|
|
Hi all,
I was wondering if you could help suggest a couple options for a bottle of 18 or 21yr scotch in Ontario.
I've tried the Glenfarclas 17, Glenlivet 18 (favorite), HP18, and Glenfiddich 18. Looking for a few other options in the 18 range and also 21. Another one I enjoyed was the Glen Garoich 1995 which is around the 18yr mark. I tend to like the less peat/smoky ones but open to options.
I really like Redbreast 15yr; realize its an Irish whisky but was also considering the 21 as it appears to be in the LCBO too.
Thanks in advance. |

Interesting thank you! 21 is natural colour too!
How would that line up against the Glenlivet 21? Really liked the 18 so was also considering that alongside RB21. |

The Glengoyne 18 is natural colour as well.
The Glengoyne 21 is IMHO a far better Whisky than the Glenlivet 21 _________________ If Jack Bauer was gay, his name would be Chuck Norris |

| One of my favorites is The Macallan 21. A really good Scotch is Langavulin 16. (Okay, it is a 16 and not an 18.) |

Picked up the Glengoyne 18yr today. I was really mulling over the 18 or 21. I tend to be a bit more Bourbon cask on my scotches so figured the 21 might be a bit too much sherry to start. If I love the 18 then I'll step up to the 21 next!
Thanks all |

hmmm interesting.. now I'm intrigued with the Glengoyne 21. I'll have to add it to the list. I remember seeing it for $135 CAD somewhere.. now just got to find it again. |

| The 18 is very nice on first impressions! Not used to no peat but very smooth and enjoyable. Reminds me of a refined Aberlour abunda with the sherry influence. This would pair nice with food - will have to try with some desert or chocolate! |

I think it'll be my next big purchase. I really like the 18. Quite unique without any peat.
How does the 21 compare to the 18? |

How does the 21 compare to the 18? | I find Glengoyne steps up in quality as it steps up in age. For me Glengoyne 18 is ok, the 21 is excellent and the 25 is outstanding. |
