Balvenie Port Wood Single Malt Scotch Whisky 21 year old

[Jerry]

I tried this whiskey at the whiskey tasting venue at this past weekend's Williamsburg Scottish festival. It is a fine smooth tasting whiskey. Alas, at around $100 per bottle it is a bit more than I can afford, so I guess I'll have to limit my consumption to what I can get at Celtic festivals

That port aging sounds wonderful. $100 is pretty dear, but I did recently spend $130 on a bottle (24oz!) of Sam Adams Utopias beer. Like no other beer, it's still and tastes like a brandy or a cognac, but with a fuller body. Amazing, and the strongest beer in the world at 25%ABV. Sip in moderation!

I just brought back from Scotland a bottle of the port wood and can not wait to crack it open but I have to wait for the right occasion otherwise it is waiting until the house is finished being renovated and then I am hosting a Scotch Tasting in the new digs. I am gald to hear the taste will be worth the wait.

I also bought a bottle of Glen Grant 15 year old cask strength which has not yet been opened so if anyone has had the chance to partake in a glass of it I would like hear your thoughts.

I have a friend from the coffee shop. and he has limited his budget to $125.00 yearly for just such things as port aging. Says it is really worth it!

Glenmorangie has a selection of wood finishes that are very tasty, including a sherry, a burgundy, a madiera (my favorite), and a port finish. These sell for about $50 to $60 in my neck of the woods and are really very enjoyable: I tend towards the sherry finish on the river, port in the winter or late evening, and the madiera whenever I can. Some of my favorite scotches are the Glenmorangies and Macallans, so my opinion may be a bit biased-take with a grain of salt.

Bryan...I freely admit I've spent considerably more than that on a bottle, though...

I have a bottle of 12 year Dalmore, a bottle of 12 Highland Park, and a bottle of 15 Dalwhinnie on my wish list right now. As soon as the birthday season is over, they will all be sitting in my collection.
