Picked up a Kirkland spiced rum today.

I could. Surprised you didn't get the 1999 as well.

[whiskgeek]

Picked up some Finealta and Balvenie 14y Rum Cask.

Also got what was apparently the last three bottles of Glendronach 15 in the area, but that's not for me - it's for a tasting.

[Ganga]

What were your thoughts on the AP Dark Horse. I have read varying reviews. Some are critical of the added .5% sherry but I find it a very good. Much more flavour than a lot of our regular Canadian "ryes".

[The Third Dram]

What were your thoughts on the AP Dark Horse? ... I find it... very good.

As do I. Early stages for me as yet regarding any detailed assessment. I don't mind one single bit that there's a percentage of corn-based whisky (and, as you've noted, a minute quantity of sherry wine as well) blended in with the rye. It all seems to work. Very pleasant drinking experience so far, and certainly a more than fair bang-for-buck quality level.

There must have been something in the air this easter, driving home I made a completely unintended stop at Binny's on the way home.

Bruichladdich 10 Year Old
Benromach 10 Year Old (200ml)

[Nu2Whisky]

2 x Talisker Box Set, (10, DE, 18) (one as a gift and one for myself ... thinking of getting a few more as it was on Special going for just under $20 per set). worth it ?
Glenmorangie (Nectar)
Laphroaig QC
Highland Park 12 (was so tempted to get 18Yo but here in South Africa its betw. $110 to $130 or £ 80 )

[Nu2Whisky]

OK - so that Talisker box set - done some research and I've realised, its a damn steal at around $18 (US) or ZAR200.
Going to buy the rest if no one else has caught on to this ridiculous price

[Ganga]

Sounds like you've got a good deal on the Tali...

Stopped by Total Wine today. Picked up three brown ales, an Allegash Dubel and the Montgomeries Ben Nevis 1995.

[emospence]

Caol Ila 12 year old

[Ganga]

1X Sig Binny's Bladnoch 19

Please share your thoughts on the Bladnoch when you have them. I find my cupboard unacceptably lacking in Bladnoch.

Very much a good Lowland. Lots of grassy notes. More fresh on the palate and dry on the nose. If you like Lowlands, I think you might like this one.

Glenlivet 18 and a Firestone Parabola

[bredman]

As well as a Powers John's Lane i also picked up this Japanese interest. Image taken with an old rangefinder lens dating from 1957, purchased with some hassle from Hong Kong and with the help of an old friend who lives there (if you're reading this - thanks again Ronnie ), made by a company called Chiyoda Kogaku, later to be known as Minolta. Looking through one new purchase at another. Anyway, enough with the waffle.

Glenlivet 40yo, 1970-2010 Lonach, 40%

How is that one? I never got around to buying it

[zl725]

Haven't opened it yet, will definitely post tasting notes when I do, though. Bought it on a whim, since it's usually very difficult to buy anything at that age, for less than $350 in Australia (regardless if it is an indie or official bottling).
