Re: Drinking Thread: Three Sheets To The Wind
Yamazaki 18 is an ok tasting whiskey. It’s about 4-8x the cost I would put it at. It’s driven mostly by hype and scarcity. I’ve had the 12 and the 18 side-by-side and the only thing they reallly, really have going for them is their flawlessness. And I don’t necessarily mean that in a good way. Because they lose a lot of character being perfect. I wouldn’t pay anywhere close to face or market price. Fun once or twice to say you’ve had it, but I wouldn’t spend it on a bottle. It’s just a little too boring.
