Hi all, I need the group conciousness!
I'm going to be moving to Oregon within the next two months. The selection is more limited and the prices much higher than I am used to. ie I can get Laphroaig at Trader Joes for $30 and it is $50 in Oregon. Over the last few months I have built up one case of scotch to take with me and I was hoping for some suggestions for the contents of a second case.
Here's what I have so far:
2 Lagavulin Laphroiag 1/4 Cask Laphroaig 15 year Springbank 10 100p Ardbeg Airigh Nam Beist Ardbeg Uigeadail Talisker 18 Aberlour A'Bunadh GlenFarclas 17 Glenlivet 18 Caol Ila 12 Bowmore 18What I have open right now is: Highland Park 15 cs single cask Lagavulin Bowmore 17 Finlaggan
As you can see, I prefer the smokey peaty stuff, or as my wife calls them... "the wet campfire drinks" I am not adverse to trying other profiles though; I thoroughly enjoyed the Springbank 10, A'Bunadh, and Glenfarclas 105.
I have two very good liquor stores nearby with fantastic selections/prices, so I should be able to find most anything. Any input and suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance Bill P
p.s. recent comments will lead me to try the Clynelish 14 and the Peat Freak data base...Thanks!
