Teacher's Highland Cream, 40% abv
Starts with a light floral nose - very pleasant; then moves into rough and tangy territory - hard to get to the fruit which seems to be hiding behind the rough exterior (where is the delightful Ardmore?); tangy throughout. Maybe I was in a bad mood, although I don't think so. This has moved in my opinion from a pleasant dram to a barely okay and almost "desperation" dram.

Glengoyne 12 Years Old Cask Strength, 57.2% abv
Very smooth for a cask strength whisky - very smooth. Sweet demerara sugar and butterscotch on nose; sweet yet dry spices on palate; amazingly soft, smooth and long finish. A very good buy at $72.
