Today's Scotch

Once it comes out of the cask and is bottled, assuming it is not exposed to direct sunlight, scotch will neither improve nor deteriorate.
The good news is, Macallan is pretty darn good already.

I was pretty sure of the answer, but had to ask. The guy who gave me the bottle use to give me three bottle each fall for watching his house. I kept the last one after he died.
Not much of a Scotch drinker but in memory of a h.s. classmate that suddenly passed away last night - Lagavulin 16.
To my DMHS, Class of '73 brother, John "Mr. FBI / Operation Bullpen" Ferreira, RIP my friend! Hope the salmon are biting and the crabs overflowing your nets up there....

Glenfidditch 12 is all apple and pear. Simple, straightforward, inexpensive goodness to me. I always have a bottle opened here at the house.

It's too early on Sunday morning for me to get the spelling right.
I like all of the Glenfiddich line, especially the 18 though I have to admit I did not care for the Snow Phoenix.It’s gotten hard to find. Headed to Scotland in 2 weeks and it’s on my list to hunt for.
By the way, for those who go, you have to go to Dufftown. A half dozen distilleries there, including Glen Fiddich and Balvenie, and Glen Livet is near by. Dozens more in the area.
The Balvenie Castle, also in Dufftown is one of the better ruins you can tour.
But the coolest thing there is the Speyside Cooperage where they reassemble the Kentucky bourbon barrels that had been broken down for shipping...amazing to witness.
If you want to learn about scotch, this is Mecca. Stay at the Downans Hotel in Aberlour. The pic is of part of their collection of scotches.

Picked this up today, a new one to me:
I haven’t had the Laphroaig 10 in a while...too many, so little time...but in comparison, I’d say this one is every so slightly sweeter, with spiced, floral notes; a rounder, gentler mouthfeel, and more depth of flavor. Oak is present but not assertive, nor is smoke. It finishes with notes suggesting mature hay or fall leaves. Nice.
