Most recent acquisitions are

Ardmore Traditional Cask
Laphroaig Cairdeas
Ardbeg Corryvreckan
Ardbeg Renaissance
Bruichladdich 1989 Full Strength

have only opened the Ardmore so far

Its interesting that you are able to get hold of a Ardbeg Corryvreckan as they dont ship overseas. How did you get hold of a bottle?

[LeoDLion]

My two sons visited two weeks ago and the oldest is a single malt enthusiast. I then purchase the ff from Specs:

Ardbeg 10
Clynelish 18
Talisker 18
Benriarch Curiositas
Arran 18
Aberlour Abunad

My favorite of the lot is the Benriarch. I then bought a Lag and a Laph QC for him to take home.

I bought Ardbeg Renaissance and Aberlour A'bunadh 16 yrs old.

I love the A'bunadh. How's the Ardberg Renaissance?

[CorvallisCracker]

I bought...Aberlour A'bunadh 16 yrs old.

Huh?

a'bunadh - at least every bottle I've seen - is NAS.

Aberlour has a 12yo and 16yo, fairly well-distributed (can get them here in OR anyway), but these are not labelled "a'bunadh". Another significant difference is that the 12 and 16 are aged in a combination of ex-sherry and ex-bourbon casks, and the a'bunadh is 100% ex-sherry.

Aberlour makes a 15yo that's 100% sherry-cask aged. I may buy one at some point.

You are right, its only Aberlour 16 yrs old not the Aberlour A'bunadth. I am curious as to how the combination sherry and bourbon mixes.

It has not arrived, the Renaissance will be delayed another week due to no stock.
