A new, sober, thread about single malt scotch whisky thread.

[dorian gray]

Corsair is distilled in Nashville

I just heard from my brother that he found some whisky in my deceased grandfather's basement that he believes might be from the 1950s.













My grandfather's teetotaling, ultra-Christian son flew in from Denver to collect some things, found the bottles, poured them out and threw the them in the garbage.

Corsair Triple Smoke is fucking amazing. You should try it. It's a malt whiskey where the malt is smoked with peat, cherrywood, and beechwood. Very layered flavors and beyond the cherrywood, you get this toasted marshmallow flavor that rules. I believe it won an award from Whiskey Advocate a couple years ago. I first tried it at that EPIC tasting a couple weeks ago. It was eye opening towards American craft whiskies.

The Amrut is from India is fucking awesome as well. Gobs of flavor.

Sounds wonderful

I look forward to never being able to taste it

I'm sure this incident of utter stupidity is not isolated. Please write a book regaling his idiotic tales, make a fortune off the pending movie deal, and then donate the proceeds (after your comfortable life is established) to the Church of Satan. Dedicated in his name of course.

gramps also had a Luger that he (probably) grabbed out of some Nazi's hand and beat him with it. I had my eye on it since I was a kid and my Mom said I would get it when Gramps died. The whiskey-pouring son snatched it on one of his trips back to the homestead....pretty sure he got it before his Dad was even dead. I bet he just threw it in a drawer somewhere never to be seen again.

I'll take that as a sign to open my bottle of Eagle Rare

Laphroaig QA. I'm a sucker for anything to do with oak casks anyway but god damn this is good.

 

[Krilons Resa]

QA?

[ChaosLee]

QA?

Sounds like quarter cask, which is finished in oak barrels. Or else I missed a release

 

[Krilons Resa]

For the most part, all whisk(e)ys are aged in some form of oak barrels so I don't really understand. I was thinking QC as well; assuming it was a typo.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Eagle Rare is good, but It's not really worth it.

 

[refraction]

Nah, it's not the quarter cask but the Qercus Alba. This one's matured in ex-bourbon barrels and then subsequently moved to white oak barrels.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Never seen that one. I'll keep my eye out for it. Hopefully it makes it's way over here.
