I would say my fave is Bowmore Old Darkest. Were you perhaps staying on the Isle of Islay? + Pensant and + Charlie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had the celebrated 18-year version and found the finish smoother than younger ones, but not $40 more a bottle smoother. So, I'm hesitant to drop $700 for the 25-year. How does it compare to the 18, can you say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ JEC Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I'm a regular Scotch drinker and my favorite so far is Dalmore 12 year; at $70/bottle I can keep some on hand (though it's still not for "everyday"). It's really smooth and has a vanilla syrupy quality to it I love ❤️ CuriousByNature 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does it compare to the 18, can you say? Do you mean the Douglas Laing old mill keg 18~? What I enjoy about these aged laphroaig’s is their peetiness, soft woody warmth and the casual if not lazy fruit that comes from the port and Madeira casks~ … and the color~ Half the pleasure is savoring the aroma before you sip it, as it hits the various goal posts in your mouth and that initial inhale and exhale between breaths~ So, taste plus multiple senses experience~ Not something to get drunk on… something to appreciate and experience~ Slowly… and together~ Great when sharing kisses~ CuriousByNature and wsc 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any time I have a peaty single malt it hits so many senses at once and somehow transports me to the beautiful island of Islay. And like you say, it's not something to get drunk on. But sadly and pathetically, I'll have to take your word about it being great when sharing kisses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been following the same practice; recently Johnny Walker Red switched from glass to plastic bottles, so I am protesting by not buying 🤬.
