Whisky that is.

So if you could have only one bottle what would it be- and the answer can't be " A fuckin great big wann..."

I think mine would have to be this

I've had a bottle of that Aberlour in the past and would agree that it's top dram. Night and day to their 10 year old.

Off the top o' my heid I think I'd go for a cask strength Glenlivet but it's such a hard question you've posed...:jager

This Cellar Collection is probably the best dram I've ever had but at circa £85 a bottle it's way above what I'd be prepared to pay. That said, maybe for a special occasion...

Whatever it was it certainly wouldn't come with the pile of pish in that description :P
 
It wasn't so much the tasting notes, they are fairly standard, it was the BS about how cask strength is just like they used to make it in the olden days.

Nobody ever really drank it at 56% + ABV then and they don't recommend it now. Chill filtering came in because that's the way most people wanted it and you'd have to be a professional taster to notice the effects it makes, even on back to back tastings. Oloroso casks aren't rare, there are hundreds of the feckers in every distillery in the land. Speyside is only the most prestigious production area in Scotland to the people of Speyside :blagblah :blagblah

Apart from that it's fairly factuallty correct :thumb
 
That's the wankers in the industry for you:augie

All that pish about apples, citrus notes and seaweed:blagblah:blagblah

Look at it, sniff it then neck it:thumb2

So, it harmonising with deep notes of sherry doesn't matter to you then? :nenau

Whatever- tastes feckin brilliant.

"you'd have to be a professional taster to notice the effects it makes" ?

You can tell it's been filtered as soon as you put a drop of water in...

Agree with that although it was the way that it used to be made not drunk:thumb

No, don't agree there. It was introduced because the USA market wanted a spirit that they could freeze to death with huge quantities of ice and still be clear and bright in the glass.

and you'd have to be a professional taster to notice the effects it makes, even on back to back tastings.

No, don't necessarily agree there either. When it comes to malts some whiskies aren't much affected, others are seriously altered but most people would immediately notice the difference in the depth and subtlety before and after the crime. (We run a chill plant here so speak from experience)

Except the distilleries that don't use them.:toungincheek

Indeed sir!:thumb

My all time favourite changes every day. Today it would be a Laphroaig, around 15-18 years old. Other days it may be a Glenfarclas, or perhaps a Glen Grant, or Benriach, or Port Charlotte or a 25-30 year old North British matured in ex Bourbon wood. They mustn't of course be chill filtered.
 
I'm down to my last bottle of each of these..:tears:tears
Any good :augie:augie

Thinking of waiting till our 40th wedding ani' being as we missed me 60th birthday :(
