I had the Balvenie 15 – Year and was underwhelmed. Very smooth, but not much character to get excited about. The 10-Year Macallan on the other hand was half the price and much tastier:

    Now we’re talking !!!!
    Dalwhinnie is my favourite. Once my new girlfriend asked if she could mix some with diet coke once, beacuse dhe was nervous about meeting my family !!! I couldn’t believe it. Of course, after such an insult, we all know what I had to do about that relationship – 14 years later, she’s my wife.

    In fact, I’ve just poured myself a Glenmorangie – Madeira wood finish (the oak monster of the malt world 🙂 ) especially to sip while I watch this episode.

    I’m a big Talisker and Islay guy, but will drink just about any single malt.

    Nice episode I’m very pro-scotch, still waiting for another beer episode too. I’ll definitely have to look for talisker 175 now.

    QOTD: I actually think apple will survive his retirment well, the stock will probably drop a few points initially but would recover quickly. I always figured that he would announce his retirement at launch of some new tech piece anyway.

    Holy crap! My girlfriend just purchased me that very same Talisker and a 12 year Double Wood Balvenie for my upcoming birthday on August 6th. Who would have thunk that Gary Vee and Mr. Mott-ster would deliver such a show.

    Happy Birthday to me!

  • Dr T from N. Carolina

    Not into Scotch myself, but it looked like you were having fun!

    QOTD : As they say – what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger. If apple has managed to survive despite Steve Jobs, it should thrive without him. Hopefully they can start making software a little less viral also 🙂

  • If you are ever in Scotland Gary, get in contact! Aside from having a look in my store (800 single malts and 2500 wines) I’ll happily guide you round some distilleries!

  • I have the Tallisker and Laphroaig sitting at home! I probably average one glass per week, usually a weeknight after a long day at work.

    QOTD: Apple will be fine without Steve Jobs. He’s put a great infrastructure in place and if he were to leave, step down, pass, whatever, someone would step up and carry the torch.

  • QOTD: Yes. Every company eventually outlives its founder. Believe it or not, one day Wine Library will outlive GV!

    Great episode!

    What’s with putting water in the booze? Johnny Black for me you single malt jerk offs.

    QOTD: Apple survived without him once before. Granted it was going nowhere until he came back. He should get some good people around him right now (like Bill Gates did) and then stay on the board for goodwill.

    Since I’m from Bourbon Country I don’t drink much scotch, however, really enjoyed this episode. I’m just happy that one of Gary’s guests finally brought up how well a fine cigar would pair w/ their drink…whether it be scotch, bourbon or wine, the combo is off the heeezz!
