BigRich Posted March 24, 2018 Oh the self control tanked today. I went to the LS for a Redbreast Cask Strength refill but a Yellow Spot, Springbank 12CS, and Talisker 18 all ended up in the box too. I don’t know what happened. I blinked and they were in my truck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reeko Posted March 25, 2018 You have good taste! I wish I could find more redbreast cask strength, but no ls around me has any. But I'm enjoying what I have now. I'm hoping to get more in the states. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clueby Posted March 25, 2018 This came home with me today..$89.99+tax. There was a 2nd bottle I left behind and a bottle of Auriverdes for a very reasonable price. My wife actually pointed them out. They were on the counter with a wine tasting they had going on. Said he had them upstairs in the office for a while and just decided to put them out. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember it being at least the equal of Oogie. Its sherry influence is different than Oogie's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found it pretty....different than other Ardbeg. Suffice to say, I’m glad my bottle is gone. I’ve also known many that liked it so it’s probably just me. I never really took to new Ardbeg. I guess I still have nostalgic longing for the old stuff.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clueby Posted March 26, 2018 My Ardbeg experience starts around that time so I don't have that longing. The new Twenty Something should be right up your alley. But that's an awfully expensive alley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kwshannon Posted March 27, 2018 Local super store is running a coupon this week where you buy $50 in food, and you get a $10 gc back. Big signs in their spirit aisle it is included. So a Laphroiag 10 came home for a net $36. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beasled Posted March 27, 2018 Picked up a couple more Benriach 2005 peated port cask and a Springer 15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevinbrink Posted March 30, 2018 Did a little dusty shopping today and these two seemed to fit the bill (one more so than the other): Also grabbed a few things on the sale shelf at the super market: 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beasled Posted April 3, 2018 Picked up some of these whilst the price is still 'reasonable'. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beasled Posted April 9, 2018 Black Bull 12 and a Craigellachie 8. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Auracom Posted April 10, 2018 can never get enough black bull... the 12 year is probably my favorite value blend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vosgar Posted April 21, 2018 The Darkside got me again today. Stopped into a Binny's and found these on the close-out "End of Bin" rack. From left to right, $49.97, $69.97, $49.97. I already have open bottles of the first two and love them both, so these will be backups. The third one was because I'm a Pultney fan and for the price, why not? Added bonus.......Binny's had a $10 off coupon for today only. There were a few more of the Strathisla on the shelf, and if they're still there in a few weeks I may have grab 'em. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a semi dusty sitting next to a 2006 bottled Arran 10ish years ago Diageo had a bunch of these themed sets on the shelf around here for $40-$50. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My local didn't have it in 'End of Bin' but after current sale ($64.99) + $10 off, I paid just about $60 on the nose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
