Bullit. We can get Bullit here, not sure of age tho. I had a bottle years ago but gave it away as a present so never actually tried it.Quote:

So far the best stocks of Rye go into Redemption because it is their own brand name. They even have a 18 year old Redemption Rye but it is expensive and hard to come by.

I heard Templeton were building one. Dunno how it's going tho.Quote:

Tomatin 12yr old.
Last of this bottle hence its a big un [emoji23]
All the gals like a big unhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9caa9e891b.jpg
although finished in sherry for 6 months, this is really all about bourbon cask selection for me.. top dog considering price
Paul John select Cask “Peated” Indian Single malt for me.
55.5% non chill filtered. No artificial colours or flavours.
TASTING NOTES
EYE
Light amber
NOSE
Peat, pears, fresh banana, savory spice, honey, malt and toasted pastries with a light floral note.
PALATE
Peat, pears, banana, spice, honey, roasted malt and a touch of acetone and a soft fruit candy sweetness.
FINISH
Long -> Orchard fruit, banana, smoke and vanilla candy.
BALANCE, BODY & FEEL
Good sense of balance, full body and a soft oily feel.
Do I agree with that? Mostly. Not sure I am getting the acetone, which in my book is a good thing.
This is not what I was expecting from a peated malt. A pleasant surprise, as the peat is not too overpowering, allowing the other subtle flavours to come through.
