r.mx Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Picked up a Laphroaig 22 distilled in 1987. Also, an Ardbeg Bloodtub Valinch released by Murray McDavid. That one is going to be an interesting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbanzobean Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Received this hoss today: Bottle 10 of 362, Cask 3624 (Distilled 5/1983, bottled 8/2012). The reviews I have been able to find seem to lean toward it being 100% bourbon matured. Given the fairly dark color, I would have guessed it spent time in sherry, but I'm totally down with 100% bourbon. Given that they got 362 bottles out of the "single cask" at 29 years, I think we can assume there was a fair amount of re-racking done at some point. Regardless, it looks delicious. Too bad I'm saving this one for a rainy day . . . Might be a few years before I get a chance to open it. Edit: In case anyone was wondering, the color of the bottle isn't being affected by the furniture it's sitting on.

drunk Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Picked up a Macallan CS a couple of nights ago, and a Signatory 1996 Mortlach 12 year last week. Really digging the Mortlach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbanzobean Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Alchemist Springbank 10 (distilled December 1995, bottled April 2006--Not sure what it's been doing for the past 8 years). This one is a batch that combined first fill port and bourbon casks. Which is to say that I don't think this one is going to stay closed for very long.

garbanzobean Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Mit Farbstoff?Or maybe just a really active cask...I don't think so, it's NCF/NC. I'm really not sure what the deal is, but I'm choosing to believe it's a good sign. I guess we'll find out when I get around to opening 'er up.

garbanzobean Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Purchased a bottle of Lagavulin 16 for $44.95 as a going away present for a coworker whose last day was today. Also, couldn't resist buying an old bottling of Black Bottle to use in my Mamie Taylors. I'm predicting great success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoyScout Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Up in Calgary and decided to try some Canadian labels I hadn't seen before. So I picked up a Tangle Ridge and a CC Sherry Cask. The tasting will have to wait till I get back home to Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clavius Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Snagged a lone Glenmorangie Discovery Pack. It has a 750ml bottle of Glenmo 10yr and a 50ml bottle each of The Lasanta, The Quinta Ruban and Nectar D'Or all for the price of the 750ml. Pretty good deal to me!

garbanzobean Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Ordered a Scott's Selection Sherry Wood Ardmore 1977/2003. Had a discount code so the total price was less than $150 + shipping. I'm taking a bit of a gamble with this, but Serge seems to regard older Ardmores extremely highly, and has rated either this or its sister cask highly. I figure it's peated whisky from the late 1970s from a heavily blended distillery . . . Pretty good bet. The non-whiskyfun reviews I was able to find refer to it as "Caol Ila-like" in character, so I'm tentatively hopeful I didn't just waste my money.

tanstaafl2 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Heard its great though!Me? I'll just buy two Uigeadails instead.Around here the price of Uggie has gotten pretty stupid as well which is rather annoying. I would be lucky to get one and a half for that price.

I'm not a fan of Oogie, especially for the $70+ it goes for around here, but even at $55 I have no use for it in my cabinet. Obviously I'll be disappointed if the SN doesn't far surpass it.
