Poured the absolute last drop from another bottle of Laphroaig 10yr. Time to replace it!
Finally finished my birthday bottle, Glenfarclas 30. Maybe my favorite sherried Speysider. It will be missed.
I know your position on "reserving" bottles, but there's a 'farclas 40 already in the closet. Here's to not dying for another decade!

Finished my first pair of Signatory Cask Strength Collection bottles. A 1996 Glenlivet that spent 6 days short of 15 years in a sherry butt, bottled at 57.1%. This one was the perfect Christmas time drink. It was distilled on Halloween day in 1996, so I opened it for Halloween this year which as good timing. Tasted of cinnamon and spice and warm pastries.
The other was a 1995 Laphroaig aged 16 years in a bourbon hogshead, bottled at 60%. God I love Laphroaig. Massive salty-sweet kick with more integrated fruit and slightly less peat than you get in the 10 year, no doubt from the extra aging. This only yielded 233 bottles, but there are plenty of "sister casks" out there (Cask #38-44 from what I've seen). May have to pick one up...
Balvenie 17 Madeira hit the recycle bin tonight - should've stocked up on this one

JW Green Label. Simply the best by far, of the Walker line. All 100% malt. Need to stock pile this stuff.
I preferred the Gold myself but not at today's prices.
