Can't get it up here north of the border but, through a wine distributer I am able to order a case. Would like to hear from someone who knows their stuff and has tried it before I order.

I know for a fact we have Eagle Rare and I'm pretty sure we have the Craig Barrel proof too. Dont know about the other 2 I havent looked obviously.
Do you recommend trying all of these neat or will something like the Elijah Craig barrel proof need a splash of water or a single cube? [Reply]

Those bottles are 4oz each. I'd take the one's that are full and drink half neat, the other with water or a cube.
But that's just me. I'd at least take a sip of each neat and then enjoy as you normally would. [Reply]

Three of those a readily available in KC the Wathen's may take some legwork but is seen around town. Take a look around Hyvee's Liquor shop they often have it if you enjoy it. [Reply]
I know this isn't really a scotch thread but a friend at work gave me a bottle of Balvenie DoubleWood 12 year. Had had it years ago and didn't care for it a lot and that was when I was huge into scotch. I drink way more bourbon nowadays.
Long story short, its tasting damn tasty tonight, maybe because it was free.

I am not into scotch much but Doublewood is probably my favorite and it resembles bourbon taste in many respects. It's one of the only scotch offerings I'll keep on hand. [Reply]

Well that may explain why I like it now since I drink more bourbon than scotch.
Started on the EH Taylor. This is very impressive seems like the first half second of a sip doesnt taste like much then I get almost a mixture of a wheaty nut taste, then it gets warm and boom a tangerine orangesh taste. Definitely has more character than the shit I usually drink lol. This is a good one to sip on. [Reply]

The DW 12 is a really great Scotch in that $50-60 range. Probably one of the best. If you like it and ever want to branch out I'd say the Cragganmore 12 and the Glenmorangie 10 would be worth a flyer. Similar profile to the DoubleWood but more mature is the Bowmore Darkest, but it's about $15-20 more. :-) [Reply]
