Great list! Here's a few things we need from other distilleries: Ardbeg 10 Cask Strength, Balvenie 15 Ex-bourbon Cask Strength, Glenmorangie 10 Cask Strength, and Brora 8 Cask Strength (could happen in 2028!)

Cheers for this excellent list, Rob I bought your number one just a few days ago off the recommendations of other members of the Edmonton Whiskey Forum Facebook group. I’m not opening till the first weekend of December (along with a Laga 12 2018), but just popping the cork and having a sniff tells me this is going to be epic. I love their standard 12 year as well. I love cask strength scotch. It follows from my love of high proof rye, bourbon and Canadian whisky. Can’t wait to try more on this list!

Rocking it! Forget NAS. Everybody's doing it but that's a separate thing for a separate list. IBs put an age statement, and their primary thing is young CS releases. Age statements matters. Just today I found GA batch 3 and Laph10 batch 10 at the right price! I wish I could be happy spending my whole budget on one old bottle, like Laph25 but where's the fun in that? So I look for the $100 bottles that hit all the boxes, and the age really determines the final value.

@@WhiskyInThe6 fair question as it's not explicitly stated anywhere. I'd say yes. Each batch is a different abv and comes out over 50%, which is high enough given the older stock included in there.

Rumor is the Highland Park Cask is up to 12-year-old whisky. Agree we should reward those who have an age statement, also agree Benromach 10 is the shit! I am loving my 2009 batch 2.

Notedly, I've not tried near as many as you, but I've never been so busy picking apart the notes and associations. It is so potent, spicy, and complex, still holding the unique Glen Garioch character through the Sherry. If you can get your hands on one, I think it's worth it. Cheers!

The "Elements of Islay - Peat" cask strength bottling is excellent and remarkably affordable, if a young blend of Caol Ila and Lagavulin sounds good to you (and why wouldn't it?)

Not a fan of the trend with NAS cask strength bottles. The Glendronach batch 8 did give an age on the back of the tube. My two favorite CS bottles this year were the new versions of Arran quarter cask (bothy), and Arran Bodega sherry cask. Both are reasonably priced and am told that Arran will tell you the age if you contact them. The Bodega especially is my replacement for the declining Abunad with a good price and Arran states on the bottle they age in sherry hogsheads. These smaller casks give more wood surface contact for a more complex maturation of younger whisky. Cheers Rob

On the Arran website, it says that the Quarter Cask - The Bothy was matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon for seven years, then a further two years in quarter casks. No info was given for The Bodega. I have both of these and can’t wait to try them in December. Just popping the cork makes me know I’ll love them. Cheers!

I spent a solid decade only drinking bourbons before I moved into scotch. I think having some flights with wildly different whiskies was what really showed me the potential. Definitely worth a try, and if you just want to stick to bourbon, there's nothing wrong with that either. I still love my Four Roses Single Barrel (if only it still existed here on the West Coast).
