Lismore Scotch Review

Lismore Scotch Single Malt Speyside

Right off the bat I have to say this is a great value scotch. For about $23 bucks I am hard pressed to find a better vanilla/oak taste. Right away you can taste the oak and after it sits in your mouth for a second the vanilla starts to make an appearance. On the way down is where you can tell this
is not a $40 bottle. You’re left with a decent taste and a slight alcohol burn. It’s nothing bad it just lets you know you’re drinking a mans drink. For people getting into scotch I would recommend this with one or two cubes and make sure the cubes are floating. As the cubes melt the scotch will get lighter at the cost of some loss in flavor. For those people looking for maximum taste it is good enough to drink neat, with some whiskey stones, or a half cube just to release the flavor and cool it a bit.
In the end, Lismore is a go­-to value Scotch for me when I need to fill my dedicated Oak decanter and feel like pinching pennies.
On a side note, I had Glenlivet 12yr before this Lismore bottle and there is a noticeable difference in quality/taste. Similar tastes, but Glenlivet 12 is more refined.

I do love a chilled Scotch or Bourbon, but I usually do not like when it gets too watered down. Well these Ice Balls just get the job done. Yes you can purchase a pretty ice ball maker for somewhere in about the $500-$1000 dollar range. These bad boys are under $20 bucks. Yes they don’t create the spheres in two minutes, but what I do is make a whole bunch of them and fill large zip lock freezer bag for future usage. To use them simply fill them with water and freeze. I love them! They are available all over.  I  found them on Amazon>manrelm Amazon Click Here

I just received two of the coolest coasters that I have ever seen.  Yea that’s right…I never even thought I would want to use a coaster.  I would just use a piece of towel or the table itself.  Well these bad boys are cool and very useful too.  These coasters are very rugged and made out of granite and rubber.  They also come with two scotch glasses and a soap stone for each to help cool your beverage.  They store in the freezer and come out chilled to help cool your drink without the usage of ice.  Also, a major benefit is that they are almost nearly impossible to tip over.  Very cool feature for us, “bull in a China shop” folk.  So,  if you are looking for a nice landing zone for your beverages and if you want to enjoy a nice cool, Scotch or cool Bourbon with out watering it down, and if you want to almost eliminate the chance of spilling your, “nectar of the Gods”, these are the tools for you.
