Saturday, March 2, 2013 - Wow... best whisky I have tasted in my entire life
The "gang" got together and brought all their favourites, including Glenmorangie, Lagavulin 12 yr, Glenlivet 18 yr and Bunnahabhain 25 yr. This thing blew them all away (I will say the Bunnahabhain was terrific tho - I'd definitely give it a solid second.
Unbelievably rich, exotic, dynamic, on both the nose and palate - and the finish is wonderful, amazing, and everlasting. Even tho it is bottled at cask strength (104), you cannot discern the alcohol, it is totally integrated.
I ran out to find another bottle immediately after our tasting session - I never want to run out of this!

The Scottish spirit contains no "e"; the actual spelling is "whisky". It is the Irish product (whiskey) that contains an "e". Produce of other countries are merely imitations.
The only thing I can recommend is to keep drinking the stuff....practice makes perfect!
Incidentally, you should never call anything from Scotland "Scotch" - that moniker is preserved solely for the aforementioned drink. Items, other than the spirit, which originate in Scotland are called "Scots", or "Scottish" - never "Scotch".
Never let it be said that the Scots are mean....one has just given you a free lesson - I hope you enjoyed it!
