BarItemsPlus1 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Here's your opportunity to show off (modestly of course-no big heads!!) your collections. Don't be afraid to list even the most modest collection and remember everything/anything goes here, so if you have whisky(Bourbon,Scotch,Irish, etc...) take a photo and post it here. Here is my Scotch for collecting....(I will drink a couple of these bottles-not the top ones though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVB Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 No photoshop, just paint to stitch the 3 pics together. This is 100 bottles and I'm up to 130 now. The only thing I collect are the Balvenie Vintage casks and I have them all except the 1952 (about $9K) and the 1964 which I'll get as soon as I find one.

BarItemsPlus1 Posted December 3, 2005 Author Share Posted December 3, 2005 Did you end up acquiring the Balvenie Rum Wood? and Islay cask? oh thanks for the tip too , cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVB Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I have an Isley Cask and was just looking for another. I have contacts in the UK just 20 km from Balvenie if my dealer can't come up with a RumWood sans VAT. While I know you have it in stock going from OZ to the east coast of the US isn't my first choice. Did you end up acquiring the Balvenie Rum Wood? and Islay cask? oh thanks for the tip too , cheers!

AVB Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Are one of those two white label Cardhu's the old 70 proof version? I have an open one and it really needs at least the extra 10 or 16 proof of the newer versions. I've heard the new release will be at 86 proof. One can always hope.

TNbourbon Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 For most of us, ALL of them are drinking bottles -- just not all at the same time, and some sooner than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barturtle Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Hey I noticed some Black Bottle back there, is it good enough to search out? I've heard it come into the states but have yet to manage to run across a bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVB Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 That is a UK version of Black Bottle 10 and if you are an Islay fan it is one of the big three vatted malts to get. The others are Peat Monster and Big Smoke. While you can't get Big Smoke in the states, or if you can I can't find anything on it, the other two are fairly easy to find in the US. So to answer your question, yes I think it is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barturtle Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Thanks, I've been wondering about that one for a while. My scotch budget is inversely proportional to my bourbon budget and therefore it seems to be quite a stretch to afford the good Bowmores and Lagavulins I like.

Edward_call_me_Ed Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Hi Barturtle, My scotch budget is inversely proportional to my bourbon budget and therefore it seems to be quite a stretch to afford the good Bowmores and Lagavulins I like. I hear you there. Compounded by the fact that good scotch is expensive. I have never had a bottle of Lagavulin even though I really like it. Every time I have considered a purchase I have gone home with two or there bottles of bourbon instead.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward_call_me_Ed Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Hi AVB, I have been eyeing a Black Bottle for a long time. I will have to pick it up one day soon.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It contains malt from the distilleries of Islay with some grain too. Very nice indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVB Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 No you are correct, my mistake on the Black Bottle. Still good stuff no matter what.
