I had a Bowmore 15 The Darkest the other night and it was very nice.
I've never had a bad whisky from Bowmore, but the Darkest might be my favorite of theirs. Good stuff.

Nice Ken,  loved the Balvenie, fan of Bulleit, never had the Dew, and Jameson not bad in a pinch

Jameson is my everyday pour...smooth and nice...Dew a step up IMO. Just started trying different rye's...nice change of pace. Balvenie is one of my favorites- many to enjoy.

Very nice, Ken. Tullamore  Dew makes a killer whiskey sour.

I'm not a huge fan of the regular Tullamore, but their reserve is outstanding.

The Jameson 12 year is outstanding as well.

I've moved away from the non-reserves, unless its Red Breast or Green Spot.  But those are pricey bottles at their entry level.

EDIT:  Not to crap all over your selections.  I would certainly join you for a flight.  As long as I could have two ryes and skip the Scotch.

Hmm, I think I would have tasted in the exact opposite direction!

I'd go left to right for sure.

Decided tonight that Rowan's Creek isn't as slouchy as I first thought, pretty good stuff. Might open some Scotch soon...

Gonna have to try Aberlour 12 with a clean palate. Fruity aroma with a tequila aspect and a light flavor with a lingering hint of espresso. With a splash the flavor opens up a little. More experimenting to be done with this one methinks!

Wait, am I missing something?  Or do you guys also drink the Yellow Tail before the Caymus?

I go lightest flavor to strongest. Of course I would never buy Yellow Tail Cab anyway. ;)

Same here. Not that I generally drink that many different whiskey and quality levels in one sitting...although it has happened in a few tastings before.

Tried the Balvenie Caribbean Cask last night and it just didn't thrill me. At the bar they gave you little snacks and one was a small lemon cupcake and paired with that it was pretty darn stellar.

always interesting what seems to pair well with a whiskey. I love a chunk of 86% dark chocolate to nibble on as I sip.
