Hey, if you're actually here and come to where I live, I'll get a bottle of 12 for the occasion.

You fucks better wait for me

I'll be out near you in June or July, Patrick.

Oh Maaaaasterpiece

Method's bringing whiiiisky, I have a 12 pack of coooondoooms

Masterpiece · « **Reply #255 on:** 10 Mar 2015, 09:41 »

I'll bring the lube

Method of Madness · « **Reply #256 on:** 10 Mar 2015, 12:26 »

So last night I had a cocktail made of rye, coconut water and bitters. It was gods damn delicious. The bitters perfectly balanced the sweetness.

I believe Beopuppy has been here before.

BeoPuppy · « **Reply #258 on:** 19 Mar 2015, 09:12 »

Hell yes, and I left 200 euros lighter than I went in.

So ... what was your damage?

(God, I love that shop.)

Masterpiece · « **Reply #259 on:** 19 Mar 2015, 09:27 »

~70€

Method of Madness · « **Reply #260 on:** 19 Mar 2015, 10:33 »

Was that where you got the Lagavulin 12?

Masterpiece · « **Reply #261 on:** 19 Mar 2015, 11:01 »

For some reason the 12 matured to a 16 while I wasn't looking. I apparently bought the wrong one.

No, you've actually been in suspended animation for the past four years. Welcome to the future!

(We've got fun and games)

BeoPuppy · « **Reply #263 on:** 19 Mar 2015, 11:35 »

That would be the jungle, baby. You're going to die.

Still, good scotch. Did you enjoy the shop?

Masterpiece · « **Reply #264 on:** 19 Mar 2015, 13:46 »

I really liked the lady working there. She was great.

Oh wow I didn't know I wrote this. Damnit.

Just came here to write that I tasted the Lagavulin and DAMN IT'S SMOOTH

thedevilissix · « **Reply #267 on:** 05 Apr 2015, 08:15 »

I fear cries from you all of "Shun the non-believer! Shuuuuun!" when it comes to my tastes in Scotch, because I like them to be more sweet than with peat. Glenmorangie, Glenmorangie Lasanta and Auchentoshan are particular favourites of mine.
If any water's administered at all, it is really a splash. Split second splash!

pwhodges · « **Reply #268 on:** 05 Apr 2015, 12:29 »

Water? Water?

Tsk!

And Lagavulin is my favourite, though I have Singleton (a Speyside) in my hand right now.

thedevilissix · « **Reply #269 on:** 08 Apr 2015, 06:15 »

I knowww

In my defence it is sparing if at all!
My friend had a two-weeks-late Burns Night party at hers this year and I think (!) I remember trying Lagavulin '16 (neat) and actually quite liking it. Going against type is occasionally good!

Active Madness · « **Reply #270 on:** 12 Apr 2015, 05:38 »

I was given a bottle of the Lagavulin 12 for my birthday last year. It was definitely smooth, quite lovely.

I've got to admit I have a real thing for Laphroaig Quarter cask. I bought myself a bottle two years ago as a break-up present. There's just something about the smokiness I enjoy.

Other than that, I don't know much about Scotch, to be honest. I've had Chivas and recently bought myself a bottle of "Monkey Shoulder". No idea what that's going to be like.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #271 on:** 12 Apr 2015, 06:01 »

I'm really loving the trend of reusing whiskey barrels to age beer. The only downside is it almost ruins non-barrel aged beer for me.

Patrick · « **Reply #272 on:** 12 Apr 2015, 13:47 »

Been telling y'all, Lag 12 is the tits

Ohh yeah. Definite case in point for me is Brewdog's Paradox (Isle of Arran) beer which I believe is brewed in Jura barrels. (Being that they're a Scottish company, I wouldn't expect any less!)
It's 15% proof too, so in honesty I don't think it'd be wise to drink any other beer after that...!

Method of Madness · « **Reply #274 on:** 13 Apr 2015, 16:07 »

Drinking a glass of Lagavulin 16 in my backyard, on a beautiful spring evening. Fuck lots of things in my life, but this...this is good.

