This was a response to a couple of questions one of the club members sent me a while back :-) First, the Martini. Be warned, if you are not a big drinker a Martini is a BAD starting place for real c

$70 for the 12 yo. Is the 16 yo twice as good?

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

Just got one to try out first. 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!

this guy is a bit cheesy but is quite accurate in his reviews...

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?

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. :(

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

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)

Dalwhinnie, Old Pulteney, and Glengoyne are worth a try especially if you're not after a heavy smokey peated flavour.

need to see if I can get some miniature of theses - really hard to find them here in Oz

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!

Had a mate who did it with skittles. 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.

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!

      Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.

      Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.

      Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
