I've never tasted Jura, but i've heard that recently they have been having problems with quality control. Any thoughts?

I find all of their releases to be average except Prophecy, so I can't comment on the others. I had a bottle of Prophecy in October, and it was as good as ever. I will keep this in mind though when I taste more bottles!

My Favorite Bourbon:

 

--Buffalo Trace Antique Collection: George T. Stagg

--Buffalo Trace Antique Collection: William Larue Weller

Although I haven't tried these 2 in the series, I really loved the Thomas H. Handy Sazerac. I also had the Eagle Rare 17 year, which was good, but not as yummy as the Handy.

 

Delicious stuff!!!

If you have the opportunity to pick up a bottle of Stagg, I highly recommend it. That stuff is seriously mind-blowing.

Yes, many places have waiting lists with hundreds of people on them to get it. It sells out almost instantly. It won't be released again until fall 2013...mark your calendar lol.

I just got an early holiday gift of a bottle of Green Spot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Spot_(whiskey) - courtesy of my father's recent trip to Ireland. Apparently relatively hard to find here in the States. 

 

It is quite nice. Very similar in character to a speyside scotch - lots of honey overtones, and smooth. Smooth smooth. Certainly the best irish whiskey I've ever had, and pretty high up there against the best scotches too. Really a pleasant whiskey to drink. I'll enjoy this one.

My favorite, by far, is the Talisker 10 year.  I think highly aged whiskies like Johnnie Walker Blue or Scapa 16 taste like a stick or like rotting stuff in the sea.  Any other Talisker fans out there?

Yeah, I like Talisker.

I prefer Islay brews like Lagavulin or Caol Isla. I love the peat and smoke.

But Talisker has some peat, so... in my book it's good! Ha!
