Aberlour A'bundah

I paid $65 for mine, Batch 13, I believe. A delicious cask strength SMSW. Better than my Macallan that I paid $50 for. I add a few drops of distilled, room temperature water to the Aberlour to open it up.
 
Great price. Unfortunately, Arkansas is one of the states into which they cannot ship. I picked up a bottle of Aberlour 12 year old tonight, though. It's much smoother and richer than the Balvenie DoubleWood that I sampled a couple of hours ago. Doesn't have that dry, woody kick either. Neither of these are "peaty."

Sorry for the thread-jack... I just get really excited about this new hobby.

The only Islay malt I've had so far is Lephoig 10 year and it tasted like band aids...

A couple other more experienced scotch drinkers (one of whom had tasted the Lephoig 10 before) both though it might be off.

I don't know if I got a bad bottle or if it just doesn't agree with my palate. I"m going to revisit Islay after I pick up a few more bottles from Speyside and Highland.

If it tasted like bandaids. it was off. It should taste like anchovies mixed with diesel fuel.
 
I paid $55.00 for both of the bottles of this I have had.

Note:
Be very careful of accidentally drinking a half bottle of this stuff at a sitting. Dont ask me how I know. It gets VERY easy to drink after the first glass.
