So yesterday Hubby went to his favorite liquor store again (see above). Actually, this isn't all of it (left to right: Johnny Walker Green Label, Johnny Walker Gold Label, Talisker 10 and Laphroig 18). Hubby actually bought two Laphroig 18s, as well as a Laphroig Quarter Cask. The Quarter Cask and 18 were for my brother's birthday (an early birthday present). The Talisker was to mix with the Caol Ila, because apparently the Walkers supposedly have both blended in them and this way you can customize to your own taste. And the Green is for me. Because apparently I need a drink too. Green is just about the only one I can drink consistently because I find it very smooth. Hubby likes Gold and even Black better than Green because he finds it tasteless, but Gold's a bit too rich for me and Black is too smoky.
The men find the Laphroig 18 to be amazing, like a cross between the Lagavulin and that regular Laphroig taste, but without the medicinal taste.
I haven't tried it yet, because well, just from trying the regular Laphroig, it's the type of thing you remember for the rest of your life and I'm just not ready for it yet.
The men found the Talisker nutty and a bit too alcohol-y. But, it's to be mixed, so maybe it won't be too bad. Hubby expects it to not go quickly.
Hubby wants to go back for Glenmorangie's Sherry Cask. They were out of Balvenie Doublewood and well, why not try a different sherry cask?
