$70 for the 12 yo. Is the 16 yo twice as good?

well that's difficult to answer, it depends on your palate, buy the 12yo and if you like that then go for the bottle of 16

Just got one to try out first. Hopefully it goes down well - I'll find out soon enough. Review looks great but I'll watch it after I taste it first so I'm not prejudiced. Thanks heaps for the link though!

this guy is a bit cheesy but is quite accurate in his reviews...

Ralfy is a legend.......I have seen most of vids and can describe the quality of various SMW including other spirits so that most can easily understand.

Also, Tony how do you describe anCnoc 12yo and what do you rate it outa 10?

Description: Yummy!

Out of 10: Price: 8

Quality: 7

Value for money 9/10

It's really good considering that it's only $70!

The problem that I''ve had with it is that I haven't had a proper sit down tasting. Been rushed every time. :(

good stuff.

May have to give it a go.

U need to find time to really enjoy such prestigious moments to truly unravel what each dram is like.......which I know is very hard to have when your busy

One Whisky I highly recommend is Highland Park 12yo

The most northernest Scottish distillery which has truly wonderful and rather unique flavours compared to other mainland SMW distilleries.

It's a available at DM for less than $70 and is truly a hit for people that enjoy a fine Havana due to its smokiness, honey heather, and sweetness that lasts and lasts.......just beautiful

Did I mention it also happens to be rated a 90/100 at the WWA!

Try it before you die.

I will be back to give some feedback on other SMW

Funny you say that. I've been eyeing off the highland park but saw it for 150 at dm. Wrong one?

that one would be its 18yo brother aka 'the best spirit in the world'.................................................and I kind of have to agree with that statement. I will elaborate on that in more detail later

I have 3 bottles of it at home. A classic one and two modern ones (they are the same really, with the exception of the bottle shape - however I do think there is a subtle difference in flavour which may just be due to its processing maturity)

Dalwhinnie, Old Pulteney, and Glengoyne are worth a try especially if you're not after a heavy smokey peated flavour.

need to see if I can get some miniature of theses - really hard to find them here in Oz

Gave the New Zealand double wood 12yr a go the other day and not too bad at all very smooth.

Also a special mention to the redskin vodka. Bottle of vodka throw a few redskins in lid on and in the dishwasher for a cycle then in the freezer for a cool down. Very easy drinking!

Had a mate who did it with skittles. He was anal and would separate the colours and then he'd have a few bottles of vodka all in different colours. Bishes loved it.

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
