Picked up a bottle of The Balvenie Caribbean Cask this morning. Now I have to wait until this evening to try it.

(Might belong in the First World Problems thread.)

Definitely like the carribean cask, its good stuff. I like the single barrel 15 year too, but that bottle is not as widely liked by many.

Wow, nice. Definite toffey/butterscotch tones. Meaty, too. Makes the Glenlivet 12 seem a little thin in comparison. Nice long, warm finish, too.

Nice - glad you enjoyed it...reminds me I need to pick up another bottle.

I've been thinking back to past scotches I've enjoyed; for some reason the Dalmore 10 year old stood out. It was cheap (edit - in relation to other decent single malts - like $50) and one of the first that got me hooked...I think its probably just nostalgia is why I like it. I bet if I tried it now I might not think it is as good as I remember.

But I can't try it because I can never find it up here. Very odd. Do you have the Dalmore down there? Normally has a picture of antlers on it as I recall. If you've ever had it, be interested in what you think seeing as how I cannot find it.

I wondered if this would be a mistake and it was. This is some really good stuff.

I just can't justify buying it too often.

I'll look for the Dalmore 10.

Oh shit, did you know you are my new favorite poster? You have a sense of humor, which is so strange thing in an American. I'll make you except my friend invitation soon, since your kind is a dead breed.

I'm still laughing at that one.

Well I'm American but went to a European college and I'm Greek with European friends plus I'm addicted to German stuff and want to move to Europe soon so maybe my sense of humor and relaxed nature is because I'm an honorary European.

We have to be careful to not interfere with these guys scotch thread.

Hey, I'm a Finn, that gives me the credentials enough to talk about everything and nothing if the word alcohol is mentioned above.

Glenfiddich, that's my poison.

I've never heard of that but I have very limited experience with scotch or other hard liquors. I'm going to the liquor store this week to explore some new options mostly trying to find the ones I've read about in this thread. I have to try some liquor because I've tried every brand of wine available in my town haha.

Hey Joekerr, I picked up a bottle of Dalmore 12 today. It came with a 50ml sample of a bottling they call Cigar Malt Reserve. Very good indeed. I need to find a full bottle of this somewhere. I'll let you know how the Dalmore 12 goes. I like the color, though. Very deep and rich looking.

EDIT: The Dalmore 12 is also very good. I like it. Thanks for the recommendation, Joekerr.

Nice - glad to hear you enjoyed it! I'll be down in Florida in June, my guess is I'll be able to find it there and bring some back with me then.

Had a couple of drinks with my nephew the 1st Shirt last night. I went for Balvenie Doublewood. Very tasty.

One of the bottles I'm currently drinking is the Highland Park 12 yr...I think a previous poster also mentioned this one.

Its an interesting one - normally, after a glass or two I have an opinion on the scotch I'm drinking. But with this one, it really was mixed. Honestly couldn't tell you whether I liked it or didn't...just different.

But went back to it a few nights later and I found I enjoyed it more that time. I think its starting to grow on me; I can't say its my favourite by any means, that generally belongs to a Macallan, but I'd buy it again if I couldn't find a Macallan at that time (they're priced at a similar point).

On a different note, one of the scotches I've tried that I would put close to the Macallans in terms of how I like it (just not for sale up here, had to get it from the States) is the Glenmorangie 18 year old (Extremely Rare label). But its pricey.

Just in case M Six is looking to splurge sometime

I had a Glenmorangie 10 at Bemelman's the other night. It was good. They also had Macallan. I should have tried that.
