View attachment 1388323The Bordeaux wine finishing is very unique and quite a bit different from sherry, but it really works well with this whiskey! Bumping the proof to 92 is greatly appreciated also. This is a bit more savory over the Lusteau. You really get the wine influence on the nose and finish in this one. Glad I rolled the dice and grabbed this one!

Which of the two do you like better?Only logical choice to follow RB CSView attachment 1388377
That’s a tough call. They’re very close but I think the extra age on the RB takes it over the top. Definitely get a little more oak over the Blue. I honestly think that Blue would be lights out if it was aged for 12+ years.Which of the two do you like better?
I’ll bet it’s good. Try it!Anyone ever make an old fashioned with Laphroaig? Or another peaty scotch?
I’ll bet it’s good. Try it!
The only scotch cocktails I’ve had are rusty nail and Penicillin.

I said I didn’t like scotch and I I found that I do like unpeated single malts. I knew eventually I was gonna have to try some peated offerings so when I ran across this on clearance marked down to $40 from $75, and well, you know how it goes.
Here’s the short of it…this is really fucking good #facepalm Love the smoke that fills the glass but doesn’t kill the other notes on the nose and palate!
There’s a lot going on in there and it’s gonna take a few more pours to really pick out what’s in there, but first impression is I just completely fucked myself
