garbanzobean Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Had an Oban 18 in hand but ended up putting it back to buy my first bottle of armagnac. DeLord 25 yr bas armagnac. Wasn't sure if it was worth the price, but my liquor guy recommended it as approachable but interesting and a good example of armagnac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvd99 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Passed on the new Springbank 17 Sherry Wood with baby blue label and box for $199, though considering it still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronWF Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Passed on the new Springbank 17 Sherry Wood with baby blue label and box for $199, though considering it still.The fresh sherry one? I passed on it too, but it argued with me. And won. It's in my glass at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvd99 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I believe it's a brand new release with all baby blue packaging/label - it's hard to miss. It's not the one with with the black packaging/label (with red letters) that's been around for awhile now. I'm not pulling the trigger just yet, but it's only a matter of time. How does it taste and is it worth the cost of admission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trey Manthey Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I've been eyeing that 17 year single cask as well. It is part of a 3 cask release of CS single casks from Pacific Edge. There's a 17 year in fresh sherry, and an 18 and 19 year in refill butts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvd99 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 There are a bunch of 14 year old ones with different woods/finishes still on the shelves, never tried them though, not enough liver capacity. There were also a 15, 16 & the 17 which Trey mentioned. All from a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garbanzobean Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Passed on the 2010 CS Auchroisk for $139+shipping. For now, anyway . . . My spending money for this month was otherwise encumbered as a result of a rather controversial decision paper published over the weekend by the worst arm of the BATFE . . .

garbanzobean Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Passed on this: http://www.lawhiskeysociety.com/whiskey-profile/976/Bowmore-1991-Dewar-Rattray-(number2062)Not sure what its been doing on the shelf for all these years, but I feel like I've got enough cask strength peated whisky. Though I do want to give sherried Bowmore a chance at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
km1589 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 been passing up Yellow Spot for close to a month now. I really enjoy Green Spot but paying double for Yellow Spot just seems tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garbanzobean Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 Online passes: Springbank 12 "green" and a store exclusive bottling of CS Dalmore 23 yr. I'm hoping the Springbank will be in Maryland before too long, and I'm trying not to spend anymore money on whisky that I'm not certain about for awhile. I do want to try Dalmore, but will probably wait. This price is right on that one, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
