winelover Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Mine is a toss-up between Springbank 12 yo cask strength and Bruichladdich Bere Barley 2006. The laddie ever so slightly edges it for me. Enticing nose, gorgeous appetising cerealy mouthful and very soft and fresh on the palette with a 10 to 15 second finish that reverberates long after . What was yours and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louich Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Oban distliers edition, there is a citrus zest finish I have never tasted in anyother dram. Tha Bruichladdich Bere Barley 07 of the Dunlossit farm for the cereal and salty taste profile and last but not least an Old malt cask of Laphroaig 12 yro bottle at 50% ( 387bottles only) simply because it was a perfectly balanced experience. The classic the was.not discovered this year is the Talisker 18 yrs. If only it was not that rare and difficult to find.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainQuintero Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Glengoyne 10, you can drink it all day it's so smooth. Better than the 17 and 21 every day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
