The 16 tasted a lot better after it had been opened and sat for a few weeks

I like a good Scotch Single Malt*(my fave being Dalwhinnie). I tried Bushmills 16yo and it was no contest. Hands down the nicest I've ever tasted.

Welcome Theo !

The 16 is in my book a 9.4 out of 10 the 21 is a 9.9

Scotch
 

Here is my bar which includes the Bushmills 21, Middleton Barry Crockett, GL 25 year etc. what is missing is the GL 18 I find that the best bang for the dollar spent. However in the last couple of years it has went from below $100 to north of $130 so not so much any more.

love the Bushmill 16, jut picked up a bottle this week in Fl (ABC) for 72 bucks ! that's a bargain compared to Pa (when you can find it)
