Classes have finally started, which marks the end of summer for me, so it's time to rededicate myself to some blogging. Having recently moved to the Chicago area I've discovered some great sources for whisky in the area. Sam's Wines & Spirits has an incredible selection of over 200+ Scotch whiskies, including plenty of independent bottlings. Besides great liquor stores there are fantastic pubs such as The Duke of Perth with a menu of over 70 single malts. I'll have more to say about the pub down the road, but I thought I'd post a list of my own current stock.
- Lagavulin 16yo
- Laphroaig "Quarter Cask"
- Old Pulteney 12yo
- Glen Moray 12yo
- Tomatin 12yo
- Glenfiddich "Special Reserve" 12yo
- Auchentoshan "Select"
- Bowmore "Legend"
- John, Mark, and Robbo's "The Smokey Peaty One"
- John, Mark, and Robbo's "The Smooth Sweeter One"
I'll hope to post tasting notes on all of these in the coming weeks, plus I have notes for a couple of cask strength Scotches Aberlour "A'bunadh" and Ardbeg "Uigeadail". Then I'll have some upcoming purchases which include The Dalmore 12yo, The Dalmore "Cigar Malt", Tobermory 10yo, and the Bowmore 12yo.
