[hpulley]

I was just complaining in July of finishing my last bottle of Bunnahabhain (a rum finished Dun Bheagan). Today I picked up a couple of bottles of the 18yo OB. Along with recent purchases of the 12yo OB and the 9yo CS Sig I now have a lot of Bunnahabhain in the house, which is a good thing. In fact, I have almost as many bottles of Bunny as of Ardbeg. Ah well, can never have too much around, will all get drunk at some point.

Blew my holiday whisky budget today:

(2) Laphroaig 30yo
Another Pappy Van Winkle 15yo Bourbon
The new Wild Turkey American Spirit 15yo Bourbon
A Sazerac Rye, the 6yo

May make an even bigger haul on Monday. Gotta get 'em while they got 'em. I'm officially in hoarding mode.

today i received two bottles for my birthday.
Linlithgow 1975 30 year old from the signatory cask strength collection. and a Clynelish 1995 10 year old from the same collection. im really looking forward to trying these two, but will probably save the Linlithgow for a very special occasion.
Has anyone tried either of these bottles or anything from the signatory cask strength collection? i would love to know what you think of them.

I bought the Lagavulin DE today. I have been looking forward to trying this for a while.

Very sweet upfront with the usual peat and smoke showing up at the end. Overall I like it but I think I will have to spend a little more time with it before I can truly judge it.

recent visit to the shop: HP12 - $30, "The Speyside" 12 for $21, worth at least tyring for that price I figured, and Glenmo 10 in the new packaging (gift pack with two glasses) for $36. The new Glenmo bottles look quite nice.

Sean: What version (year) of the Laggy DE were you able to acquire? I've got the 1979 DE.

I've just acquired the following, after our tasting:
Aberlour A'Bunadh Batch 18 OB
Edradour Straight from the cask Madeira 1994 OB
Glen Rothes 12 yo 1994 OB (just a dram left there)
Isle of Jura 10 yo OB (New presentation)
Springbank 10 yo OB

Musky

Musky,

I got the 1991/2007 Lagavulin DE. I am drinking it again right now and I am getting a little more smoke this time.

[dcb]

were those glasses the ones made for nosing, with caps???

if they are I'm gonna freak because the manager of the store I frequent said he isn't aware of glenmo coming in a gift set after I told him it does! I'd get the glenmo just for the glasses!!!

the glasses don't have caps and they're technically "crystal tumblers" but they are quite nice, rounded, curved in at the top for nosing, etc.. This was from a NH shop so it should show up in their online inventory. I hadn't had the Glenmo in a while and actually did get it for the glasses and forgot that it's a nice dram anyway now that I've opened it. The tumblers are quite heavy, too, about an inch thick solid on the bottom.

Blew my holiday whisky budget today:

(2) Laphroaig 30yo

Does that "(2)" indicate that you bought two bottles? I don't suppose your holiday whisky budget includes any gifts for me. I tried a small pour of Laphroaig 30yo at the end of a whisky festival but didn't have the taste buds left to truly appreciate it. Enjoy!

Yes, I think I burned a hole in my wallet. Then I turned around and got these yesterday on a day trip:

(5) Laphroaig 15yo (completely disappeared around home)
(1) Laphroaig 10yo C/S
(2) Lagavulin 1991 Distiller's Edition
(1) Glenfarclas 21yo

I'd like to say I'm done for the year, but I've got a Buffalo Trace Antique Collection and some Four Roses Small Batch & Single Barrel set aside for me to pick in two weeks.

[K-Mile]

Lots of nice purchases here these past days.

I'm still holding on to my money as I just deposited a guarantee for my new home, blowing away any savings I had... Guess I'll have to work a little bit harder

edit: which doesn't mean I'm not still waiting for that Laga 21 to arrive at my local shop. Will get that one together with a Bowmore 21 (old style) as soon as it's there..

[K-Mile]

by the way, following this forum is definitely making it easier (not necessarily a good thing) to spend more money than I would have normally! so, I understand you k-mile.

basically, out of sight out of mind

The thing is, that's how money works for me. I don't worry about it when it's gone, so I spend it as soon as I can

[Sherried Malt]

The UPS man has been very good to me. He dropped off 2 Bruichladdich 1970s and a 1981 Talisker 20 yo today. Not to be outdone, the DHL guy dropped off 2 Lagavulin 21s. I loved it when they fight over me!

Life is good!

[Ganga]

I was just catching up with what everyone has purchased recently. I feel a bit woozy...

[SoMK]

Great purchases over the last days ! Woodhill, congrats on the 6 Glenfarclas 25yo. That's one of my fav !

I came across, accidentally of course, a Glengoyne 12 yo cask strength. Alone on its shelf at a very reasonnable price. IWHBRNT !

I take it Ohio is a non-mail-to state?
As long as Illinois still allows it I'm gonna flaunt it!

Hey, I resemble that remark! Truth be told, I lucked into both. One shop just happened to get the Lagavulin in the day I inquired and they basically said, "How many do you want?" And the Laddies were just sitting on the shelf forever; there were tons of dust on the tins...

Every dog has his day...

Good work Sherried Malt but you can understand one or two of us being just a little green. I hope you got the laddie 70's at a good price.
