Missileman Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 well that's difficult to answer, it depends on your palate, buy the 12yo and if you like that then go for the bottle of 16 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/426931-the-drunks-reference/page/8/#findComment-7056177 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it goes down well - I'll find out soon enough. Review looks great but I'll watch it after I taste it first so I'm not prejudiced. Thanks heaps for the link though! 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/426931-the-drunks-reference/page/8/#findComment-7057700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ants Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 this guy is a bit cheesy but is quite accurate in his reviews... http://youtu.be/gH8xeWkoOrM Ralfy is a legend.......I have seen most of vids and can describe the quality of various SMW including other spirits so that most can easily understand. Also, Tony how do you describe anCnoc 12yo and what do you rate it outa 10?

t5iv Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Description: Yummy! Out of 10: Price: 8 Quality: 7 Value for money 9/10 It's really good considering that it's only $70! The problem that I''ve had with it is that I haven't had a proper sit down tasting. Been rushed every time.

The problem that I''ve had with it is that I haven't had a proper sit down tasting. Been rushed every time. good stuff. May have to give it a go. U need to find time to really enjoy such prestigious moments to truly unravel what each dram is like.......which I know is very hard to have when your busy One Whisky I highly recommend is Highland Park 12yo The most northernest Scottish distillery which has truly wonderful and rather unique flavours compared to other mainland SMW distilleries. It's a available at DM for less than $70 and is truly a hit for people that enjoy a fine Havana due to its smokiness, honey heather, and sweetness that lasts and lasts.......just beautiful Did I mention it also happens to be rated a 90/100 at the WWA! Try it before you die. I will be back to give some feedback on other SMW Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/426931-the-drunks-reference/page/8/#findComment-7066081 Share on other sites More sharing options...
t5iv Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Funny you say that. I've been eyeing off the highland park but saw it for 150 at dm. Wrong one?

Ants Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Funny you say that. I've been eyeing off the highland park but saw it for 150 at dm. Wrong one? that one would be its 18yo brother aka 'the best spirit in the world'.................................................and I kind of have to agree with that statement. I will elaborate on that in more detail later I have 3 bottles of it at home. A classic one and two modern ones (they are the same really, with the exception of the bottle shape - however I do think there is a subtle difference in flavour which may just be due to its processing maturity) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/426931-the-drunks-reference/page/8/#findComment-7066091 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missileman Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Dalwhinnie, Old Pulteney, and Glengoyne are worth a try especially if you're not after a heavy smokey peated flavour.

Bunta Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Tried something new the other day. I don't really like bourbon but I really liked Blantons. The special reserve at Dan Murphys is 50 bucks and it is just delicious.

KING87 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Gave the New Zealand double wood 12yr a go the other day and not too bad at all very smooth. Also a special mention to the redskin vodka. Bottle of vodka throw a few redskins in lid on and in the dishwasher for a cycle then in the freezer for a cool down. Very easy drinking!

He was anal and would separate the colours and then he'd have a few bottles of vodka all in different colours. Bishes loved it.

Missileman Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Bought a bottle of Dalwhinnie last week and fcuking yum, a little sweet but with a mild smokey peat body, finish is very crisp with slightly a vanilla flavour.
