DOH!! This was my first time at any whisky event, so I was running around like a kid in a candy store... It didn't even occur to me that you'd be there. Doh!

Now are you going to the SMSW thing on May 3rd in NYC?

OMG, something just hit me. Did you interview an older man at the Balvenie table?? I went up to it just as he was being interviewed by somebody with a lot of equipment...

Mark, it's available in the States or will be very shortly. You might try calling Spirit Haus in Amherst, if you know the shop...

I tried it at Whisky Live and it's a nice drink. I also tried the Balvenie 30, which I preferred.

Think I also prefer the 21 yo Portwood, but by a smaller margin...

Spirit Haus! I used to live in that place!

MrT, so YOU'RE the guy who cleaned them out!! :wink:

I've never been to the shop, but the people there are VERY nice and helpful over the phone.

I used to live in a house just over back, a walk through the tall grass. Just beer in those days, though. I was in the try-everything phase, and they had a lot. I believe they have a nice little selection of malts, and I stop in once in a long while, but more often I'm over in Northampton at Table & Vine. Anyone passing through Amherst should check it out, though.

Hi,

Okay, so has anyone actually tasted the 17YO New Wood rather than just take some sour sods view ?

I've got one of these and a Single Barrel from 2005CE and would love to know which one I should keep sacred ?

ttfn,
Fang

p.s. No need to reply with US/Canadian Tax Issues, no really you don't.

Fang, I have tasted it, and it is excellent...this is the one to keep sacred (buy two or three if you can), because they'll make Single Barrel for years, but this is the only time the New Wood will be available...

Thank you for that.
The guy in Milroys (off Soho Square) claimed it would be good, but I was never sure given that he (also) was selling it, so It's good to get a non-biased view.

I'm only being a little precious of my 15YO SB as this is the first one I've managed to get home (I was given one as a leaving present at work 7 years ago, got drunk, and left it on the train - never to be seen again).

have a good evening,
Fang (also a Mark)

Glad to help!

It is very sweet and quite vanilla, tablet and toffee. Words can't get across just how sweet.
