BigRich Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 Random store in Atlanta that I don’t hit often had some Chieftan’s bottlings that I haven’t seen locally. I opted for that PX finished 19 yr cask strength NCF Glenrothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRich Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 Got some great prices on both, why not for a few special future occasions... Feel free not to answer but given the soaring Macallan prices I’m curious what constitutes a great price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvd99 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 It won’t let me post a pic of the back label, but it’s 895 bottles - 15% aged grain, 6% heavily peated, the rest is single malts from Highlands aged in American oak, French oak and sherry butts.

lcpfratn Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Amrut finally started showing up in stores in the Memphis area, so I picked up a bottle of the Single Malt Cask Strength to add to the Fusion and Spectrum 004 that I already have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marekv8 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I regularly gift all of my key LS owners-- typically with desired spirits they can't obtain locally due to distribution or legal issues. I also send food treats (New Orleans King Cakes, toffee, caramel corn, cookies, etc.) to be shared by the entire staff. This particular LS owner has a keen interest in the Daftmill story and I know that bringing in a bottle would make him quite a happy man. Of course, this isn't limited to LS owners-- I always find out what the teachers, coaches, waiters, shop-owners, hotel managers, bell captains, bartenders, etc. in my life like to drink and surprise them with bottles-- it's all part of the fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marekv8 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Back from the airport and my kind LS owner had this behind the counter-- I've been looking for an unadulterated Glendullan for quite some time. Had a small taste before heading back to the airport, it's a keeper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I saw a Macallan Rare Cask for $250, I would jump on that price too. It's one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marekv8 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 So far, Las Vegas has come through better than expected-- including a cool 1988/2016 (27yo?) Single Cask Old Pulteney (bottle no. 5 of 153) bottled at 59% ABV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl2 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Astor reports a release of Kilchoman 10yo whisky. Presumably their first one or at least the stores first one as they started distilling in 2005. Priced at a very consumer friendly $179.96 I like Kilchoman ok but, umm, no thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it will sell, but wow that is even more than I feared. I thought it would be $130, maybe. For less than $150 they have 9-10 year barrel proof single barrel selections available in the EU.
