BigRich Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I was looking around and the last of these threads was for spring. I’m being proactive and just calling it for Fall and Winter at this point. My Compass Box quest ended today at lunch. I went in the store that I knew had what I was looking for while I near our operations office today. A Spaniard and two single marrying casks came home with me. One Artist’s Blend and one Glasgow Blend. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dad-proof Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Did you get the last Spaniard? That's my neighborhood store and I was just there. Looked for the Spaniard and didn't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The normal stuff has "whiskies from every distillery on Islay (including Port Ellen)" though this doesn't say that, but I would assume in this instance that it probably doesn't include Port Ellen for the price. Still, should be good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Santana Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I found a Glenmorangie 3 pack (The Original, Lasanta and Quinta Ruban) for $100 at Costco. All .750 size. For that price I had to give it a shot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasled Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Not had much Glen Grant but this was a pretty decent price for the age and strength. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dig it, next time your in the states I'll have to get you a pour of the Batch Strength Bourbon Cask 15 year old pretty sure it was US only, I like it quite a bit.

Vosgar Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Being the huge fan of Redbreast 15 that I am, picked up another one when I saw it for $69. Hasn't been that cheap around here in years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't been that cheap around here in years.I would’ve bought a couple. The price on RBs had crept up so much in that I keep a bottle of the 12CS but can’t let go of the coin for any of the others. Even the pricing on the CS gives me heart palpitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinbrink Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Irish Whiskey prices are getting almost as stupid as Japanese around here only difference is the availability of true bottom shelf bottles of Irish Whiskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennessee Dave Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 3 more Benromach 10's in today. What can I say? I really like this one a LOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpfratn Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 3 more Benromach 10's in today. What can I say? I really like this one a LOT.I’ve passed on this many times because most of the reviews that I’ve seen give it just an average rating. Your enthusiasm for it has me reconsidering, so maybe I’ll pick one up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpfratn Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I’ve been passing on the two by Compass Box for quite awhile at a store that I shop at on occasion, but the low prices finally made me take the plunge. The Glendronach was one I hadn’t seen before, and I’m used to the more common sherry bomb...it was well priced so I thought I’d give it a try. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinbrink Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 A few recent purchases, a new Total Wine Blended Malt 8 year Islay that at 46% was interesting enough to convince me to give it try despite the crappy metal screw top. The other two seemed like they sat on the shelf for long enough to find a home with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwin Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I know it won't be great but I pickled up a GOT Talisker Select Reserve. I'm expecting it to be similar to the Storm expression which I enjoy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
