I have to get it online because I live in Korea. I want to buy Still austin cs. It's hard to find cheaper than seelbachs (89.99 store pick) Is there someone know cheap shop?

I have been collecting Penderyn bottles for the last 2 years. Welsh whisky is a great investment especially with the Icons of Wales collection. I have 10 of the 11 bottles but number 5 is far too expensive now and sells for £1500 to £2000 at auction. The majority come with a Box of some sort which really adds character and value to them, my favourite box being from Number 11 which is what you could describe as an old shipping crate. Number 4 (That Try) has a rugby ball as an accessory (which I have thankfully). I suggest you all look in to these whiskys since their value will only go up. Let me know if you have any of these.

This is my first time trying whisk(e)y and ginger ale. I like the smokey stuff and I'm glad it's not lost. May try with Lagavulin (my favorite) next

Hi. Do you have any rule about the serial number of a bottle and the year of production ?

It's been a shocking week. I know nobody likes The Macallan or ice with whisky but they're making me feel better.

My son is somewhat of a whiskey aficionado. Maybe not an aficionado, but definitely a fan. He and a few buddies will get together after their shift and sample different whiskeys and/or bourbons every week. (Firefighters)

I’d like to get him something this holiday that will add to the experience, but I do not want to buy booze, as he has his own taste and I probably won’t hit the mark. It’s like buying a golfer clubs, nice gesture, but probably not what they would prefer.

So Reddit, what would you suggest I could get my son for the holidays that he won’t snub his nose at?

Had to go with a classic

My first attempt at a whisky review on reddit. Using WhiskyBase scores 0-100 to base my final score across Nose, Palate, Finish.

Whisky: Bottler: Octave (Duncan Taylor) Distillery: Glentautchers Age: 14 years 7 months ABV: 47.2%

Nose [Score: 89] At first the nose is very sweet, strawberries and red grapes. Inviting and makes me excited, almost salted caramel

Palate [Score: 92] Immediately its sweet, toffee apples to start, develops more into a rich cherry, jammy figs and sultanas. The palate is amazing, completely unexpected.

Finish [Score 88] Warming spices, nutmeg and cinnamon, still getting some dried fruits coming through, a little nutty and dry

Final Score: 90 (89.6 rounded up)

At first I didnt expect too much from this bottle, I had never tried Glentautchers, but ever since I tried my first few whiskies ive always wanted to branch out. Glad I branched out, an amazing whisky.

One of my favorite pours this year. Coming in at 121.7 proof, this single barrel is a store pick from Baseline Liquors in Hillsboro, OR. Lots of maple, a little honey and coffee notes round out the palate. The proof is nice and the age gives it a nice oak flavor without the drying effect. Let me know if these are making it around. It was my understanding this was one of the first releases of its kind.

Celebrated another trip around the sun this past weekend and wound up with a couple scores. Haven’t tried either and looking quite forward to sharing with the lads.

Hey,

A few years ago my mum got given a bottle of imperial blue whisky from a work colleague who'd went to India. On my birthday I drank the whole bottle. I've been hoping to replace it but can't find it anywhere

Does anyone know if there is somewhere I can buy this in the UK? Or is it just not sold at all here?

Hi there fellas just looking for a bit of advice. My grandfather just passed away so looking to get a bottle of whiskey in the around £100 price range for my father to try support him through the current situation. Has anyone got any suggestions for quite a basic taste? He's quite into whisky but he only really drinks cheap stuff. Additionally has anyone got any good recs for sites/shops to get more premium whisky from? (I'm from UK)

Thanks :)

Potrzebuję aby ktoś polecił mi dobre whisky na prezent. Budżet to 800zł, smak jak i pochodzenie jest mi obojętne jeśli trunek będzie dobry. Zależy mi na zakupie online także proszę o podanie strony. Z której mogę whisky zamówić. Tata uwielbia pić whisky bez żadnych dodatków, jedynie z chłodzonymi kostkami.

Hi folks. Hope all’s well. I’m looking for some inspiration and where better to come than here.

Perhaps one for the UK contingent given my currency but guidance from farther afield will be equally gratefully received:

If you had to choose a theme for a 3-bottle-tasting, what left-field theme would you go for?

Context: I’m part of a small whisky club ran by some friends. There are 20 of us, each contributing a small amount to a kitty every month, and each month one person has the privilege of picking 3 different bottles (total cost under £250) and presenting back to the group for a tasting. Past themes have ranged from a specific country, specific areas (Speyside, Lowlands, Highlands) or a slightly more out-there things like folklore and whisky marketing.

I’m up soon and could really use some inspiration.

Huge thanks.

My wife said to read to bottom line only....

I like a salty snack when I drink. Pretzels with beer, tortilla chips with tequila, etcetera and so on. What goes with whisky? I’m sitting here drinking a rye manhattan and eating pretzels and it just doesn’t go. Problem is, I can’t think of what would. Maybe some kind of nut? Anyway, hoping for the wisdom of the crowd here.

Hello, I'm new to the hobby. I'm coming from the espresso coffee world to the whisky world with some experience in tasting good quality stuff, and after tasting Johnnie Walker Black Label and Chivas Regal 12, I very much preferred the black label over the Chivas. Any recommendations based on the info I gave?
Extra: I remember many years ago when I tried Jack Daniels and didn't like it, just felt a massive Acetone taste, but since that was long ago, I might need to give it another shot XD

is this an old style bottle and why is it clear???

that’s my juice in the back not liquor
