ChainWhip Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Yeti and ChainWhip, your posts in this thread encourage me to do very, very bad things to my wallet.Aww c'mon... What're friends for?Now if I can just sneak a pour next time there's a tasting at your house...*grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl2 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Picked up a Highland Park 18 today with a little help from a fellow SBer. Its a little ahead of schedule as I was planning to work on Islay distilleries first before moving on to the rest of the islands but at $88 it seemed like much too good a price to pass up.I believe it will keep until I am ready to head up north and explore that area!

tanstaafl2 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 At a whisky tasting this afternoon at the local liquor store and of course went inside afterwards for a little look around. Didn't get any of the Scotch but I did come across a Tyrconnell Madeira Cask finished Irish Whiskey that was apparently pretty new to the store so that accompanied me home!

MissingKY Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 After saying, I wasn't going to buy any new whisk(e)y for a while, saw a sale on Lagavulin 16 for $64. My resolve to be thrifty died pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChainWhip Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) Very nice. Love that color.I believe it was your NOH that started me down the rabbit trail/hunt for this bottle of 1981 ;-) Edited April 2, 2013 by ChainWhip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostBottle Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 '81 'zawa is a nice score. The color of that whisky matches the wooden stopper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyOldKyDram Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 That thing just looks cool as hell. So how does it taste! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighInTheMtns Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Bought a bottle of The Black Grouse last night because Utah has delisted it and is blowing it out. My initial impressions were pretty positive, it was well worth the $15 I paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalessin Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) Meeting John Glaser at Federal Wines and Spirits a few weeks ago was a great time, and I had a friend heading down to Manhattan, so a bottle of Great King Street "New York Blend" made its way to me. It's getting cellared until I have fewer bottles open in the cabinet bar. Edited April 5, 2013 by Kalessin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting cellared until I have fewer bottles open in the cabinet bar.I went back and forth on this, especially drinking it next to the Flaming Heart, which is quite a bit more nuanced. I just drank the last of my NY Blend last night, and am convinced I need another bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theglobalguy Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Signatory 1999 Glen Rothes, new to the brand and to the distiller. Very drinkable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerlam92 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Went to a nice steak dinner the other day and started with some Macallan 17. The bartender said I should try the Jameson 18 which is much better and cheaper. I got a double and it was really good!! So today I found the spot I frequent has it for a decent price. When I got there, saw on the bottle it was $79 although system and online showed $89. So I bought two for $79 and also picked up the Redbreast 12 CS to try.

tanstaafl2 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) That Glendronach looks like it would be might tasty! Would love to have access to that. Don't know much about the Port Charlotte. Looks like a Bruchladdie bottle though. Nothing quite so fancy but picked up a Bunnahabhain 12 to add to my small but growing Islay collection.

ChainWhip Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Looks like a Bruchladdie bottle though. Yep. Port Charlotte is part of Bruichladdich's peated malts (the other being the Octomore). I've been wanting to score a bottle but didn't want to pay shipping from England so I am very happy to get one during this trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisko Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Went to the store to buy bourbon but an Irish mood hit me. So I left with a four-pack of Murphy's Stout and a bottle of Powers Gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
