Which Water of Life Did You Purchase Today?

[JamesW]

A couple bottles of The Black Bottle (no way to get proper syntax in that sentence, sin tax is a whole nuther subject) and a handle of Jameson, a bottle of Four Roses Small Batch. Whee!

Black Bottle is an excellent value. Isaly on the cheap!

I'm up in Canada and I picked up a Compass Box Peat Monster for the first time. Just cracked it open and find it rather good.

...make that very good!

Yeah, it's nice. Price went down almost $10 recently, too. It is a vatting of Caol Ila and Ardmore, if I'm not mistaken.

Yes, Caol Ila, Ardmore, and now some Laphroaig added too if I'm not mistaken. I paid $58 CDN, I hope the price stays there.

It is. And damned tasty for those of us who like that sort of thing. But I won't recommend it to all and sundry..it's already hard to find around here.

while traveling farther east along the Florida panhandle than usual, I found Yamazaki 12yo at $29.99. One bottle came home with me. I never expected to find this Japanese whisky within driving distance. Easy sales pitch for the wife: "oooohh, remember in Lost in Translation when Bill Murray's character goes to Japan to shoot a commercial for Suntory Whisky?"

Excellent stuff, that. Nice sales pitch, too.

I picked up some Alberta Premium as a backup bottle for my camping trip. Very good stuff in its own right. Now my camping lineup consists of:

Alberta Premium Canadian rye
Cutty Sark blended Scotch
Corner Creek Reserve bourbon
1997 Dalmore
1997 Caol Ila

Personally, as much as I love the Laphroaig Cask Strength, I prefer the Quarter Cask for some reason. I can't quite put my finger on why that is but I'll keep drinking and get back to you. Hope you love it, just the same.

I haven't tried the Quarter Cask yet, but I'll put that next on the list to pick up a bottle in the future. I really enjoyed the Cask Strength last night, and it definitely lived up to the expectations that had been set for it.

rather than start a new thread, I'll just ask here.
anyone see Isle of Jura Prophecy on the shelves yet?

Binny's had some tastings last week, so I figure it's close.
It was my group's favorite at WhiskeyFest. Can't wait.
