On the hunt for bourbon county stout and a local shop had some Black Friday deals so I picked this up for about 10 bucks off

The Daftmill was a huge surprise... and a cool affirmation of good karma.

Read something on the Daftmill that it was only available to bars at least in the UK?

This is the first Stateside Daftmill release and seems to be going underground quickly. The initial UK releases last year were surrounded by a BTAC-like frenzy. I reeled in a bottle as a gift to my favorite LS owner last year and he surprised me last week with a gift of this new release. It’s really great Lowland whisky and a shame that so few bottles are being opened and enjoyed.

Last pickup on my way to WhiskyFest... the conversations here in the pre-opening queue are priceless.

Is there a suggested retail for this one?

Ended up getting the 14yr aa it was only $54. This is not bad but not all that great. Had a pour of Springbank 10, right after and thought it was much better and it’s only a few bucks more.

Supposedly $250.00, but with the tariff frenzy it could be higher.

A sister pour of Springbank 10 after surviving WhiskyFest tonight. Interesting evening.

Seems a bit high for a 12 year but I’m clueless as well as an extreme cheapskate.

I guess to put it in perspective stuff like a BTAC is arguably under priced considering how quick it moves and the secondary pricing. If this is as popular that’s probably the right price.

I have a feeling that this will be a choice pour

Yes; they also had a 10yo Edradour fresh Oloroso that was crazy blood-like opaque, but this one seemed to be the weirder pick—

A Sauternes Ballechin is one of my favorite Malts I've had.

Really good deal.
I unfortunately did not enjoy it that much. Is it good? Yes, but probably my least favorite out of there lineup. I like the 10 year better.

I think you'll like it. I've got this bottle from Signatory, not quite the proof of yours, but it's damn good

Looks great-- you would think Edradour would have home field advantage at Signatory. The TSA ransacked my bags heavily tonight-- so hopefully I'll find everything intact shortly.

I agree the 10 is better, but for the price I paid I’m not disappointed.  Sometimes getting a deal makes things taste better ?

Arrived back to find a couple of new arrivals. This season tends to unearth interesting old stuff during year-end inventory. The Dalmore was apparently a BevMo exclusive (2013?) that ended up at another liquor store with a patina of multiple old price tags on the box top.

I was picking up a prepaid JAM Murray Hill Club I ordered at the "INTERNET DISCOUNT" and spotted a Compass Box Spice Tree (no box or tube, just the bottle) but with a "strange" label - sort of like I remembered from a few years ago when ST was first introduced.  The $60 price seemed OK, maybe even a little low for local prices for the CB ST I used to buy.  Turns out I bought a CB ST Extravaganza which IIRC has a US MSRP closer to $120.  Considering how much over WashDC MSRPs I have paid at that store over the years, we are closer to even.

 

They only had one.  No need to go looking for an other.

Absolutely OFF-THREAD!  I love that counter/table top.

I'm currently enjoying a new Canadian whiskey release, it's a rye cask strength. It definitely rivals lot 40 CS, and it's a cheaper. I don't know if our neighbors to the south will be getting this. IMG_20191203_205207.jpg
