| Matt - if that bottle sat around the shop long enough, it might still have been genuine. We all know that spirits don't "age" after bottling, but they can change (mostly from UV exposure an ... |

Has anyone come across any fakes? - I did!
I purchased a bottle of 10 year Glenmorangie from a local off-license.
The packaging and bottle complete with foil wrap around the cork was immaculate ... |

Just finished a bottle - I thought it was quite nice - definate immediate sherry hit.
Can't say I found anything dislikable but nothing outstanding either - not as good as the 18 year old but it' ... |

To be honest, I have have dropped the Balvenie Doublewood from my shopping list - just find it flat and one dimensional.
My favourites so far ( under £50 ) are Glenfiddich Solera 15, Glenmorang ... |

A friend has recently purchased a spirit aerator / enhancer and lent it to me for an evening.
His opinion was that it smoothed and improved the whisky. I put a glass of 12 year Highland Park thro ... |

| Had a glass off Glenfiddich 15 Solera for the first time in a while today - It was as nice, if not better perhaps than the 21 year old - 2 different finishes I know. |

Just a question to you all:
How often do you have a dram and how much?
I tend to do half a bottle in 2 nights - my girlfriend likes it as much as me so we do a bottle in 2 nights together. On ... |

Might give that a go - would I be advised to add a drop of water at 51%?
Though I enjoyed Lagavulin 16, I am moving away from islay malts though I have just enjoyed a hint of peat in the Highland P ... |

Thanks everyone, has anyone made a comparison between this and the 18 year old?
I believe the two are both finished in sherry casks? |

| Thank you all again. I have to agree, I enjoyed the 15 Glenfiddich as much as the rum-finished 21 year old. |

Hi again all,
My oldest and most expensive malt was a 21 year old Glennfidich.
I wouldn't buy again for the price paid £83.
Does old age in a malt always necessarily mean a better, tas ... |

Any opinions on this one?
I remember an older bottling of 18 year old Glenmorangie being absolutely delicious - I believe that one's finished in sherry casks like the Lasanta?
I have enjoyed th ... |
