Myhamish Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Hi. Check this out. It's interesting. It's a single 1960 Khorn on ebay with a wooden squawker horn. It seems to be in pretty fair shape. It's in St. Paul, Minnesota. Sales open to anybody worldwide and it's got 9 days to go. Cool! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3033622712&category=14993 Tried some nice single malt Scotch this week that JR brought. Balvenie 12 year old ( old enough to be on it's own ) double casked in traditional oak and sherry oak. Life is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Hamish, I saw that last night. Looks very interesting. Bet it sounds good w/ SET and SMS (single malt Scotch) . fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnm Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Hamish How would you describe the Balvenie's flavour? My preference is for the woodier tasting Single malts. My long time favourite is Laphroigh which has a very strong woody taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myhamish Posted July 3, 2003 Author Share Posted July 3, 2003 Hi Lynnm, I really admired your shrewd observations & writing skills on the auditory sensory topic in the "rf-7 vs. k horn" postings. I agree with your views on compensation and have had a long personal challenge of a different sensory nature. As for the "rf-7's vs. Khorns" or LaScalas, there is a timeless appreciable quality inherent to the Heritage series that is also probably a good financial investment as well. As for Scotch,I'm not a Scotch snob. I appreciate any Scotch - blends or single malts - as company & atmosphere are other factors in enjoyment. The Laphroaigh you speak of is a rich, smokey, peaty, dark and bold Islay offering, that will knock your socks off. A lot of people are put off by the rather robust character. If you can find Ardbeg 10 year old or Ardbeg 18 year old, they are also distinct Islay offerings. I think you would enjoy either immensely. One of the nicest low end surprises and don't let the name fool you - if you can find it - it's called " Sheepdip". Try it. Anyway, Lynnm, here's to you and all our American friends for a happy and safe Fourth of July with family and friends. Slainte mhath.

ben. Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I'm a big fan of Jameson (yes I know it Irish) and Glenmorangie. I've not had a chance to try Glenmorangie's premium offerings. They are finished in port, sherry and one other type of cask I can't remember. Anybody try one of those? They are special order only round here. BTW- my wife is thinking of Jameson as a name for our baby if it's a boy. If you were my friend and knew how much Jameson I drink, wouldn't you find that stange and/or pathetic?? (this is not a rhectorical question) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
