Beck's Whisky nice or not?

[Myxilplix]

The Haig Club? It's not bad, although I've only had it a few times. Quite a clean taste but nothing that particularly stands out. Bought it on a whim.

Last time I checked, TW DFS dun sell.

 

Check this website out for the outlets. There are many sales outlets in town, normally close to the train station. It is almost always beside a Charlie Brown cafe. Same group of companies.

Plus the salesgirls will give you lots of samples to bring back or try on the spot.

 

Just realized they selling this for $650 in Singapore!

Glenlivet 21 or 18, if you can't get your hands on 21.

 

The Macallan Select Oak is also nice at S$95 at Changi.

Yamazaki no age? Yes there is. Not good. Trying my best to drink it.

Yeah.

 

Bought 1 for my Dad. He's also trying his best to drink it...

 

A lot of whisky companies are running low on 12 yr and older whisky so the move away from numbering the age of their whisky.

About $140

 

Ok that's reasonable for an award winning whisky... Will text him. But can't get at Tao Yuan airport dfs right?

Dun think so, go to their shops. All over Taiwan.

Bought this last year, from a distillery in Scotland. Strong on the nose, light floral fruity top notes. Smooth on the tongue, long finish with a thickened consistency as it flowed down the throat. I like it also in that it doesn't have strong smoky taste.

Anyone tried this

Planning to buy the Ka Va Lan from Taiwan next month. Only need to buy other varieties.
