Since I ran out of CO2 to push my ciders and beers.....I'm drinking a cheap merlot with a finger of some cheapish cooking whiskey I keep around. Saving a nice bottle of cupcake wine for Christmas, I'll probably go get more CO2 after that....cause the vodka is almost gone also. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "The trouble with our Liberal friends...is not that they're ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so."

  Picked these up tonight. I'm having the Lagavulin right now. And it's true it doesn't need water to open it up. Nice out of the bottle. __________________________ They keep saying they just want "sensible gun laws" but they hold up countries where they are banned and confiscated as their ideal.

I really need to try some Springbank. Every time I see one of those bottles on this thread I'm soooo tempted. I almost picked up a bottle at the liquor store the other day but went with a Speyside instead. How does the Springbank compare to a Highland or a Speyside? I notice that you like Islay Scotches as well, and ism not a very big fan of strongly peaty Scotches so I wonder how I'd like the Springbank. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

Springbank has three releases: Springbank, Longrow, and Hazleburn. Hazleburn is completely non-peated, Springbank barley spends 6 hours over peat smoke and Longrow barley spends 48 hours over peat smoke. Regular springbank is very low on the peat flavor. I would classify Springbank 12 (Green) as having a similar amount of peat as Oban 14 or Old Pulteney, but slightly richer, and only having a single dram of Hazleburn, would put it between a Talisker and a Ardbeg. | |||

Thank you. It sounds like regular Springbank is definitely worth a try for me, while Longrow probably is not as I'm not a fan of Ardbeg (the Scotch not the SIGforum member  ). The price seemed very reasonable too. I'll pick up a bottle soon. Thanks again.“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

When they got rid go Johnnie Walker Green, they immediately thought the sales of Blue and Gold would skyrocket, but they didn't. This led the the release of JW Platinum, but it doesn't hold a candle to either Green or Gold. Essentially they have a bottling not many care for in either the quality, value or price point. I heard a bottle of JW Green went for about $40 shy of Blue last month in one of the area whisky clubs. Hope your dad like that Blue, it is an interesting dram. | |||
