Whiskey Review and Recommendation Thread

[Entity]

Thanks for the thread recommendations. I'm just getting into Scotch lately. While I've generally been a big fan of peatier scotches, like Laphroaig, I picked up a bottle of Dalwhinnie 15yr the other day (our liquor store has pretty limited selection) and it's quite impressive.

Over the course of the year I'll definitely be ordering from Klwines at least a few times.

Thanks again for the recommendations and the thread. I definitely have to recommend the Dalwhinnie 15yr. Very smooth, with a vaguely honeylike aftertaste. Good stuff.

El D,

As you may have seen, some of us over in the Lounge (as you've likely seen) have recently become enamored with the Dalmore Cigar Malt and Bowmore Darkest Sherry Casked. I didn't see these on your list, but if you've tried them, I'd be curious for your opinion.

If El D doesn't have anything to add, you can check out some more full reviews in the thread I linked, but I think that both of those Scotches are great ones to pick up for the price. The Balvanie 12 may still be a better introductory Scotch, but these two are great ones to try next if you want to explore a little more of the wide world of single malts w/o breaking the bank.

It appears that Bevmo won't ship liquor to Washington State. Dunno why. Klwines doesn't stock Dalmore. Anyone have any other suggestion for mail-order liquor stores? I'll be getting a bottle of the doublewood and one of the Dalmore Cigar Malt for sure. I'm pretty sure that these places can ship liquor to Washington State residents, but I'm not 100% positive (klwines lists Washington State as a place that they will ship to, FWIW).

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you may be able to ship wine to Washington state, but not liquor. Since Washington seems to have state stores, you're pretty stuck. However, they have a pretty cool website and you can find anything on it as well as which stores in the state have things, as well as how much they have in stock. The do have the Dalmore Cigar and Balvenie Doublewood listed, BTW.
