Here is are my tasting notes for BRKLYH2:

Aberlour:

Glenmorangie:
-Nose: Better

Oh thank you. That's much better. Why don't you add "I got drunker from the Glenmorangie" to make it a really thorough report.

I've read many whisky reviews and with only a few have I experienced what the taster experienced with that particular whisky.

They remind me of cigar reviews where there are about 8 key words that tasters use. Plus, you have to add it a few made-up expressions.


"At first I noticed a malty sweetness. There was some vanilla with a raisins, followed by a floral bouquet that resembled a citrusy sweetness." LOL.

I will say the I read a review of Macallan Cask Strength that pointed to cinammon and raisins and it was spot on.

You ever read reviews by Michael Lam? Every single review includes "malty sweetness".

[BKLYNH2]

As in " I plunged deep between Xena's thighs, seeking her malty sweetness."?

Enjoy your whiskey now?

Tonight at dinner I ordered a Lagavulin 16yr, another Islay single malt. I think I can get into the smoky island malts. I have to say it's pretty close the Laphroaig.

If nothing else, it's worth drinking the Islay whisky because of the cool namesl

Laphroaig -- "La Froyg"

Lagavulin -- "Lahga VU lin"



I try to say this with my best Scottish accent. Sometimes I use my Pakistani accent.

Tonight's Thursday purchases would make Andy proud. Love the Balvenie.

Last Thursday I was at Disney World and didn't have a chance to get my whisky.

In addition to two more bottles of Balvenie Doublewood I picked up for some buddies, I got these tonight for the Thursday Night Purchase.

I sampled the Highland Park.....and WOW. That is one awesome whisky for a less that $40/bottle and my local superstore. Friggin awesome whisky, from the Ornkey Isles.

3/4 of that bottle is now gone.


Tonight I picked up a bottle of the last of the six "classic malts" from Scotland I have yet drink - Dalwhinnie.
