Damn this whiskey bar is good. All the fresh off the press brand new stuff up for the tasting. I'd heard great things about the 16 year, did the 11 live up to the family hype? Unfortunately I paired it with the Hazelburn Olorosso and Kilchoman Red wine which took out joint first. This was good and a few drops of water opened it up but it wasn't as good as the other two. I can't remember exact flavour profiles as I was on my third whiskey and chatting to a mate so my memory fails me. It's a fair bit more expensive nearly 50%) than the Hazelburn 13 at $115USD. A respectable 4 I'll give it.

Yeah I'll definately ask. Other reviews rated the 16 year well ahead of this, sadly i think it'll be long gone. Their bottles turn over very quickly
See if they have the Local Barley 16. I thought it was one of the best whiskies I've ever tasted.
