And...

I’m not good at this as I’m still learning.

As I said previously the regular falls flat.
Store pick is much more pleasant, balanced
The barrel proof is like a high test version of the regular but yet more balanced.
Something in the regular over powers everything else but I can’t place my finger (or tongue if you will) on it. Almost like it isn’t a wheater, as it’s too harsh and not buttery.
The store pick doesn’t have that upfront abrasiveness much more delicate so you get some other experiences.
The barrel proof give you a bit of caramel and is more enjoyable than the other two even with the higher proof.

I’m not a person who eats tobacco, leather, oak or other odd descriptors. If it’s chocolate, cinnamon or caramel I can relate.

However stay tuned you’ll be particularly entertained by my 46, two (maybe more by the time I get around to it) Private Select’s and a RC6 tasting I should be doing this summer.

I've never had the 10. How is it? I'm about to pour a glass myself!

Cheers, mate.
It’s an airport dutyfree-only bottling. My wife is British and I picked it up on the way back from the in-laws last year. It’s good—a bit more aggressive on the peat and smoke since it is younger.

Cheers Brother!

Love the smoky/peaty Isla’s. I was always a big fan of the Lagavulin 16. Never tried or even knew there was a 10.

One of my favorite whiskeys to sip on is Chivas Regal, this is an 18-year instead of the 12-year, which hasn’t been opened yet!

At my old home games, we used to call that whisky "Glen Scrotum". The best of both worlds, whisky and poker...

Glen Scotia is definitely a favorite here. Congrats on that outstanding expression!

Had some Weller 107 tonight for the first time in a long time. So much better than the Barrel Proof Larceny

I do fancy me a good scotch, I don't do Glenfiddich normally, but this one caught my eye...and hurt my wallet..

As soon as kiddo goes down for bed , I'll crack this tonight. Experimental for sure. It's 18 year stuff as I understand it.

Oh and of course...straight up on the rocks, no other way for me

....Oh and of course...straight up on the rocks, no other way for me

That's "on the rocks", but it's not "straight up".

Ahhhhhhh, a discerning conneseur would know, the ice makes it a mixed drink.

I stand corrected, "on the rocks"

Love the Dickel, but you gotta up the ice game.

Ice is my favorite mixer!
