    interesting, nothing wrong with a good 'blend', let us know your thoughts after a dram or two ! In the world of blends the 'Dimple Pinch' has always been a favorite.

    This is in no way helpful, but I know my (mostly abstemious) parents have a bottle of that Grand Old Parr in the basement. The catch is that it's the same bottle that was there long before I was of drinking age, which was a few decades back...

    Well, see, the bottle has been open and about half empty since I first remember seeing it. I don't mind trying next time I'm there, but my guess is that 30+ year old 12 year scotch probably isn't quite the same as "new" 12 year scotch!

    Enjoyed a classic Glenfiddich 18 yrs for our wedding anniversary!
    Forgot how good this was. Even the 15 yrs is really good.

    Had a few glasses last night on the patio. It's mild, not Smokey at all, nor overly peaty. Quite smooth overall. A bit lighter than I like. I prefer Oban 14 or little bay, but still quite good. I wouldn't say no to a glass.

    Thanks for the feedback, from your description it sounds very much like Dewars '12'. Agreed on the Oban, one of my favorite towns and distillery tours when I was there in '17.

    VERY rough week. Had to come home 2 weeks early from Aruba. Family member attempted suicide. This bottle might not last the night.

    Good luck. My heart goes out to you.

    It's Amazing what life throws at you and you still keep coming out the other end.
    For me I don't know how the hell I do it. But I do, you will too.

    Really sorry to hear that.
    It's nice to have some distractions to help us cope.

    love Oban, spent two nights in that town a few years back. Of the five distillery tours I took it and Glenfarclas were my favorites.
