And in a wonderful turn of events I got the Ardbeg 17 year on a Total Wine private client email offer, super stoked.

I just got into scotch the last few month and am really enjoying it. Got a lot to learn though.
I haven't really tried enough to know what type I like and know the difference between them all.
So far I've gone through bottles of JW Red/Black/Gold and had several glasses Glenlivet 12. Obviously nothing impressive about those really, but my favorite was the Black label.
Seems like the blends are frowned upon more, or maybe that's just a scotch snob thing?
I still cant do neat, but really like on the rocks.
I'll try some of the stuff mentioned in this thread.
If you have any other recommendations or advice for a beginner let me have it

I thought the same thing! I missed Cake, so really looking forward to this one.AgInSingapore said:
I'm hopeful it's of similar quality as A Tale of Cake! Tasting notes sure seem promising.

I've tried time and again with HP and I've yet to find one that I'd seek out even though i want to like it. I have friends that are huge fans so I just sample theirs. I do have a 1978 in the bunker, but that's not a random weeknight pour. At the end of the day, If you like it, drink it!

Octomore 15.1, 15.2 and 15.3 now in the bunker, seeing good things about this year's release... no clue as to when they get opened, no cold weather on the horizon.
