Fat Tuesday Scotch line up
Welp, it's Fat Tuesday and I have the house to myself and chances are with the 20 inches of snow that we're supposed to get tonight and tomorrow I won't be going to work tomorrow. I decided to sample a variety of my scotches tonight and compare.
So far I've had a finger of Macallan 15yr Fine Oak and realize I'm beginning to pick up more flavors to it than I have before. It's amazing the differences in picking up tastes from cigars, wine, scotch, etc. When I first started cigars I couldn't taste anything until I developed a palate. The same with wine. And now I'm finally starting to pick up bits from scotch. The Macallan's sherry really sticks out. And it was funny because I thought it had a resemblence to bourbon only to read the bottle and see it was matured in bourbon oak casks, which may explain it. It also hand a layer of fruitiness I picked up on the tongue after swallowing it. I can't quite place the fruit though. Definately has some spice to it. Anyway, I've finished that and have moved onto Glenlivet 15yr. It's definately not as spicy and more smokey, even wood flavored. After this I plan on going with Glenfiddich 15yr and with all the talk of Johnnie Walker today, I'll probably finish off with some JW Green. Have a great night, everyone, I know I will! |
