I went to a tasting to learn something about scotch, and I think it might have converted me. The problem is I'm not quite sure where to go next. In addition to the old stuff that I definitely can't afford, I really enjoyed Benromach Hermitage, but don't know what that means. Any recommendations for places to start?

Thanks for the recommendations Jo3sh and biglads; that will give me some places to start when I head back to the whisky store. We did talk a fair amount about barrels. It was a Gordon & MacPhail testing and I'm pretty sure barrels were their rep's favorite topic. He seemed to know his stuff, but the tasting didn't include a general overview for a scotch newbie, so I have some general research to do (drink). I'm trying to convince my wife that decent scotch is, on a per-drink-basis, cheaper than wine.

ACE Spirits is selling a 23 Year Old Kininvie for $75 (https://www.acespirits.com/kininvie-23-year-old-single-malt-scotch-375ml.html). Their email said, "We love Kininvie 23, but it was a bit expensive and as a result unless people had tried it before, it was a tough sell. Bu with our supplier closing it out, we gobbled up every bottle we could get and halved the price. An elegant Speyside whisky that delivers a bit of sherry sweetness, but nothing overpowering. A cracking dram." slothzilla fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Jun 29, 2018 |
