Ommegang is owned by the Belgian brewing giant Duvel and their brewery resides in Cooperstown, NY. I took a tour last summer and had a great time. It's a small place, only about a 25 minute tour, but the tour ends in the tasting room. We tried all their beers and even got to try the cave...

She makes me want to be a vampire. :cool:

I live in the same Communist state as the Cat. I never used to go to a bar with the intent of smoking a cigar, but if I made plans to get together with friends at a bar, I always brought some sticks. Other than the casions, I can think of one shop in Hartford where you can smoke and one in...

Watched the brewing show last night. Very cool! I certainly enjoyed watching all those folks in the beer garden just hanging out slugging down monster-sized beers. Nice to see Dogfish Head featured. Great brews! I was laughing while watching the Anheuser Busch tasters. What a foul job! Imagine...

I should have said Bruichladich 10 Year-old which has virtually no peat reak (about 2 ppm phenolic content).The Bruichladdich "Port Charlotte" is around 40 ppm. BIG difference!

I am so freaking jealous! Based on what you said about Oban and Macallan, on your next trip to the bar, try Highland Park 18, Balvenie 12 Doublewood, Glenfiddich 15 (Solera Reserve). If you think Macallan is smokey and spicy, you may want to stay away from anything from Islay. Talisker from...

This obvious fact was relatively ignored until a few years ago, when the Lagavulin distillery on Islay suddenly discovered it was running out of its slightly sweet and immensely smoky 16-year-old single malt, because too much had been sold over the years for blends, primarily for JohnnieWalker...

What's the rush brutha? Why 5 bottles all at once? Lets start with the Oban. How did you drink it? Over ice? Neat? What do you like/dislike about it? Is it sweet? Is it smokey? With these questions answered, maybe someone can better direct you to your next bottle. Then buy that one bottle...

A horrible actress, but boy could she run! :p I've been hooked since the first show of the first season. Great first episode last night. Couldn't believe they killed off two main characters in the first 5 minutes! Looking forward to tonight!

People I know rave about the 21. I gotta try that next! I also like the Solera. Excellent stuff!

The nose to me was reminiscent of maple syrup with a prominent vanilla aroma. First sip (neat) showed a more subtle vanilla flavor, heavy notes of oak and just a whiff of smoke. The finish was very peppery, very HOT! Probably due to its 50.4% alcohol content. I added a splash of water which...

1. Laphroaig Quarter Cask 2. Caol Ila 18 3. Lagavulin 16 4. Ardbeg 10 5. Tie: Caol Ila 1991 Signatory Bottling & Johnnie Walker 15 year-old Green label

No problem. After seeing this post last week, I started the TiVo searching.

I noticed that!

Thanks AVB, I always look for your review before I put up one of my own. I like to see how others perceive the same dram. My next one will be The Balvenie 15 Single Barrel. I usually do three tastings before I post a review. I have one left.

Thanks for the info! I missed it last week but the two are being aired again on Saturday, January 14. Distilleries at 2:00 PM and Brewing at 7:00 PM.

Last week at Churchills in Boston,I enjoyed a Bolivar Churchill and a Hoyo Des Dieux along with some Taylor-Fladgate 10 year-old Tawny. Very nice port at a reasonable price ($25) and a great match with cigars.

I recieved a bottle of the Green Label from my niece as a Christmas gift. The Black Label was the dram that started my foray into Scotch whisky, but I was very disappointed in the Gold Label which I received last year, so I wasn't sure how this one would rate. The Green Label is a Vatted Malt...

WoW! Very Nice. The local just put Lagavulin 16 on sale for $49. I think that will be my Christmas present to myself.

This is a great beer. Their Celebration Ale that comes out in at this time every year is one of my favorite winter seasonals.
