i spoke too soon in random jib..

made some "acid"
bad idea apparently, didnt need that particular trip..
now im all in my feelings

luckily i also whipped up ~40mg of morph
ugh

i guess its an accomplishment though. im gonna go crawl in a corner now and drink/smoke till i fall asleep and wake up in a better day

yes i have issues


also it might just be the acid but i feel like ive posted this before what is it deja vu?

at 55.7 (cask strength)
its deadly..you wouldnt know it wasnt standard 40 honestly

i love the 18 at 43% vs the 12-15 at 40, i dont see how some people put an ice cube or 2 in their dink.. but anywho

this is a flavor explosion..almost like the 12, except along with green apple theres green grapes but its also similar to the 18, more cimplex than either. its lighter, more floral. a thicker body, i assume due to the lack of filtering and indeed, drop in ice you can see what i assume are wood tannins or fats flocculating. stronger honey notes, almost like honey suckle. very light spices almost only detectable while exhaling.

ive only had one sip though..
ill evaluate the bottle later

overall the best of glenlivet

i was actually expecting it to be quite peaty. its very light..everything is done in perfection
and at only $90 after tax (the 18 was ~$20 more, i dont remember the rest)

im quite pleased

If you're picking up strong notes of fruit, shit like that. I can bet they are putting liquid tannins in the batch. Last 12 yo glenffidich I had tasted like green apples in a, too strong kind of a way. Fake ass flavoring. Making people think it's natural.

Check out Belvenie Doublewood, you might like it. Ive only tried the 12yo

fake ass it is not..and done in perfection, nothing cloying nothing too strong
(this is actually pretty typical of speyside whiskys)

I love the non-peatiness. See if you can also snag the Nadurra Oloroso. They are very different but both outstanding and not heavy with peat. The Oloroso adds sherry cask flavors along with a nose and taste of acetaldehyde ... I will always keep both at hand, barring supply issues.

the store did have that one.. and at 60.3% lol
next time, next time
i still have to get the 21 and 25 too to complete my taste test




oj and soda sounds horrible...

you mad though bro?
my orange juice mix might not go well with some..i love the oak notes it brings out

but for a fancier company
this has been a fav. crisper, clean and better expression of flavors.

Made with The Macallan Fine Oak (15 year Old Whisky)


2 oz The Macallan Fine Oak
3/4 oz (Fresh squeezed) Lemon and Lime juice
1 to 2 tsp sugar syrup
dash bitters (orange bitter if they are available)
ice-cubes
dash of soda
citrus peel (use orange peel if you had no orange bitters)

Build in a rocks glass with Ice
Lengthen with a splash of Soda
Garnish with a threads of citrus peel




just thought id share
Just quoting your post. You want to bicker like little girls? You had your opinion, I gave mine, about as far as I care to take it.

now you are quoting..

note i said oj AND soda sounds horrible..

also i got that recipe from one of the most respected critics imo..
so no im not ashamed to say i like mixed drinks minus the shitty liquor ;)


it seems your the one that wants to bicker..you suggested a flavor was fake or addedm which it is not and i suggested you read up on production and also why nearky all whiskys from that region are floral and fruity

yiur rebuttal was that i liked oj and soda with my 15 year.. yea i mix expensive (relatively) liquors on occasion...sorry if that bothers you
but has nothing to do with the original post





good day ma'am

I have looked into production I've watched multiple videos and read various articles. You sound like someone that believes everything they are told. Is it not possible a liquor industry is deceitful? Once again, my opinion against yours on natural vs tainted batches of moderately cheap whiskey. I do believe the flavors come out naturally. I stated I had a tainted batch, you took it personal.
