Yeah, this one is high on my list. They don't sell it in Virginia.

Good whisky sponsored the recent solo row across the Atlantic:
This morning, the Biden administration removed the tariff on Scotch, as well as other things coming from the UK. Trump had imposed the tariffs in 2019.
Sláinte!
(though I read that the actual language is "suspended" the tariffs for 4 months while they resolve the primary dispute)

^ Yep, thanks.

So, I am finally finishing the stunning selection of malts that was lucky enough to receive as gifts from my friends at my 50th - nigh on 6 years ago to the day.
(there's another story from that day - a fabulous record by the Colin Steele Quintet, a record about angels who come to show us light, even in the darkest places)
So, today, I have ordered a 15 year old Mortlach, an 18 year old Glenmorangie, & a 25 year old Glenfarclas.
My tastes run to Speyside, & from experience, these are amongst the greatest of the Speyside malts.
Then there was a thing - for years & years, my wife has been looking to get old 1910/1920s wide based, low rimmed, slightly filigreed, champagne/cocktail glasses...& the guys who were selling me my whisky were selling *exactly* these glasses!
Arrived in the post today...

Robin - A few years back we did a Scottish night (4 of us) and the Glenmorangie 18 was our bottle besides a ton of craft ales...the 18 lasted about an hour or maybe less. I think it was good
I've drunk each of these three, but only ever by the glass, in pubs in Edinburgh.Robin - A few years back we did a Scottish night (4 of us) and the Glenmorangie 18 was our bottle besides a ton of craft ales...the 18 lasted about an hour or maybe less. I think it was good
The Glenmorangie 18 is probably - possibly - my favourite. It bears little resemblance to the 10 — the complexity of the flavours, the roundedness in the mouth, the way it just stays & stays as aftertastes.
For a long time, the Macallan was the prince of whiskies in Scotland, & the older ones were the best of the very best. I think that this is no longer the case - indeed, there's a feeling that there's a noticeable decline in quality in their older whiskies. By contrast, Glenfarclas, which is more or less next door, is a throwback. Aside from the experiment with the 105 cask strength, they've produced the same whiskies, from the same sorts of casks, presented with the same labels, for decades. The distillery has been in the same family for six generations. For many, the 21 is the epitome (& the 15 is superb). But the 21 is currently hard to get, & the 25 is magnificent.
Mortlach is very little known - but it's a fine whisky, especially in the 15. Plus, I'm a sucker for the old Gordon & McPhail label!
I'll report back, Frankie, when I'm on my way!
Absolutely!!! In the 90's Macallan was from far my fave, but they've fallen from their pedestal, especially with their latest (new) expressions. It's been 20 years that I've even seen a 21 yo bottle on offer/sale, so I'm not even sure they bottle it anymore.
It may be also that in the last 10/15 years, my tastes have evoved away from Speyside malts to more profound Northern Jighlands malts.
In the Speyside, i tend to prefer Aberlour nowadays - just finished a cram of Casg Annamh - lovely stuff!
