D Rich I agree with you. It will be in everyone’s top bourbon by end of the year. But I believe we get very different notes from the same bottle. I wonder if this laser code is a real thing. But great review keep up the great work 👍🏾.
This is a huge winner! Love Lagavulin and Ardbeg - favourites - nothing comes close to Lagavulin 16! It was my gateway to scotch! Love peated scotch! This is a reasonably priced Ardbeg special release which is wonderful! Great review!
I got lucky and was drawn for this too bro!! So happy. Great review. I love it. It’s opened up since I cracked it a couple weeks ago. Cherry cola, charred oak, spicy orange zest. Heaven in a glass my dude!! Cheers!!!!
Good review sir.! Ive been wanting to try this but has not been available in my area. Love the cask./ barrel proofs. I'm with you. If i want to add water, I will. Dont like water being the main note!
Jr is a store pick. It's not your regular Batch. What's the proof on your Stagg Jr? I do not own a GTS, but have tried 2Jrs. They are some of my favorite pours.
I'm in NC and our ABC stores have a very limited selections of Scotch's I was blown away when I happened into a small out of the way store and found a 14.1 for like $230.00, I'm still waiting to crack it open.. I wonder if you paid like 350.00 if the price has gone up that much or it's your location, still at that price it beats the Dark Arts 8.1 at $525.00 which I saw last week.
Man Drich. I just do not like Tequila cask whiskies. Lol. I've tried that one and the Deanston. All I taste is the Tequila. Everything else Lagavulin I love. Good review though.
Offerman has visited Lagavulin. He is a huge scotch fan. I love the 3rd Offerman expression. I prefer the 16 or the Distiller’s Edition but this is a beauty!
Congratulations! I have yet to try a GTS, but that's just due to not trying hard to find it in the wild. It's always a pleasure to hear about your experiences! Sounds amazing! Cheers!
I’ve had that bottle for about 9 months & have yet to pop it. It being JD’s first American single malt makes me wanna hold onto it & see if the value goes up. I’m definitely excited to open it up when the occasion calls. Great review cheers 🥃
I was lucky to have a few pours of this a few months ago and I thought it was awesome. Wish I could have found a bottle. Some didn't like it so much but I figured it's because of their personal expectations from JD or they don't enjoy scotch. One probably wouldn't have expected a single malt from them. Cool vid. 💯
I'm definitely irresponsible as well - just paid 136.99 in Michigan for this one. Wasn't hunting it, but was talked into it by another hunter in the store. First 'cigar blend' I've tried, and I really enjoyed it. Love your reviews!