BeoPuppy · « **Reply #275 on:** 02 May 2015, 04:39 »

Just got major league paid for a painting. Going into town now for scotch and cigars.

One's priorities are truly well constructed, one feels.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #276 on:** 02 May 2015, 09:54 »

Can you write them off as a business expense if they help you paint your next painting?

BeoPuppy · « **Reply #277 on:** 03 May 2015, 01:30 »

'Help' is a big word. 'Hinderance' might be more accurate.

Anyway. A Port Charlotte was bought. It's old and from an independant bottler so it was horribly expensive. Haven't opened it yet but I drank some in the store and it is manna from heaven for those enamoured of Islay.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #278 on:** 03 May 2015, 05:37 »

Can I have some?

BeoPuppy · « **Reply #279 on:** 03 May 2015, 05:39 »

Sure. Come on over.

Thrillho · « **Reply #280 on:** 03 May 2015, 07:11 »

Puppy has good taste in wine

Method of Madness · « **Reply #281 on:** 29 Dec 2015, 17:18 »

Laphraoigs Triple Wood. Bought a bottle for my dad for Xmas, and it's so good. Drinking some now.

sitnspin · « **Reply #282 on:** 29 Dec 2015, 17:50 »

Is it better than the Lapgroaig 10 Year Old? I was not a fan of that one.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #283 on:** 29 Dec 2015, 17:58 »

I've only tried the 10 year old once, a few years ago, and I remember liking it. But this one was so much better.

pwhodges · « **Reply #284 on:** 30 Dec 2015, 00:07 »

I've just been given a bottle of Glen Moray, which is apparently a peaty Speyside. This will be a new experience for me.

celticgeek · « **Reply #285 on:** 30 Dec 2015, 07:50 »

Laphroaig Triple Wood has become my favourite for drinking, if my store has it available.

Edit: added Triple Wood for clarity.

Thrillho · « **Reply #286 on:** 31 Dec 2015, 08:48 »

Laphroaig is everywhere I go and I never, ever like it.

sitnspin · « **Reply #287 on:** 31 Dec 2015, 09:32 »

I've been drinking Glenmorangie lately and am finding it quite enjoyable.

Thrillho · « **Reply #288 on:** 31 Dec 2015, 10:41 »

I drank a Japanese whisky around Christmas called Hakushu I think, and it was divine.

Triple Wood is so much better than regular (10 year) Laphroaig.

I have been gifted...

Method of Madness · « **Reply #291 on:** 04 Jan 2016, 03:03 »

Nice. I've always wanted to try that.

Grognard · « **Reply #292 on:** 04 Jan 2016, 20:02 »

the 70 proof sneaks up on ya.

Skewbrow · « **Reply #293 on:** 31 Dec 2016, 14:16 »

Honoring the beginning of a new year with a freshly opened bottle of Laphroaig Lore. Softer than regular Laphroaig, but I will be enjoying this ~~purchase~~ investment to my happiness.

Sláinte! And a Happy New Year! (fifteen minutes into it in my time zone)

celticgeek · « **Reply #294 on:** 31 Dec 2016, 14:57 »

Oh yeah. Laphroaig anything is really good stuff.

pwhodges · « **Reply #295 on:** 31 Dec 2016, 15:26 »

Having just poured the last from a bottle of Caol Ila 12yo my choice for the New Year will be whether to open the Laphroaig Select or the Lagavulin Limited Edition next

Method of Madness · « **Reply #296 on:** 04 Jan 2017, 20:17 »

So fucking good, and very reasonably priced!

sitnspin · « **Reply #297 on:** 05 Jan 2017, 12:15 »

Glenfiddich is always a good choice for me. It tends to be my go to.

Bunnahabhain? So you be westering home? It's ok, but when I tried it out my favorite was still Talisker, and ... I think Islay can offer better ones

But, degustibus non est disputandum.

Tova · « **Reply #299 on:** 16 Jan 2017, 17:57 »

I am a big fan of Talisker myself. That's my default choice.

At the moment, though, I am gradually working my way through a lovely bottle of Nikka Whisky From the Barrel.
