[The Third Dram]

"Longrow 14YO x 2"

One to open immediately, dt?

Certainly amongst the most unique tastes in malt Scotch I've come across... All of which is to say, "I like it!"

[dramtastic]

Yes TTD, one to open as soon as it arrives(picture from retailers site). As mentioned in a previous post, tried this last saturday night and knew it was for me. Went on the 'hunt' and managed to find it for $88 a bottle, $50 a bottle less than other retailers here. Maybe not cheap by US standards but by Australian and Canadian standards a real bargain.

Thank to DRAKOSKL for recommending my most recent purchase of.

1 X 1 Litre Bottle of Ardbeg 10 Years Old purchased at duty free.

Purchased due to my love of the peat, however I believe it isn't as peat, smokey, medicinal, salty as the laphroaig, but still enjoyable.

Lagavulin is next.

I got the bourbon cask, but decided against the sherry (i'm trying to draw a line ). But now you make me wish i got it lol.

[dramtastic]

I just like the pretty labels Pete.

[rogerdodger]

Stop it you two! You are driving me crazy here!

[dramtastic]

The Owners cask and the 'zawas are for the retirement stash Roger, so will be a few years until I taste them. Hope I don't kick the bucket before the.

So Costco discounted the Glenlivet 12....


Unfortunately, I then stopped at a liquor store because traffic home was terrible. They had the Glenlivet 12 gift pack on sale. Included the 15 and 18 miniatures. It wandered home with a very cheap Speyburn 10.

[AdamMY]

So did you buy 1 case, or 2 cases of Glenlivet 12? I am confused if it was half a case or a whole case at each retailer?

Ichiro's Malt Port Pipe 2009 3YO 61%

[Ganga]

I'm curious about that one Dram. Is it good or does it taste young?

[dramtastic]

Well G I'll let you know when it arrives. My experience is that Chichibu whisky matures extremely fast, a conbination of climate and meticulous cask selection amongst other things. So fast in fact that Akuto-sans biggest issue will be managing this stuff when it gets to 10 years plus.

[AdamMY]

I would be very interested to hear the results of that!

My mate has the Ui and 10, and I am hoping SWMBO will give me a Galileo for my birthday in the a few weeks, so we can do a 3-way Ardbeg side-by-side as well!
