So, what are your recent acquisitions?

Could try your hand at converting them into humidors afterwards.

I'm good for humidors but they will end up in a room with a humidor and some other wine cases.

A couple of bottles of the William Grant & Son Rare Cask Reserves Cruinnich 21 Year Old blended scotch whisky.



A limited release of 4,900 bottles for the Australian market only back in 2014, and only available via a rather famous local retail chain.

Information on the web indicates that a group of Aussies, having won a competition held by said retail chain, were spirited to Scotland to help with the selection of the casks that would make-up this blend, guided by none other than Brian Kinsman, famed master blender of Glenfiddich.

Blended for the 'Australian palate' whatever that means. Anyway, my guess is that this is probably intended to go head to head with the likes of the Chivas Royal Salute and Johnnie Walker Blue Label as it does belong in that category.

At a local bottle-o.

However, believe forum rules prevent me from divulging its identity.

I was driving in a small town, and saw a liquor store with a "closing soon" sign.  Picked up some old dusties pretty cheap

I can't tell what year it is from, but it was dusty.

A couple of bottles of an interesting looking release called 'Vega':


A 23 year old blended malt (pure malt) that has been bottled unchill-filtered and at cask strength from a vatting consisting of a number of single malt whiskies that have been matured in sherry and bourbon casks.

Bottled by the young independent bottlers: North Star Spirits for their 'Limited Edition No. 1' series - judging from the colour, it would appear that there is a healthy proportion of sherry cask matured malt used in its makeup.

These bottles are two of the 400 bottles available worldwide.

Something totally left field, a couple of ceramic flagons of Stone's Original Green Ginger Wine that was specially released to commemorate their 275th anniversary:


Yes - I got these because of the ceramic flagons.

[Toast & Taste]

I got this a few months ago. The seal will be cracked for a wedding in November, along with a very nice box of CC's.

Finally got a bottle of this, looking forward to tasting it -
I am especially thrilled to see that it is 45% ABV rather than the 40% I see on 95% of the rums I observe on the shelves.
