Interesting that after a long draught-- there are several fresh indie Royal Brackla releases, and all at 11 years old. Maybe some big sell-off occurred in 2008-- I'll do some digging.

I don't know how they are to deal with from a store owners perspective, but from the consumer end, if you ever have a chance to meet Monique Huston from Winebow I think you'll be impressed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vosgar Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I came thisclose to buying a Writers Tears Double Oak today, but because the second oak is a cognac barrel I was hesitant to pull the trigger. When I got home I remembered the HH SB Select Stock bottles were finished in cognac barrels and I love those whiskies. Doh!! I'll be heading back tomorrow to pick one up.

Marekv8 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Another delivery-- this one with a batch of new aperitifs I brought in for reference. First time using my wife's tricky seamless photo table-- I'm liking it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the number of bottles in our general market this year is significantly lower than years past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marekv8 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I figured this bottle would get lost in transit-- as it was sourced and purchased well before the hammer fell. FedEx tracked me down this morning and presented me with a well-battered box, nicely done. Distilled in 2000 and bottled in 2012 with a HSE Rhum cask finish-- should be interesting.

Marekv8 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 No new bottles at the LS, so I grabbed this one that's been on his shelf for a wee bit-- it's been a Cask Strength week anyway. Understandably, the main distributor has trimmed shipments to the top 500 existing SKUs and will not bring in new releases or take special orders-- so grabbing a Wee Beastie or Rogues' Banquet is going to take some doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
