I was given a bottle of this for my birthday CLICK and have found it to be the best whisky I've ever sampled. I tried the 12 year old as a cheaper alternative but it just can't measure up to it's older sibling. The 12yr old tastes rather sharp and a bit rough when against the 21 yr old and I just can't go back to anything less now. The only problem with this is that the 21 yr old costs over ?80!
The stuff is the nectar of the Gods without a doubt and the price tag doesn't let you forget it, however I just can't enjoy the taste of anything else after having this stuff! I only drink this once a week on a Saturday with a good cigar and the last bottle can do me for atleast 6 weeks.
As for the taste it's just so smooth and silky, even my mum who doesn't like whisky had a taste of it and she says it's the only whisky she likes. I'm no whisky connoisseur by any stretch of the imagination but a bit of this with one ice cube and an RASCC was pure heaven. As Churchill once said "I'm a man of simple tastes. Easily satisfied with the best."
