And these are all repeats! From left to right: Balvenie Doublewood, Glenmorangie Lasanta, and Laphroig 10. My brother, hubby or I have all had each of these before, although I had not tried the Lasanta. Originally I was gunning for another bottle of the Doublewood, because I like my Scotch a little sweet, but we'd heard positive things about the Lasanta, which like the Doublewood is finished in a sherry cask. I thought that if we bought the Lasanta we wouldn't need the Doublewood, but Hubby thinks we need both for comparison's sake. And apparently, since he has the Laphroig Cask Strength and Laphroig 18, he needs the regular Laphroig 10 also for comparison's sake.
Not included in the picture: a 1.75 Liter bottle of Three Olives vodka. Hubby's mother is coming and I thought we should pick something up for her. This brand of vodka is consistently in her house, so that must mean that she's drinking it, right? (Unless it's the same one, but I don't think that's the case.)
I had a sip of the Lasanta last night at Hubby's urging. It is very good, a true dessert Scotch. I think it's sweeter than the Doublewood. (We'll decide in a side-by-side comparison at a later date.) But of all of the three trips last week to the favorite liquor store, this is my favorite trip.
