What Wee Dram are you enjoying now?

[unclebunk]

Powers 12 last night and a bit of Connemara Peated Single Malt to finish the night off. Definitely a bourbon football day today though!

[unclebunk]

Trying Highland Park 12 AND 18 for the first time ever. I bought a bottle of the 12 that came with a mini bottle of the 18. While I definitely prefer the 18, the 12 is very good.

[Tennessee Dave]

Balvenie Doublewood and Bowmore 12 tonight

[ChainWhip]

Good ole reliable Talisker 10.

Need to find more of the 18 at the old price point.

Didn't even notice there was a 'foreign whiskey' section. Nice! Nothing at the moment but enjoyed some Yamazaki 12 Year last night, really enjoy that stuff.

Initiated a contract to sell my house and poured an 18 year single cask Ardbeg to celebrate.

Good fortune upon your sale! What a way to celebrate! :-)

Yoichi 10 (by way of Viti's in Vancouver BC) - I'm a fan of Nikka

[OscarV]

Laphroaig 10yo, neat.

Getting the palate in shape for tomorrow night, Robert Burns birthday celebration.

[Josh]

Some Ardbeg Uisgelalsd;fkljo (or however it's spelled) tonight for the same reason!

[Tennessee Dave]

Bruichladdie 'Laddie 10", Bowmore 12 and a bit of Redbreast 12 Irish last evening.

[Gillman]

Glenlivet 15 years old French Oak.

One of the best malts, elegant, perfumed from the French wood (thus Cognac-like), refined. Not a big bruiser, or an all-rounder like HP 18 but the soft Speyside part of the equation.

Getting the chill out with a beginning pour of Highland Park 12 followed by a Laphroaig 10. Peaty pours are indeed a satisfying warmer-upper.

[Tennessee Dave]

Highland Park 12 and Springbank 10 100 proof

[BAO]

Late report here. Enjoyed the Costco Macallan 15 and Costco Speyside 20. The Lag 16 y'all have been heavy on is still affecting my smoke detectors. Going to have to ease in to this one over time.

No kidding. That one goes down way too easily. I find it for $65ish occasionally. A phenomenal malt.

[MacinJosh]

Anyone had that Lag 21 that Whisky Advocate just gave Islay malt of the year?

My mouth was watering reading DB's notes.

$65 for the 18?! Buy em all up if you see that deal again!

I've been tempted to get a bottle but then I look at my savings account and weep. :-(.......

$65 for Talisker 18 is an amazing deal. Funny thing is, I seem to recall someone from Indy telling me they were regularly picking up Laphroiag 18 for a similar price when I can only find it for around $100 here in Chicago. Time to move to Indy!:grin:

$65 for Talisker 18.

And that was me getting the Froaig 18 for $58.

Although they've now raised the price to $63ish.

*sigh*

Color me green. =]b

Oh, and I just loaded up on 4 Ardbeg 10's for $36 (I get 10% off). That sale at V&T ends in two days.

Why, the audacity of those shop owners! That's an outrage!:grin:

You have GOT to be kidding me. $36 for Ardbeg 10?:bigeyes: Can I ask what you're paying for HP 18? Or maybe I don't even really want to know.:cry:

That one is probably closer to your pricing. I want to say its around $93ish? So 10% off that price.

I'm not a huge HP fan. I like it, but too many other bottles I'd rather have for the price.

I'd never turn down a pour though.

[Yeti]

$93 is a GREAT price for HP18. 10% more off that is ridiculous. About as ridiculous as $36 Ardbeg. I think the local prices here would be around $49 and $120 for those two.

The notable deals I can think of in Charleston, WV would be Glenfiddich 15 for about $43, Balvenie 15 for $60, and Glenfarclas 21 for $95.
