Making my first official foray into single malt scotch land tonight
Praise be to the Class Six store at Dover Air Force Base. They seem to sell most things like $5 or more cheaper than most places. They especially seemed to give a good deal on the scotch, so I decided to pick up something. I chose a bottle of Tullibardine Single Highland Malt, specifically because I haven't seen anyone make mention of it on here. I've had Macallan 12 one time, but I was so trashed I don't remember what it tasted or smelled like. Anyhoo, on with the show. The first thing I noticed was how fragrant the stuff was. Besides the obvious oak smell, there are definite hints of caramel and a nice hazel nut aroma. This continues into the taste. Clearly since this is my first real single malt experience, I have nothing to compare it to besides other whisk(e)ys. I definitely noticed a quite pungent, earthy taste near the end(which is more than likely the peat they use to make the stuff). This beverage will take some getting used to, especially being as I am a total bourbonite(as I call it).

Giving single malt scotch a try is great, but at the same time think about the new bourbon you missed out on tonight.

Pappy is getting harder and harder to find, especially when a******s like me are buying up every bottle they can find.
 If you're ever interested in locating a bottle let me know. |

If you find the bite to harsh, try a shot of water in it. You'll be surprised at the effect it has.

 It wasn't that it was harsh, it was just.....im not quite sure how to describe it...funky I guess you could call it. It wasn't bad, it was just different. I wish the s*** was cheaper though damn it. |
