jeffrey r Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Spring has sprung, so perhaps time to start a new purchase thread. Picked up a couple of bottles this past weekend. Kilkerran 8 Year Cask Strength, and a random Signatory 16 year Glenlivet, NCF and distilled in 1998, and matured in 1st fill sherry butt. Both should be pretty interesting. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marekv8 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Off to a slow start here in Las Vegas. I've found quite a few dusty single malts in oddball bullet-proof shops near the strip, but nothing worth the trouble of flying back with. At least I know where they'll be if I have a change of heart. This Pullman, however, looked interesting... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine it would be fun to compare that to an older Nadurra, you know, for science... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marekv8 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Sorry, had my facts wrong on the previous post. Found this 1979/2004 “Seagull Label” gathering dust on the shelf on the outskirts of Las Vegas today. It was a memorable adventure with a particularly participatory taxt driver.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCWoody Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 A friend of mine purchased this today, he said that the 15-year-old was fantastic so he thought this would be great. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasled Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Doubled up on the SB 21 (it's very good...), along with a GF 21 store pick (48%) and the new Kilkerran, which should be interesting as it's 3 years old. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marekv8 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 From the dusty little LS in Dallas an hour walk from the downtown hotel. I hit four other shops on the way there and was ready to throw in the towel, but persistence prevailed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryT Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I may try that tonight! I did open her up, and could get some of the smoke - but when that smells 'faint' - I know it all ain't working But maybe a couple ounces might help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrey r Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 Picked up an Aultmore 18. Enjoy the Aultmore 12, and figured I would give the 18 a try. While I was at it, also bought a Deanston 12. Been meaning to give Deanston a try. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marekv8 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 The packaging choices on this one were quite disappointing— lost the shoulder coin and the outer box scuffed the label to death— hopefully the liquid is tremendous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marekv8 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 A pair of tens-- nothing exotic but my hope is that they'll provide nice strength of distillery character at a lower proof. Plus, another G&M Distillery Label... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpfratn Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I picked up a GM Mortlach 25yr on the way to Bardstown, and shared it with everyone that wanted to try it at the Sampler cookout Saturday. Given the change in the level of the bottle’s contents, I think it was fairly well received by those who dare to venture to the dark side at a more bourbon centric type of event. I think it’s very good, and was very reasonably priced for a 25yr scotch. I also picked up a Caol Ila 18yr unpeated (2017 LE) that I haven’t opened yet, but have high hopes for since the 17yr one was so good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Deanston 12, the switch to 46% was really beneficial to that one though superficially I think the current label is less attractive than the first iteration at 46%, the Whisky inside is still good though.
