How do I respond to PeatAndMeat's:

'What is your favourite 'world whisky'? (Outside American, Irish, Japanese, Canadian... and obviously not including Scotch)'

since my answer would be 'Canadian' and 'Japanese' because of my first good experiences with those countries of origin.

Yamazaki for example is not only a fabulous whisky it has a whole story that comes with it as you open the bottle. I always find it interesting to explore the stories behind the bottles. Mainly the juicy ones and those that reveal real characters fighting for a dream to come true.

So, what are you 'tasting' now?

Just got back home last night after 5 weeks away. Picked up a nice bottle of Isle of Jura Superstition. Can't wait to crack it.

@brucefraser: welcome home, sir :-) I just reviewed the Jura 10 and was pleasantly surprised. I wonder what you'll think of the Superstition.

Hello all!

Hi @The-Barrel-Mill, welcome to the site.

ps. Drinking to the accompaniment of the Allman Brothers' Jessica. . .just about perfect!

@markjedi Thanks Mark! Good to be back home. I think I'll crack open my bottle this weekend

mackmyra.se

@ Gremlin, it's on my wishlish, sir, but I have to get Sweden first :-)

Welcome to the site @Gremlin. Mackmyra was mentioned in our World Whisky thread: connosr.com/wall/discussion/…

@Gremlin I am looking forward to trying it later this week as an ex-pat friend of mine living in Malmö is bringing me a bottle! flickr.com/photos/mroach/…

I do like the packaging for Mackmyra. Although, in the photo it makes the whisky look redder than it probably is...

You will love it iam sure:) Let me know later when you have tried it:)

@WhiskyNotes: thanks for all the wonderful reviews! Quite a few out there (like the Highland Park range) that I will be trying shortly.

@markjedi1 You're welcome. Have fun with the Highland Parks ;-)

We're anticipating an impressive selection of new bottlings at the end of March, including a 30 y.o. Caol Ila and a 25 y.o. Glen Grant - definitely collector's items!

Andy McNeill's Premium Line is back on the market! We're expecting a choice selection of his newest discoveries, all sherry enhanced single cask single malts coming in between 51,7% ABV and 56,2% ABV. We're especially excited about the new Bunnahabhain which is not only sherried but peated as well!

@Coopersshop: you are very welcome on this forum to share experiences and tasting notes and all that stuff, but please do not (ab)use our Whisky Wall for merely posting commercial messages. Thank you for your consideration.

I just saw that you can now add blended whiskies to your cabinet. Wonderful work, Connosr!

Apologies to anyone who couldn't access the site over the last few hours.

We've experienced some down time on the server due to a hardware issue and have had technicians looking at the problem through the night. Normal service has now been resumed.

Thanks for your patience.

Hardware issues are a pain in the proverbial. Congrats to everyone involved for getting everything up and running again so quickly.

Just bought a Duncan Taylor NC2 Laphraoig - had one try of it and it was absolutely gorgeous. I went in intending to buy an Ardbeg ... never mind :-)

We are 1 member away from 3000 as I write this post. Congrats, Connosr, for bringing such a large group of whiskylovers together. Now, if you will, get that Group thing going :-)

If I'm not mistaken @cynter, you are our 3000th member, congratulations! Welcome to this pitiful little band of drunkards :-) :-) :-)

Many thanks @markjedi1. I am happy to be here, and look forward to developing my whiskey collection further with the help of the members here. :-)

Excellent Talisker advice. After having a few days to reflect, I realize that Talisker is my gateway to Islay.

Enjoyed a wonderful Malts of Scotland tasting in Ghent (Belgium) last night, hosted by former Malt Maniac Luc Timmermans. Great line up: Macduff 1984, Glen Keith 1990, Glengoyne 1998, Bowmore 1995, Clynelish 1982 and Port Ellen 1983. I got me the Glen Keith as I felt this was the revelation of the night for me. I'll be updating my cabinet again soon :-)

@markjedi1 Sounds very nice. Bet the Glen Keith 1990 set you back a bit..
