12 doublewood but have the 17 offering. IMO the doublewood is a bolder, spicier pour while the sherry cask is going to be some what smoother. One will notice the sherry influence right from the start, some spice but not to the extent of the doublewood. I would rate the 15 s/cask probably at a 4 out of 5. If one is looking for an in your face pour, this is not it. Will say that this is a bottle that will stay in the rotation. |

If we get there early enough my wife and I will have an opportunity to purchase (1) bottle per person from the list below. We're definitely wanting to get our hands on a bottle of ETL, just not sure about the second pick ( should we be so lucky ) but leaning toward the Thomas H Handy. What would yous guys recommend? Those highlighted Blue we have @ least one bottle. Virtually none of the others have I tried.

Laphroaig PX Cask....
I don't think I can get behind this Laphroaig thing. I normally like sherried scotch. Even some that taste like peat. Fortunately this was just a 2oz sample but it just wasn't like... good.
Laphroaig fans... please explain this to me! |
