p_elliott Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Wife is picking me up a Jameson 12 today for St Patrick's day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black mamba Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Just picked up another Ardbeg Uigeadail (what a power house!) and a new one, Laphroaig Triple Wood. The Triple Wood is sweeter and less cigarette ash than the Quarter Cask, and bottled at a solid 48%. Nice pour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl2 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Was offered a bottle of the new Dalmore Cigar malt. Sounded interesting and the reviews were pretty good so I thought I would give it a try. Much pricier than the original edition but apparently a somewhat different whisky as well. I like the sherried drams so hopefully this will be a nice addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) What's better than a single malt from your birth year? How about one from your Father's birth year? Edited March 13, 2013 by Yeti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalessin Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 A bottle of the Clynelish Distiller's Edition (the current one, with finishing in Oloroso Seco casks), which will be a gift to a theater tech crew's afterparty this weekend. Why yes, I do get to attend and partake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighInTheMtns Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I picked up a Talisker 10 because I'm always afraid that the Utah DABC is going to realize that their price is too low. I like the old box better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I liked the Bushmill's 16yr that I had at the tasting so much, I went out and bought a bottle yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeti Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I'd really like to get the 1981 Karuizawa, but I have to jump through too many hoops to get a bottle from K&L.Of course, the pound of flesh I dropped on the 1982 Noh and its friend might have something to do with my unwillingness.

At first, I was going to have it shipped to a buddy in Oregon since that state was listed in the "we will ship to states" in the FAQ. But once I got through checkout, the system changed its mind because the list of states they ship liquor to is different than the other list.:-(I was also looking at another '81 but will have to wait since I pulled the trigger on the K&L. I also ended up adding a Glendronach 19 to the basket... Good thing I don't live in the Bay Area or I'd really be in trouble.

LostBottle Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Wouldn't be the first time I've overpaid for something right? ;-)Regardless, I'm looking forward to these two bottles.It's not like you will be able to run to any store in the US and pick up a bottle of Karuizawa. Additionally, I think recent transportation rule changes prevent getting bottles imported from places like Master of Malt or the Whisky Exchange.

However, this is one of the times when I have to temper my "Fear of Missing Out" with my "Fear of Being Fiscally Irresponsible." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostBottle Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Both expressions of the Karuizawa are now sold out. After the mass email, those bottles went fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQ Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 My neighbor went on a business trip to Cork, Ireland. I asked her if she would mind bringing back some whiskey. She said, "no problem, what do you want?" Thanks Clarissa!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
