RVTsteve Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Received my Glenfarclas 21 today along with a 2012 Lag 12. The Lag 12 I found yesterday on a shelf is the 2011. score.I saw a Glenfarclas 1974 for $220 yesterday too but balked because I've been spending too much as it is... but I'm thinking what my gf doesn't know can't hurt me, right?

WAINWRIGHT Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Taking some of your advice I brought a Lagavulin 16 home with me today.I am curious to hear back of what you thought of the Lag 16.I remember my first pour after first being turned onto Islay whisky and I've been hooked ever since,a true turning point for sure.I hope it brings you the same enjoyment of this fine dram.

ThomasH Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Arbeg 10yr. My local store had it as a gift pack with a 50ml of Ardbeg Uigeadail. Never paid much attention to the sample but will be getting a 750 of it as its aged in sherry wine barrels, my favorite barrel choice for Scotch/Irish. The miniature will be added to my collection!Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I've Been talking myself out of ordering some ancient Bunnahabhain bottlings lately, so I picked up an Ardbeg 10 and Glenfiddich 15 from the local shop tonight. Hopefully that will quell the urge for a week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeti Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Oh my goodness, it never does! The number of bottles on my "one day I'll build an order and pick that up" list is outrageous. (Auchroisk 20, Glen Ord 30, Talisker 25 2007, Bunnahabhain 1968 and 1976, etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theglobalguy Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Picked up The Balvenie holiday sampler (mini sized 12, 15 and 21). More of a bourbon guy, and what times i've tried scotch i managed to pick really bad examples. Sampled the 15 on ice yesterday and was impressed.

The fifteen year old single barrel is one of the best Scotches I've tried, I would say. Enjoy that 21 year old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megawatt Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Picked up the new Bruichladdich 10 year old. Quite a different style of whisky. So far I'm enjoying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't get past it to enjoy other flavours. Just buttery smooth on the 21 year old. Not sure i could justify what it retails for around here, but if i ever get chance to sample, i'm there!

Don't give up on it because of that one aspect. There are quite a few very good un-peated ones out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really opened the door for me. It remains one of my all-time favourite drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighHorse Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 4R Barrel Selection OESK and 4R Barrel Selection OBSK ... one for me and one for a gift. Left a KC Barrel Selection but got a taste and will be back for that one. Loading up on bourbon and running low on cash. Funny how that happens on this day! Merry Christmas all.
