I know a retired liquor distributor who gives me a heads up when stuff I drink goes on sale somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Just opened a bottle of this. It's pretty decent. 2 Quote Link to comment

I had a glass of the Glenfidich and then this to compare. I think this is smoother than the Glenfidich. I'll try it again this afternoon and let you know if something sticks out. 1 Quote Link to comment

It just amazes me that JW could make a really good Scotch if their red label is so bad. Quote Link to comment

Green Label is the absolute best IMO Platinum/18yr is really good but Green is better Blue is damn good, just not $200 good Quote Link to comment
Calvin Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Man, I haven't had a JW since my early 20s. And it was red label and I thought it was good. Quote Link to comment

Xmas32 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Has anyone here had any experiences with Japanese whisky? One of my buddies absolutely swears by it and keeps telling me to pick up a bottle of Yamazaki 12. I'll have to hit one of the local whisky bars and try a dram or 2. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Just tried this. Pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment
