Has Aberlour Abunadh gotten any better? Their batches got a lot harsher around the early 40s.

I have been on a rum kick lately, and this fit the bill:
The Glendronach 12 is my new standard drinking bottle. I preferred the medicinal peated varieties for awhile, but my palate prefers the subdued sweetness of the sherry finished ones as of late. This one is very gentle on the nose and palate, surprisingly oaky, with just bit of of tobacco sharpness on the finish, almost like chewing on a cigar.
It came as a gift and ended up changing my whole taste in scotch.

Just a Christmas present from my sister-in-law and a decent blend I couldn't pass up at $25 a fifth.
Having a wee nip now.

I is a wonderful scotch! It’s very mellow and smooth. Plus the rum notes are killer.Damn, I bet that would be right up my alley!

Warning.......it’s addicting 🥃
I haven't been able to find that in my neck of the woods since finishing a fifth I got as a present 2 years ago. Good stuff.

So how was it? Considering the price of Japanese whiskey, reviews are probably as close as I will get to a dram of it. 😀

Good. I’m not a big scotch or Japanese whiskey guy. This was the first Japanese I bought. Very smooth and buttery. Goes for about $60 or $70 a bottle so not to crazy to add to the collection.
Suntory has blended whiskey called Toki, that around here sells thirty dollars. I picked up a bottle but have not tried it yet.
ETA: <thread drift> While doing the search for the above link, I noticed that Suntory has other products such as soft drinks, etc. and did a search on Amazon to see what was available and along with the coffees, teas, and such there were some other curious offerings. Apparently Hibiki has other meanings in Japan. NSFW

I was at a guys dinner last night, and hidden among the liquor bottles was a 1/4 full bottle of Balvenie 14. Bizarrely, everyone was drinking blended whiskey on the rocks and going on about “smooth” and so on. I kept politely passing on Eagle Rare and the like, and ended up polishing off the single malt with literally no competition.I have been on a rum kick lately, and this fit the bill:
