Omgggg Whiskyfest was awesome. I was surprised at how much I liked some of the Scotches. My favorites from last night:
Duncan Taylor
• Lonach Strathisla 42 yr.
Best by a surprising margin for me. Really smokey, peaty, smooth and delicious.
Ardbeg
• Rollercoaster
No supernova left. I think the Ardbeg line as a whole was my favorite line. Tons of smokey taste yet no burning or bitterness.
The Balvenie
• 17 yr. Peated Cask
• 21 yr. PortWood
I had never tried any Balvenie before but I think this will become part of my regular rotation. Both of the above were incredible.
Kinda disappointed with the Suntory Yamazaki and I honestly thought the Hudson line was some of the worst Whisky I have ever tasted. Beyond that, incredible night, my main worry was big lines and small pours. But we had no problem there, not too crowded, lots of free stuff, good food, hot pour girls, and the most awesome scotsman ever:
Euan Shand, the man behind the Duncan Taylor lines.
