I also wanted to suggest a pairing of my own: Dark chocolate. I had a little square of a Lindt Chili Dark Chocolate bar with this whisky a few weeks ago, and it was HEAVEN.

It will be interesting to see what happens when demand wanes and distilleries have surplus stocks. Cheers, Mark

+ralfystuff It's interesting. I've been watching your vids for a few years now, and enjoying quite a few drams along with you. Your interrogative-palate has been pretty useful to me. However, it's only since I've started brewing and distilling my own beers and vodka/white spirit that I've really "zeroed in" on many of your tasting notes. I don't always agree (of course), but I really appreciate your fairly balanced approach to leavening the subjective vs technical judgments. Of *course*, our palates are different (and will be experienced differently) , but a "phenolic" or "fusil" taste should usually be experienced by those individual palates in the same way, each time, when referenced to themselves (barring illness or injury, of course). Thank you for leading me to understanding the differences and appreciating the similarities. I salute you, my good sir.

Regarding your question whether this 8 year old will replace the 16. in my opinion the answer is no. This is a completely different beast. The 16 is a combination of sherry and bourbon casks. It's highly crafted to give a smooth approachable albeit heavily peated Islay whisky. The 8 is young, frisky, all about new spirit, quality active ex-bourbpn casks to give a specialist raw and exciting experience. It is certainly not for the average consumer. So no, it certainly is not a mainstream product.
