I thought i posted this yesterday but dont see it...
After having the 12, 14, and 15 which is your favorite expression from the best distillery in dufftown?
The 15 was the first scotch I really liked. The 21 was too sweet from the rum casks. I spent quite abit on the 19yr Age of Discovery as it was aged in bourbon barrels as well. liked it very much but the cost was steep. They released the 14 shortly after that but i never tried it.
Of those 3, I'd have to go with the 12. The 14, for me, gets a strange taste from the bourbon barrels. The 15 is just an odd flavor as well. That said, while I'd not purchase them again, I am enjoying them more than I did before taking a few months off from drinking. I suspect you'd like the 14 quite a bit.
However, to give you context, I am a big fan of the 21 and Balvenie Caribbean Cask, so my tastes tend towards the sweeter expressions.
