tanstaafl2 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Trying to finish out my basic Islay collection. Added The Laddie Ten, Lagavulin 16yo and Caol Ila 12yo yesterday. Still trying to decide between (and find) Ardbeg Uigeadail and Corryvreckan to finish it out. Uigeadail is around but costs $100+ which seems high and I haven't seen the Corry on the shelves lately. Seems a bit much when TPS has both at around $90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I've been through a few bottles of both and I definitely prefer the Corry. They're both excellent. Many people feel the Oogie has more batch variation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it appears the Oogie tends to have more sherry finish to it from what I read. Haven't personally tried either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can find last year's Ardbeg Day, that'd be close to splitting the difference between the Oogie & the Corry IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compliance Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Yeah, Uigeadail is $59 out here. Most places aren't that cheap, but it's nowhere close to $100 anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black mamba Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I finally got tired of waiting for it to be available here in MO, so ordered a couple fifths of Powers John's Lane off the net. Should be here by next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drunk Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Found a bunch of Balvenie 10 Founder's Reserve over the weekend. Bright neon tag sitting under at least half a dozen bottles. They've probably been sitting there for years. Grabbed one for $30 to test it out. Cork was a little iffy, but came out relatively clean. I've only had the 12 yr doublewood, which I enjoyed, but this one is nice. Might have to go back and make him an offer on the rest of them.

squire Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 That's a real find especially for $30.00. The 10 year Founder's Reserve had finesse that has now been covered up in wood in the older expressions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
