tanstaafl2 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Picked up a couple of Glendronach 12yo bottles that were bottled in 2013 at what seemed like a decent price based on the supposition that they were really closer to 18yo. They do have a rather nice color on them for a whisky that claims to be uncolored and unfiltered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 As one of our credos at GBS is to Take care of our own, I brought home bottles of Compass Box Flaming Heart and Peat Monster, today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl2 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 From the recent past & a wee bit dusty: Compass Box Eleuthera, bottled May 200215yo Brora from recharred casks sounds rather tasty if there is enough in the vatting to make itself known. The Port Askaig portion seems a bit of a mystery. I wonder if it is an euphemism for an undisclosed Islay producer? One site suggests it is Caol Ila. http://www.compassboxwhisky.com/pdf/PastWhiskies.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trey Manthey Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Keeping with the Compass Box theme, I bought a bottle of The General. Probably my favorite whisky label ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savagehenry Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 My wife just brought home my first bottle of Springbank, the 15 year. Had a dram in London last week and really enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutton Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Bought my brother a Michel Couvreur 12yr Overaged Malt Whisky for his 50th ... he's a Scotch drinker but sticks to a few bottlings. Wanted to surprise him with something a bit unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjhowell Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 This one is 28.25. Very nice. I'm lucky as the gentlement that runs the society in the US is a good friend and his office is about a mile from my house. Get to try a lot of the society bottles on a regular basis.

bjhowell Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Dont know. There is new stuff coming in all the time. Give them a call and they can likely tell you if they have any in the pipeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl2 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 As if you cruel enablers didn't already know that this was inevitable... 27 barrels ranging from 1997 (Arran didn't open until 1995) to 2004 with the peated 2004 whisky the oldest peated whisky they have. About 60% ex-sherry casks make up the vatting. Not sure how that compares to the original Punch Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holdtheice Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 That is an intense amber. Surely it must be a first fill sherry cask. Best of all, you avoided the premiumisation taxes on the new bottlings. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnDew Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I know I'm a little passed St Paddys day, but I went a little Irish crazy today. So far popped the Green Spot and really enjoyed it.

MtnDew Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I would love to get some of the Teeling to try but it seems to be primarily out on the West Coast at the moment.. It does seem to be that way, I know I saw bottles in BC as well but the Canadian price was a fair bit higher.And CW, I did indeed get the right powers. I've wanted to try the signature and I already have a PJL 12 to compare it against. Just need a regular red breast and I'll have the lineup I want.

tanstaafl2 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Didn't buy them today exactly but among the several bottles I bought or picked up at the Sampler were a few malts to include a Caol Ila Sauternes finish, a couple of intriguing Longrow's and this little beauty, a Bowmore 1991 16yo cask strength port "matured", all courtesy of a kind fellow SBer. Looking forward to all of them but that one in particular! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
