I'm neutral about Glen Elgin, though I have a couple samples I'll try before the year is out to see if I can be knocked off the fence. Though, it does get bonus points for not being one of The Cool Glens.Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-82164984055151571722015-11-05T12:25:05.239-05:002015-11-05T12:25:05.239-05:00I haven't had a Glenburgie to make me fall in ...I haven't had a Glenburgie to make me fall in love with it - from a sample size of 1 (a The Party Source exclusive from a few years back) - but I discovered Miltonduff through the 500ml Cask Strength Edition, and have loved it ever since. Glad to hear there's another one with such potential! I think similarly highly of Glen Elgin and Glen Ord - which is ironic, given Michael's recent experience.Florinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14445344658258056628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-45287669357765595582015-11-04T14:55:57.508-05:002015-11-04T14:55:57.508-05:00Yep, MAO has a very positive review of his CS bott...Yep, MAO has a very positive review of his CS bottling. While it's cool that Pernod has those releases, they represent such a tiny drip of the production. It would be excellent if they someday went the direction that Bacardi chose and start up regular releases of their potentially very fine single malts. And maybe expand the damned Longmorn range. I don't think there's much strain put on the Chivas line since the 18yo still sells for <$60. Anyway, end of complaint.Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-56449113654215896462015-11-04T13:57:00.226-05:002015-11-04T13:57:00.226-05:00Pernod actually sells official cask strength bottl...Pernod actually sells official cask strength bottlings at the distilleries and UK stores (MoM and Whisky Exchange) but the US again gets left out. Since Ralfy considers Glenburgie a gem in the Pernod portfolio, I was eager to grab a bottle of this and I certainly do not regret it. I happen to love whiskies that are fruit bombs and this Glenburgie really fit that category.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13215982348779717643noreply@blogger.com
