My experience is that scotches in the 10-12 year range are often better than the same brand in the 17-18 year range.
Balvenie Double Cask is an example. I prefer the 12-year to the 17-year straigh ... |

| Bowmore 15 "Darkest" is a great blend of sherry and peat. Lots of both for about $75. |

Any suggestions on one or two bottles for a good autumn splurge?
I keep striking out in this price range. Last year I tried Balvenie 17DW and Talisker 18, both seem to be popular here but I actu ... |

If you like Laphroaig's Quarter Cask then the Triple Wood is virtually indistinguishable.
I have not found the Laphroaig 18 but it is probably nothing like the overpriced boring smoke of the Talisk ... |

For me it is seasonal.
Spring - Dalwinnie 15
Summer - Aultmore 12
Fall - Balvenie DW 12
Winter - Laphroaig QC
All of these are reasonably priced and consistently reliable. |

Seems to be a marketing ploy. The gimmick is to drink it cold, but nobody will like it if they don't like all their scotch cold.
The 15 is much better. |
