What dram is in your quaich?

I'm a fan of most things Islay (including The Botanist gin), Highland Park 12 and 18 (never tried the 15), and Oban 10. I've tried one of the Yamazaki's, which was amazing. And when I cant afford whisky, I'll drink Buffalo Trace or Evan Williams Single Barrel. The only whisky I didn't care for was a young expression of Glen Garioch.

Cambeul: I love Oban, but didn't know there was a 10-year old. I'll have to try it, if I ever see it. I drink the 14, the Distiller's Edition (when it was/is available), and mostly the 18. It is exquisite.

As for Glen Garioch (pronounced "glen geary", I'm pretty sure), I find it "interesting". I've had the entry level "Founders Reserve", the 8-yr old, and the 15-yr old. I have not tried the 21-yr, because it is EXPENSIVE - about $200 a bottle.

What I find "interesting" is that there is not much difference in smell, taste, finish, etc. between them. I sense a bit more between the Founders Reserve and the 8, but not so between the 8 and the 15. So, for now I'm resolved to buy only the 8, but one of these days I may try the 21 just to see what the $200 fuss is all about.

Ah....you're correct. It's Oban 14, not 10. I've never had the 10 either....lol.
