JimJim & the FatBoys SINGLE MALT
As a "Single Malt" band, we have found the exploration of the delights of Scotland's wares to be an adventure.
We offer here our completely biased reviews for fun! [NOTE: We sometimes rename these for our own amusement.]
DEFINITE THUMBS UP!
Glenlivet 12, 15 years. A popular stand-by. (Couldn't find a photo since "Mactopia Internet Express" redirects the website to their own! What's up with that?)
Dalmore
Cigar Malt--this is
one that debuted at Winfield 2002. We didn't have any good cigars
to go with it--guess we'll have to try that one again!
UPDATE: Well, at Winfield 2002 we did and the pairing was a delightful one!
Dalwhinnie
15 year--smooth with
a taste of the peat fires.
Glenfiddich
12, 15 & 18 years.
The older they get the smoother they are!
Glenmorangie
Oban
Bunnahabhain,
aka "Bunny Hopper" this
was a favorite at the May and June 2002 tastings.
Cardhu this beauty (from the first distillery
to be owned by a woman! ) converted a camping neighbor this year.
Jeff has a particular description for this one. (Ask him!) It
also has a bottle shape that goes well on his sailboat!
MaCallan
Tomatin
Speyburn
No Thanks, don't think we'll go there again!
Laphroig
aka "LeapFrog"--uh,
why not just grab a plug of peat and chew it!
?--
Cragganmore--we never got a chance to taste this
one since Babcock grabbed the bottle and headed home early! Now
we have to rely on his report!
