I would’ve bought a case at that price. I would have, but I only really get through one a year so no particular need to stock up. It's normally £45-£50 here.

beasled Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Some indy Bunnahabhain. 26 year old for under £170, not bad! No details on type of cask though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Picked up a Crown Royal Noble Collection 13 year old Blenders’ Mash. Crown was maybe the first whiskey I loved (ironically, can't stand the cloyingly sweet stuff anymore), and haven't read anything that left me to expect I wouldn't like it. Now just have to wait for this @#$% head cold to clear up enough to enjoy it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beasled Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Purchased through an FB group, the Springbank is a fresh port cask and the Hazelburn is a refill sherry cask. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do enjoy the various Sprinkbank special cask bottlings but have had some near misses with some of the single barrels which can be a bit painful considering they tend to be a bit spendy. Their success with small batch bottlings like the excellent cask strength 17yo Sherry Wood from a few years ago or even the 12yo Burgundy has me leaning towards those over the single barrels these days (unless I get the chance to try one first of course!).

jvd99 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Took a flyer on a Boutiquey Whisky Co. 35 year old blend - limited to something like 200 bottles. There was no info on the label so i'm wondering if they barrelled and aged the blend and it was a single barrel purchase by Binny's. I intended to just pick up a couple of cigars, but the bottle caught my eye. Slowed way down on purchasing of all spirits & concentrating on thinning out the bunker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berto Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) Douglas Laing Rock Oyster 18. The NAS bottle a friend pured for me was tasty and since K&L is clearing out the last of the 18yr I figured I should get one. Also awaiting delivery of Kilkerran 12. There's a 22yr Bowmore that's calling to me but I must shop for others before I get myself a treat... Edited December 20, 2018 by berto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still gotta try this, anybody compared this to the NAS and older releases? Yes-- doing it now. The NAS really can't compete with the other two in this line-up-- the drop-off is surprisingly dramatic. The 2011/2018 6yo has a crisp, zesty lead-off and while a wee bit more rounded and subtle, the 10yo has one hell of a finish. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
