Highland Park 12 Year Old While touring Scotland in 2005 we stopped in Edinburgh before heading for London. There I had my first Scotch tasting. I tried several from Laphroig through Highland Park to Glen Morangie and Jura. I kept coming back to Highland Park. I had no previous knowledge of single malts and I just liked this one so I bought a ...
Having now tried the standard Laphroaig 10, the Cask Strength, and the Quarter Cask, I have found the Quarter Cask to be the one I keep coming back to. Powerful smoke, wood, and more smoke.
Probably this is because the distinction (a blend involving several malt whiskies, but no grain whiskies, whereas a “blended scotch” like the ubiquitous Johnnie Walker contains several malt whiskies and one or more grain whiskies) is a little geeky for the average consumer.
Price: $50 This is the scotch-drinker's scotch. A scotch that tastes like scotch—burnt rubber, smoke, and Robitussin, oh my! But, I'll be damned if it's not delicious. Laphroaig is a whisky giant that has been going strong since 1815, so you know you can trust them.

Scapa 16 Year Old is on the way out. We bid this odd, underrated Scotch whisky classic adieu in a final review.
Glenkinchie Distillery is found just 15 miles away from Edinburgh in Pencaitland, East Lothian. The distillery originates back to 1825 when brothers John and George Rate opened the distillery. The Distillery was originally called the Milton Distillery.
Cragganmore is also the principal malt used in Diageo’s wildly popular blend Johnnie Walker Black Label, providing the gentle malt base. The distillery-released 12 year-old comes exclusively from 2nd-fill bourbon casks, to reduce the woodiness imparted by long aging in first-fill barrels.
The Macallan 25 Year Old Sherry Oak. There are many nice Macallan bottles to be had—21 Year Old Fine Oak, for starters— but our choice, and the one that really impressed us the most, is the 25 Year Old Sherry Oak. You get tons of fruit, as if you’re smelling and tasting your way through a summertime farmer’s market.

Macallan is my favorite scotch, and Glenfidich, but this 10 year fine oak sucked. No flavor at all. Almost like it was watered down. I'm looking forward to trying the 17 year fine oak though.

The 12 is a definite stand by in my collection. For those of us that collect and drink scotch but can't afford 300 dollar bottles, this is one of those drams that needs to be in the cupboard. It's not the greatest whisky around, but it is very good and very smooth. Vanilla and fruit abound.

Laphroaig 10yo is a full-bodied, smoky gem, with a residual sweetness and a hint of salt amid the seaweedy, peaty characters before a long warming finish. A classic dram.

Dalmore 12 is aged for the first nine years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, before half is transferred to ex-oloroso sherry casks for the final three years. The result is a whisky with a combination of sweetness and rich, sherried flavours.
