It is close to St Andrews, where I work and study. When I was 29 I decided to book my first trip abroad..WhiskyFest 03..met a lot of good friends and had a really good time..well apart from falling asleep in the foyer of the Marriot Marquis and being awoken by 2 NYPD officers and being told 'excuse me ma'am..you can't sleep here..move along now'...fun times haha!

I've been only been developing a taste for whiskey for the past 2 years, but I have made up for lost time. I love Stagg Eagle rare 17 when I can get it and love Glenmorangie, very interesting how my pallate has developed it that short time. I always enjoy reading reviews & malt advocate very much. But the best to enjoy , is on the deck of my mountain cabin with a crackling fire & a little Blue grass music, it don't get any better than that! Have a great year John!! I live in Hickory NC.

We spent the holiday week in the mountains of Colorado away from the internet so I am now getting caught up on my reading. We live in Monument, CO and I am enjoying a spot of Colorado's first Bourbon from Peach Street Distillers in Palisade. Very tasty stuff. Lots of good things being distilled here in our beautiful state. I’m a bit late to this party as well.

Away for the holidays. But let me check in. I currently live in New Milford, CT in the northwest part of the state. We have missed just about every snow storm so far this year. I am sure we will get bombed eventually, Right now I am enjoying a Van Winkle 12 yo and watching "The Hangover" on DVD, Cheers every one and Happy New Year. Oh and to Scott Mansfield from Australia. My brother is Scott Mansfield...but he lives in Florida. ;) Wow, I am late to this party! Away for the holidays. But let me check in.

At our annual gathering yesterday, with a third of the town's population in attendance, another Atlantican and I got around to talking about saxophones. He had one for sale: a Buescher True Tone Alto. His dad bought it new. When we got home I looked up the serial number; built in 1921. Not often I buy myself a present, but this treasure I couldn't pass up. The Arran 10 year offered a fine, smooth toast to celebrate. Dateline — Atlantic City, Wyo.

Notice the winky face? Anyway, my 10 year old daughter had a regular hamburger (she doesn't like cheese) and she said it was the best burger she's ever had. Thanks again for telling me to try it out. John, the last time I had the BTAC Saz was in 1999 (or 1998 - can't remember) but back then, the ER was 15 YO (and significantly better than this year's 17 YO I might add) and I thought the Saz was very good that year. Course back then, the BTAC was a lot less expensive and not as well known so much more accessible (I could just pick up a bottle and go back to the store for another when I was finished). I read your review and found out for the first time about the storage in the stainless steel - I stopped drinking for a few years (!) and had no idea. Anyway, way back then, I thought the Saz was good/great but preferred the ER 15. We'll see. Since I've discovered your site, I've come to trust your judgment. Happy Holidays everyone!
