EPTAlso I've tried the Winter Jack once, because it was a gift from one of my clients, pretty decent if you want to try something different I'd say.

Chivas and Jack are the snickers of their respective markets :/ Keep in mind blended scotches can be 80-90% random grains, the same things that would make up a Vodka like smirnoff. | ||

When you taste several different kinds at the same sitting, it's so much easier to taste the differencies even if you are not a tasting pro. I imagine they have similar experiences at all the great single malt distilleries as well. Mackmyra Whisky Village is located in Gävle, about a 2 hour drive from Stockholm. http://mackmyra.com/ Hm, interesting! I already tried Whiskies from a lot of different countries, but Sweden wasn't one of them! I have to ask my local supplier if he gets some hands on that for a little tasting! My only distillery tour was - funnily enough  - in France and Warenghem!http://www.distillerie-warenghem.com/ It was quite fun! We got a tour outside of the normal touring times (they normally do tours only from April to September or something like that). And of course I took the 8y of them with me! | ||

I see the Octomore 6.1 is on sale atm for Euro 129. I still think the prices on these are ridiculous, but this is tempting. | ||

Its funny how i took Cardhu shots at a friends place before (and got drunk as hell , or probably I was before already lol) and its a well known whiskey , but drinking it in a cup with a teaspoon of cold water was a nice experience. had other whiskeys impress me much more obviously , but the cardhu definitely gave me a good drink. | ||

I don't have much to say about it, felt more or less like the 6.1 to me. I can't really say for certain since it was months between the two tastings, but from my memory it was not that big of a difference (not like the 4.1 and 4.2 for example.) However, Octomore never disappoints me since I love the concept and taste, so I enjoyed it a lot Also good meeting my brother again. | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.forpeatsake.com/Images/Bottles/The_Balvenie/The_Balvenie_The_Balvenie_Single_Barrel_15_Year_Old_15_.jpg) This has been discontinued! I know it is fantastic, and has always been a good value even though it's really crept up in the last year. This is the bourbon barrel version, as I greatly prefer whisky matured in bourbon barrels above anything else. But don't worry, The Balvenie has replaced it with a single barrel 15yo from Sherry Casks. They are more expensive (at least $100 US) and not really my style. (Just in case this is something you would be interested in )Currently I have open an Ardbeg 10 and Bulliet Rye 95 ... both of which are lovely, even though I haven't been drinking for the last couple weeks because of antibiotics/painkillers after a root canal. If I remember I will post here when I open one of these 15yo. | ||
