I don't think you need to spend that much money to find something you'll enjoy. In fact, older (and thus more expensive) whiskies often have more oak impact, which brings bitter tannins into the mix (there are exceptions, but it's a decent rule of thumb). There's usually a balance to be struck, with the barrel imparting caramel and vanilla as well as woody flavors.Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06448702693643593156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462121554175947733.post-24240337131043615602013-11-26T11:26:11.110-08:002013-11-26T11:26:11.110-08:00I just bought a bottle of the distillery edition I...I just bought a bottle of the distillery edition I am a novice amature whiskey drinker, and amd starting into my mid 30's and interested in experimenting with learning to enjoy a good night cap. There was a bottle of Chivas next to it but I must admit the box looked nice LOL. I will report back my amature findings hen I crack this tonight. I am ultimately looking for advice in the $100-180 dollar range on good scotch to be had for that price. I am not a fan of that bitter snap you get from some whiskeys, and like very smooth, sweeter types. so fo reg Whiskey we can say JD is not for me.Thoughts would be appreciated, but i will report back later on the Dalwhinnie.
