I bought one of these too, Glenlivet 18 (IMO) is one of the defining Speyside Scotch whiskies.

Also bought a Bowmore Islay "Darkest" 15 single malt. If you havent tried this one, well, you must - especially if a fan of Islay flavors.

I won a bottle of Grand Old Parr, on eBay, about two weeks ago. I actually picked it up for a great price, $19.55, plus $12.50 S&H. This is a new to me scotch, and not only that, but it's not available within the USA. As I understand it, Grand Old Parr, is the number one selling scotch in Japan.

Well, I opened the bottle of Grand Old Parr last night and tasted a healthy dram. First of all, let me say, that this is a different character of scotch than JW Black. Old Parr is excellent, for what it is, but it would never replace JW Black as my go to scotch!

I’m no real expert when it comes to reviewing Scotch, Rums, Bourbons, and so on, but I’ll try to give my impressions of this libation. For me, this is a very bold, aggressive style, that has a very impressive flavor profile. I really enjoyed my first trial of this blended Scotch; however, this doesn’t impress me as a scotch that I would reach for very often; although, I will definitely enjoy it from time to time.

Nose: Heavy Malt, Raisin and Orange, Very Big.

Palate: Very aggressive, Oily, with strong nuances of Malt, Raisin, burnt Caramel and a light touch of Brown Sugar.

Finish: Very long, Oaky, with a touch of Peat/Smoke and, a touch of Sweetness.

Nice finds.

I went to the Costco liquor store yesterday and saw three real yummies:

Highland Park 18
Bruichladdich 18
Bruichladdich 1998 Olorosso

They were decent prices for their respective bottlings.


Hmmm...what to get...

Glenlivet. I also have JW Black label. I am more of a bourbon drinker, myself. I have many, MANY bottles of bourbon, but only a couple bottles of scotch.
