For a Japanese whisky, it’s great. For the price its a good everyday pour after dinner. The 17 is fantastic, but now a days anything from japan with a number is like buying a ceramic Daytona, hard to get or pay a premium. I used to drink Nikka 21 when you could buy it for $200 a bottle, now good luck finding it or pay up to $800+ for a bottle now. Yamazaki is another one that I enjoy.

They were $100-110 (can’t remember exactly) in Mass. I haven’t been able to find any in PA for a while. Last time I did though they were around $50

Yama 12 isn't too expensive but it's almost never on the shelves anymore around me. It's also not great. The 18 is much better, like a completely different whiskey almost, I do not enjoy the 12 even a little.

Last night total wine had a nice little shipment come in. I’m pretty stocked, but I still bought a couple of bottle because you can’t beat retail pricing.

Hey Guys,
Bare with me as it's kind of a long list but I was looking through my store's list looking to expand my selection and try something new and the following caught my attention. Since there's some great knowledgeable whiskey heads in this thread wanted to ask your opinion if anyone has tried any of the below and what you thought of it? 2Bar Spirits Bourbon Whiskey Aberlour 12 Year Old Balcones Distilling Baby Blue Corn Whisky Blade And Bow Bourbon Whiskey Bruichladdich Port Charlotte Scotch Whisky Compass Box Oak Cross Dalwhinnie 15 Year Old Glen Garioch 12 Years Old Glenmorangie The Quinta Ruban The Balvenie Distillery Single Barrel 12 Year Trail’s End Bourbon |

I like baby blue. It’s a little sweet, but not over powering. Blade and Bow is pretty solid, especially at that price point.

I'll admit I bought the Port Charlotte because I liked the packaging but I love sipping on it neat in the evenings these days. It's got a unique peatiness. Not too expensive at around $50 or so (iirc)

thanks for the feedback. I'll admit the packaging is also what caught my eye at first (guess clever marketing/packaging worked lol) then reading up on it kept it interesting but wasn't sure if it would be worth it or just a pretty looking bottle. Will be adding it to the list thanks |

Quite a nice collection
The Lagavulin 16 and Ardbeg 10 are two of my favorite whiskeys around, always keep a bottle in stock. Compass Box I have yet to try but it's on my list, any suggestions yay or nay For the Bruichladdich would you suggest the classic laddie or port Richmond or both Drink to good health |

Lagavulin is the Mack Truck of Whisky IMHO. That's a love it or hate it for some folks. I can see an easy comparison between it and the Ardbeg 10.
Just finishing an Oban DE which was fantastic. |
