When I partake I've always been mainly a scotch drinker but a few weeks ago I tried Glenmorangie Lasanta 12 and Nectar D'Or 12 which are wine finished scotches for the first time and I really like them ( maybe too much :D )......I prefer the Lasanta over the Nectar D'Or.

Time to go pour another........you folks have a good evening.
 

My Scottish hubby would be horrified at the thought of drinking a good Scotch other than straight up.

But I'm a wimp and add water.

For good scotch I like mine with just enough ice to chill things a bit Annie but rougher scotch gets ice and water.

Lasanta is aged in whiskey barrels for ten years and then two more years in sherry casks......pretty damn good stuff.
 

You should NEVER EVER put ice into a single malt. The only thing permissable is a SMALL amount of water - or more whisky:D.

As for 'finished' whisky. Depending on the distillery, whisky tends to be matured in either Sherry or Bourbon casks - sometimes both. Here's a pic taken outside the Speyside cooperage. It services casks for a number of distilleries.

My hubby completely agrees. And the tour guide at the distillery.
