Marekv8 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Just back from New York with a few indies. The color on the Auchroisk 12 stopped me in my tracks-- that's one hell of a first-fill bourbon influence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryT Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Snagged an older Compass Box Asyla (in a blue box rather than the beige they used more recently). Have only had this a couple of times, and don't recall what I thought - so can rectify that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them Although I was just reminded of the inconvenience of older bottles . . . Just disintegrated. Thankfully at home where the tools to remedy are readily available - just puts a 15 min delay on that initial pour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vosgar Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Found a Laphroaig 10yr CS Batch 009 today. Having bought one while on vacation in Scotland in '17 when it first came out, I was surprised to find this bottle on the shelf, especially for $57.99. Since I really enjoyed my first bottle, this was a no-brainer purchase. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marekv8 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Wasn't on my list-- hoping that it's as old school as the packaging. Natural color, NCF and 46.8% ABV are a plus for an old-timer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDN98 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Brace yourself [mention=4761]Vosgar[/mention] I just had my local set aside a MaCallan Edition 5 for me.Just picked up one from my local shop.

HoustonNit Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Yes, you should-- this is a dynamite dram with a 20w-50 viscosity and 59.5% ABV. How are you measuring the viscosity, are you timing the legs on the glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only a comparative reference to motor oil. This stuff has the mouthfeel of Drambuie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marekv8 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Pre-ordered a day before the tariff hit and luckily it all went through OK. A peated cask strength Cragganmore and a cask strength Cardhu should both offer a unique take on these distilleries. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
