Any whisky folks on this here site? Arran is always a fave distillery of mine. This one is nicknamed the Bodega and is a delicious sherry cask offering bottled at cask strength. Punchy and fruity. Also quite well priced.
@fuse good to know - thanks! I am also a big big fan of bourbon. Most whiskies to be honest haha. What is your regular go-to?
@brucefraser Eagle Rare and Jefferson Ocean Aged at Sea. Also enjoy Knob Creek 9, and Russel 10 year. Where I live its hard to get expensive/rare bottles.
@fuse I have a pretty solid collection going and try to pick up a bottle whenever I'm traveling. I live in eastern Canada and a lot of bourbons are hard to get up here. Big fan of the ER, KC, and that Russell 10 is fantastic.
@brucefraser Evan Williams single barrel has also been great, and is now hard to find. Michters is another one I like.
@fuse both are great. Michter's has been hard to find but their regular line up sometimes makes on shelves. good stuff. I especially like the Toasted Barrel.
A great whiskey
@LSWellesley it really is delicious. My first intro to Arran was the sadly discontinued 14 year old. Such a huge fruity nose on them.
@brucefraser @LSWellesley I think I've had Arran, but not in this country. My preference is for heavily peated Scotch. Port Charlotte is one of my favorites, and usually very reasonably priced. (And I was introduced to Connemara peated single malt Irish whiskey in Dublin this summer, which I also quite enjoyed.) There are definitely whisky drinkers here.
@Notokay I am also a peathead - Laphroaig being my all-time favourite distillery. I've only had the Port Charlotte 10 in that range before, great stuff. Also enjoy the peated Irish like Connemara which are a bit lighter and sweeter. @LSWellesley
@brucefraser more of a bourbon than a scotch person. Can’t say I am familiar. A few folks use the hashtag #spirited when talking about what liquor they enjoy.
