Wow, is that yours? Isn't that stuff priceless or something?

I picked up some Te Bheag, a nice honied, peaty blend with a high proportion of aged malts.

While I was out of town this week, FedEx was kind enough to deliver my Cadenhead's bottling of Glen Mhor 19 year distilled in August 1976 (finally, a true anniversary distilling as the last turned out to be from March not August of '76). A very nice end to a successful business trip! :grin:

I picked up a bottle of Aberlour A'bunadh today. I love this stuff. I haven't sampled anything form this distillery that I don't like.

[AVB]

Got a bottle of Inchmurrin 12 for the collection. I now only need one more to complete my goal of having a representative bottle of every SMS distillery that produced since 1956. 127 by my count, 126 down - one to go.

VA ABC has the Bushmills 1608 on clearance so I picked up a bottle. Before, the price was somewhat prohibitive but on sale....I went ahead and pulled the trigger.

My Balvenie Cuban Selection finally came in yesterday. Released only in France last year it took me quite some time to find a contact and get one.

[bigtoys]

waiting for Isle of Jura Prophecy to arrive. Had it at WhiskyFest Friday night and it was my favorite of the night.

Hmmm...the rum finishes tend to scare me away. I've had a couple that I didn't much care for. If you open it sometime soon, let me know your thoughts. I really like the Balvenie line so this one is intriguing.

[AVB]

Really? I've liked almost all the ones I've had starting with the Glenfiddich Havana Reserve, Balvenie Golden Cask, Balvenie Rum Wood 14 and the Macnamara Rum Finish. The one that I thought did disappoint was the Balvenie Rum Cask 17, certainly not as good as the Rum Wood of three years earlier.

I do have plans to open this one at a get together in July.

I just bought another bottle of Caol Ila 12 too, along with a bottle of Laphroaig 10. Quarter Cask was sold out... damn it! :smiley_acbt:

This one was given to me by my neighbor's daughter after cleaning out his house. 1963 or 64 12 yo old and the fill level is still upper shoulder.

Well I did take care of his lawn for the last 5 or 6 years of his life before he passed on but it was still very unexpected and appreciated.

Stuff like that doesn't happen to me. I must not have that "give this guy the just found rare whiskey" face. Congrats on the collection - very impressive.

I brought home a bottle of Talisker 10 today.

[ACDetroit]

Not today but last weekend in Houston I grabbed a couple bottles of Laphroaig 10 year old pre Prince of Wales days. One has been placed in the bunker and the other was traded to a good friend! :cool:

Can you tell me how you dated it so closely to those years? I've come across some '50s, '60s or '70s bottles and can't always be accurate, even to which decade. American bottles are much more obvious. With Scotch I've mainly depended on the foil closure/seals to give me a rough estimate.

Nice find, BTW. Have you opened it yet?

[birdman1099]

I brought home a Scotts Selection Glen Grant 1967 Sherry cask. Can't wait to crack it !!!:grin:

[boss302]

Managed to score an SLO of the Glenmorangie Sonnalta PX (Pedro-Ximenez).

This is rumored to be the King of all Sherry-FINISHED (not exclusively Sherry matured) whiskies!

I have no tasting notes as of yet, since I'm waiting for a special occasion to crack it open!

[dean_martin]

picked up my first Irish - Bushmills 10yr old single malt - last one on the shelf. Plenty of Black Bush around to try later.

[ebo]

I picked up a bottle of Aberfeldy 12 this evening. I've never tried this one before. I'll crack it open this weekend... hopefully, I'll like it. :yum:
