    Not really a rum drinker, bought this from the last deal on the recommendation of other OzBargainers, and was not disappointed; real nice drop!

  • Got the 12yr cask strength for $99 on Amazon last year.

    I would have to say, one of my worst whisky purchases of last year. Very alcohol forward and quite hot, not much flavour in there.

      Did you try adding water?
      https://www.smws.com.au/how-to-enjoy-cask-strength-whisky/

      Being cask strength they didn't dilute it with water from the distillery before hand as they do with the typical 1s you buy that are 40-43%.

      See how you go 😉

      • I have quite a few cask strength whiskies in the collection and love a wee dram that has bite. I always like to try my whisky straight befote deciding if i want to bring it down to 46 - 43%. Appreciate the tip that you have provided, not knowing if i have any experience with whisky. In this Lagavulin example i was just providing a personal experience on the drop. This one isn't for me but others may enjoy it. I'll come to ot in a few months and see if has improved

    • Did you try the johnnie walker black label islay origin. Pure malts and supposedly large proportion of lagavulin in it.

    • Most reviewers agree the diego special releases have slowly gotten worse over time. The 2022 and 2021 laga 12yr are noticeably nicer.

  • Highly recommend the Ronny XO. Purchased it last year for $200 and will be buying two bottles at this price.

  • More a whisky drinker but picked this up when it was $149, nice drop, I think its worth it even for the extra 10. Not sure if it still works but if you register new accounts can get 5% off first order, think it was NEW5 or WELCOME5.
