    Thanks Grant. How does the Glengoyne 21 compare to the 25? There is a massive price hike for 4 years....

    the 21 is fabulous too tbh(as is their 18 of which ive a bottle)... a bit spicier and longer finish too by a fair bit.. obviously not as great as the 25 but its a lot closer than the price suggests..Glendronach do an 18 and a 21 as well that are both well regarded. ive not tried the 21, but the 18(old Alardice) is very good too and about same price area to the goyne 18..

    Yes it was a tenner from a local Oddbins that I was also surprised to see open.

    In my opinion the best whiskeys I have ever had come from Scotland and Ireland, something about the slower aging in the cask makes them less bold in color than American whiskey's but there is more separation in the flavors and they retain there citrus and floral smells and flavors even when aged over 2 decades, American Bourbon becomes very dark in both color and flavors ,chocolate,leather .ect..
    The stuff from Grants side of the pond is just more delicate and refined. Not saying I don't like a good bourbon they are just very different from one another.
    Grant, what bottle of Glenfarclas is a good place to understand their flavor profile, for example I recommend the Redbreast 12 year cask with a little water or the regular 12 year for Redbreast drinkers as I think it represents the flavor profile of the brand better than the 15 year or Lustau. I have turned 3 people on to Redbreast this way. I have to be careful not to cause to much demand or like so many other things I liked it will be out of my reach.

    Ooh, you'll be in trouble now. Referring to Scotch as 'whiskey'!

    Ok fair enough Whisky.
    Anything distilled from gain is whisky if in America whiskey.
    The Scotts have taken it to a whole other level and in the early 90's a bottle of 21 year McClellan proved that point to me forever.
    I was able to buy 3 bottles in my like but stopped drinking whiskey for a long time when prices sky rocketed here.
    A bottle of Redbreast 12 brought me back in, and since my pantry is becoming a liquor cabinet.
