They don't sell flat Pelegrino in these parts, nor any flat mineral water in any of my local stores. I'd buy it on occasion if they did, but I enjoy the sparkle.

mikeweil Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Nice blend of Negroamaro with ten percent Malvasia nera - tasty, but needs to have the right temperature and breathe some before drinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notarpanaro by Cosimo Taurino from Guagnano near Lecce (Puglia) – 85% Negroamaro, 15% Malvasia Nera – my choice since nearly 30 years!

Taurino's 'flagship' is Patriglione – but more expensive. I´ve visited the winery of Dott. Cosimo Taurino in 1989. Now his widow Rita, her daughter Rosanna and her husband Dott. Fernando Antonio Bello are responsible. Taurino ships worldwide. Edited January 27, 2017 by optatio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmitry Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Just bought and tasted the ABERLOUR 12. While not a big fan of the double-casked scotches, like Glenmoranghie, and sherry-casked ones in particular, this one is not too fruity, and I wouldn't add ice. Price was right. $45/750cl.

Scott Dolan Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 That's arguably the finest "budget" single malt around. First time I had it, it was $20. Have you tried the 12y.o Balvenie double barrel? That's my second favorite Scotch behind Lagavulin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife gave me a 18 y.o. Laphroaig for B-day, and it's still here. Wayyy too strong for me. The 10 y.o. is a lot more palatable to me. That being said, I'm not a Scotch cognoscenti, more like an amateur admirer. I must say that Johnny Walker Platinum is a pretty amazing-tasting scotch.

Scott Dolan Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Yes, Lagavulin is incredibly peaty/smoky. More so than Laphroaig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
