alemmo Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I'm new here and just a beginning fan of Scotch and Bourbon. Local liquor store had an amazing deal today I couldn't pass up. Oban DE $50, Dalwhinnie DE $40, Talisker DE $40, Lagaluvin DE $60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amg Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Wow, those are some deals! I guess those DEs aren't moving much. I saw that one of my local places still has some 2012 DEs on the shelf in front of the 2013s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bourboNcigars Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Solid whisky. Takes water well.This completes my cask strength trio I was after, the laph, the ardbeg, and the naddura, next I may look into the glenfarclas 105.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbanzobean Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 This completes my cask strength trio I was after, the laph, the ardbeg, and the naddura, next I may look into the glenfarclas 105..If you're into cask strength sherry bombs, I'd highly recommend Aberlour A'bunadh as an alternative if you cannot find the 'farclas. Batches 44 and 45 are both excellent, and have a really nice resinous dried fruit character. Hard to go wrong with 105 or A'bunadh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisg Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I couldn't pass up an Ardbeg Auriverdes today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbanzobean Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I too got sucked into Ardbeg Auriverdes. The reviews seem to indicate it is similar to Ardbeg 10 with an interesting twist (At twice the price!), so I'll give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garbanzobean Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I seem to get sucked into the Ardbeg special release every year.Yeah . . . their special releases are pretty gimmicky sometimes, but the inherent quality of their 3 standard bottlings is pretty hard to argue with. It's odd comparing them to their sister distillery Glenmorangie, which is known for reasonable prices and tons of different cask finishes. At any rate, I pretty much always get sucked in and enjoy them, so I guess that makes me the fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpiz Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I bought an Auriverdes as well. Purchased it online so hopefully it will come in soon. I almost forgot about it until I saw this chain. Has anyone tried it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Power Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 My first bottles of Highland Park 18 and Balvenie 15. Going to be an interesting evening. Oh, hell yes... If you like the Balvenie 15, you might want to pick up another as they're replacing it with a sherried 15. The SB 15 is one of my favorites. Since I know you like the Glenmorangie 10, I'm guessing you'll like that one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolph Lundgren Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 A shot...from a crotch. How original! Looking forward to hearing what you think about the Sherry, Aaron. I thought it was fantastic (one of the few highlights from WhiskeyFest this year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
