Tried the Octomore black at whisky live a while back. It's brilliant.

The starward range is going great guns at the moment too.
Reviews sound like it is decent.
Yeah. It is like that. I have more than enough to last myself a lifetime. Jim Murray's Whisky Bible is worth the $20 or so - really good for getting your head around what sort of taste the different regions produce.I'm not an expert but I'm starting to get into scotch a bit more. I'd like to build a bit of a collection the problem is I keep drinking it.
Bought a bottle of this after reading similar reviews to the ones you must have read

Picked up a litre of Ardbeg 10.
Have heard really good things, but that its very peaty and strong.
I opened the bottle and had a smell, it was overpowering. I think I'm in over my head with this one. Have been told its not a beginner's scotch.
it's too much for me in terms of peat but perhaps it could be good with ice and a little time for the palate to adjust
Im a fan of the Ardberg, but I liked to Octomore black which is basically pure moss and peat so im a little different.
I was thinking of a small wood cabinet, what is this bar trolley look like?Folow up question: How do most people maintain their collection? Did you buy a bar trolley or something like that? I was thinking of getting a small bar trolley but choice seems pretty limited, and I'd like something big enough to store a fairly decent collection.
I don't want to have an awesome scotch collection and just leave it in the cupboard...
Ardbeg is great. I drink it neat.
I'm now a fan. But it doesn't smell or look good you have to admit.
It will probably just take you a while to get used to the massive peat smoke aroma, I disagree strongly that it has any potent alcohol/metho-type smell. The colour can be a bit off putting for someone getting into whisky but that's what a 10 year old whisky which hasn't been aged in ex-wine barrels will look like without artificial colouring added.
Arbeg 10 was my first Islay whisky and I was a little indifferent about it at first but quickly grew to love it. Now own four different Arbegs which are all among my favourite whiskies.
Yeah look I think I'm doin this scotch thing wrong cause I just forked out over a hundred bucks on a blend and I absolutely love it.
Hibiki masters select. So many flavours. Can only get it at duty free I think but damn I love this stuff.
Bought a cheap bottle of kakubin.
Terribly disappointing.
Any better Japanese whiskies?
I was hoping it would be like their cars and food (excellent).
