Which Water of Life Did You Purchase Today?

[sutton]

A Glenfarclas 12 while on vacation ... I have had older Glenfarclas so will be interested to see how this compares.

[redbear]

I found a ~2005 HP18 at 2005 prices. Just $78. Usually it's $100 or more around here.

Also picked up a JMR "Smooth Sweeter One" for the hell of it. I'm curious about these blends.

I paid $115 for my last HP18, that is a smoking deal enjoy it one of my faves!

Took a cut-off from my Sunday bike ride to stop at my local whiskey monger. Picked up a Hibiki 12 yr just cuz the bottle looked so purdy.

Grabbed another bottle of Yamazaki 12 and my first ever bottle of Yamazaki 18. Love the former and can't wait to try the latter.

Care package came in the mail today containing a Forty Creek Confederation Oak, and a 375 of Alberta Premium Rye.

Excited to try both, not often, if ever, get to try some of these that are available across the border and not readily available in the states.

Thank you!

Still dying to try Alberta Premium but haven't been able to score a bottle. What do you think of it?

For being a 100% rye, it sure doesn't drink like the other ones marketed within the states currently.

it is quite the pleasantly and somewhat mild sipper compared to them, but the rye nature still come through clear.

if it was available, it would be something that I would buy and suggest to another.

Picked up some Irish whiskey yesterday. Went with bottles of Powers 12 and Jameson 12 for a change of pace. I'm sure they won't last long.

[MyOldKyDram]

Grabbed a Powers 12 today, myself.

Got a couple of Laphroaig Cairdeas Origins yesterday - $59 at Montgomery County stores and plenty of them, so go get them! However, I missed the Ardbeg Galileos by a few hours, darn it...

[LostBottle]

Eh...I wouldn't say you missed the Galileo. From what I am hearing, it is overhyped (like most Ardbeg stuff now) and not that great. A friend and I split a bottle, so I will post my thoughts when I receive it.

Picked up a Rittenhouse 21 year old ( to complete my collection ) and a Reservoir Rye today in Virginia.

Picked up a bottle of Ardbeg Galileo today. This one goes into the closet.

Balvenie Tun 1401 Batch #3 and a new Ardbeg Uigedail.

Taking a gamble on the Balvenie, as I've never tried it. Supposed to be outstanding if the reviews are to be trusted. Don't know if I'll be able to wait for a "special occasion" to open it. Maybe I'll just make Friday special?

The Oogie is a favorite, but it took me more than a year to finish the bottle. None of my friends share my love for Islay.

Due to a recent thread bump, picked up a bottle of Wiser's Legacy today while out. Not often I wander north of the border, but the going on what folks and said, my curiosity got the best of me.

Nice - the 'Pinnacle Rye Blend' sounds like it has potential. Please post your notes when you crack that sucker as I am entertaining the possibility of picking some up in Vancouver. If I stumble upon an Alberta Premium 25, I am bringing that back too.

I pulled the trigger on an Ardbeg Corryvreckan,did a little hunting and hoping to find an Ardbeg Day,but no such luck.The oogie and the corry are always favorites so I'm not to disappointed.At $75 with my punch card the wife was happy too!:grin:

[HighInTheMtns]

Love Corryvreckan. Nice pickup.

Nothing today thanks to Texas liquor laws, but did pick up a bottle of Larceny for $20 yesterday after reading comments on the forum and a positive review from one of my car buddies.

Clynelish 14. First time I've tried it. After opening it, am wondering why I waited so long.:grin:
