ThomasH Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I am going on a trip next week and got a new camera today. I figured I would kill 2 birds with one stone: test the camera and post my stash. Here goes, some pics have some miscellaneous bottles grouped together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasH Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 The last group of pictures. A big thankyou goes out to my daughter Allie ( recently promoted to the 7th grade) who helped me post the pics. I taught her well. Or maybe it was the other way around. All this posting makes me thirsty. Now to figure out what to drink. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camduncan Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Awesome collection there Thomas. It's also great to see some genuine "Aussies" in there :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighTower Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Well.....the camera works!That's a very broad collection of fine whisk(e)y there my friend!Nice work!Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilsFan Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Thomas, That is one impressive collection! Last time I saw the Charter 101 & FR 120th they were in bubble wrap...they look a lot better in your cabinet. Thanks again for the Centennial.I copied the picture of the older version of Weller 12 yr...Gblicktold me about how that version is better than the current one (although the new version is really good) so now I know exactly what to look for.Have a great hunt on your trip to Florida!-Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozilla Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Yeah...that is a great collection of bottles. Looks like you have the bases very well covered.Can I please get a report on the AA barrel 107....can you compare it to any of the other AA or AAA? Also, can you describe the St. George, does it taste like anything else on the market? Thanks and good work on the stash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorvallisCracker Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Also, can you describe the St. George, does it taste like anything else on the market? I'll offer an opinion on that.It's an unpeated barley malt whiskey, so it's a lot like Irish or lowland malt Scotch. It's not very old, so it lacks complexity and depth. On the other hand, it's very forward, almost fruity. It's clean and very smooth.It is a bit pricey for something so young.I went through a bottle of it when I lived in FL. Can't get it here in OR.

mozilla Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Thanks Scott,I saw a bottle in invintory when I worked in the industry. Had a hard time believing it was worth the astronomical price. I appreciate your review...I always wondered what $200 malt whisky tasted like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasH Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 When I bought my St. Georges bottle, it was something like 35.00-37.00. Where did you see one for 200.00? I think Binnys has both the St Georges and McCarthy Oregon malts listed on their site!Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate your review...I always wondered what $200 malt whisky tasted like.$200?Now I'm wondering if we're talking about the same thing.I'm talking about the whiskey made by St. George Spirits in California.Caddell-Williams has it on their web site for $45 (which is still kind of high for what it is).

mozilla Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 It has been a few years.....but the bottle looks the same. Is there by chance an aged version? Maybe, I mistook the price in the computer. I remember searching the bottle out to see what such an expensive whiskey looked like, there was only one bottle in 48 stores. The company I worked for also had White Bison for over the $100 mark.....way to much for a product from Weston Mo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The company I worked for also had White Bison for over the $100 mark.....way to much for a product from Weston Mo.I think there's only one version, the six year old.BTW, here's the notes from Jackson and Broom at Whisky magazine.It's interesting that their notes describe it almost exactly as I remember it, but they give it a low score. As I said, I liked it, but I have to admit it's different.If I was some sort of Master Blender trying to create an "ultimate vatting" of unpeated malts (including Irish and lowland Scotch), I'd want to have the St. George there on the shelf. The freshness and fruit would add an interesting element to the blend, if skillfully done.As an aside, I discovered there's a new English distillery, St. George, that will be releasing its first bottling this coming December. Don't know if they plan to export to the US but they'd better expect a lawsuit from the California company if they do.

mozilla Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Alright, I just figured out where I went wrong. It was not St George.....it was Charbay! It wasn't until I saw Chucks post today that I caught a clue. Sorry for the mix up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasH Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I have seen bottles of Charbay for 300.00+ online already. I think I'll pass!Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilidawg7 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Here are a few pictures of my stash. Both pictures include the same bottles, I just moved the back row to the front in the 2nd picture for a better view. I am working with a buddy of mine to make a small display case. For right now, they're all up in a closet, except a few favorites which get to stay in the kitchen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
