$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.

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
