sengjc Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Looks fancy. Which bottle-o was that? The Cellarbrations in Newmarket opposite the Chilli Padi Mamak near Laksa King.
Tan1801 Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 The Cellarbrations in Newmarket opposite the Chilli Padi Mamak near Laksa King. Ahhh right... I live practically around the corner from them and didn't realise they stocked anything of note. I shall keep my eyes peeled.
sengjc Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Ahhh right... I live practically around the corner from them and didn't realise they stocked anything of note. I shall keep my eyes peeled. They have some good wine, Leeuwin Estate the Art Series Chardonnay from 2000 going for current vintage prices. Also the Seppelts Show Brandy which is quite interesting - I don't think they bottle this anymore.
Lotusguy Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Lost Spirits Calafia California Peated Single Malt Caperdonich 18y Kilchoman 100% Islay 3rd Release
sengjc Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 A couple of the more interesting ones from the recent acquisitions: Another MacKillop's Choice bottling, this one is a 28-29 year old Highland Park from 1981, bottle no. 63 from cask 6850. @Upmann2008 PS. Now you can see what you will be getting too. Also this monstrous 1.5 litre magnum bottle of Compass Box the Peat Monster Reserve Edition.
Philprop Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Pretty interested to see what this is like, anyone ever have it before?
LordAnubis Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Just cos im bored, i have to post something in here, if i got for a day without being a smart arse i get jitters.... my recent aquisition. It was free actually...
GoJohnnyGo Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Glennmorangie 10yr. Nothing special but still a great dram.
sengjc Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 One of the recent acquisitions, a trio of Campbelltown malts in 200ml bottles: My first foray into Springbank and its various incarnations. Now, I wasn't intending to post about this acquisition but I am thoroughly impressed with the balance and array of complexity these malts offer that I have to make an exception. Certainly a unique malt that will certainly impress even the most jaded of palates. The standout for me is the Springbank 10 Year Old but I love the liqueur-like sweetness of the Hazelburn and the balanced peatiness of the Longrow too. PS: Like the makeshift drip collars?

maverickdrinker Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Added a couple more bottles of Ardbeg Uigeadial...
winelover Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Ardbeg A'bunadh batch 45 for just £33.50 (£8 off at Waitrose). Tempted to also pick up Glenlivet Nadurra 03/13 edition which is £38 (c.£8 off at Tesco but I have a voucher bringing it down to £35 ). Got to love supermarket deals.
sengjc Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Some new acquisitions from the local bottle-o today: As you can see, I am quite smitten by the Springbank - Longrow - Hazelburn malts. Then there are a few more orders placed from the overseas sites that have not arrived yet. In truth, I have never really had much of a thought for this distillery nor Campbelltown malts before, time to make up for lost time.
sengjc Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 A couple more Springbanks: Vintage 1997 Batch 1 and Vintage 1997 Batch 2. These ones from interstate.
sengjc Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 And I forgot about this one that snuck in with the others:
canadianbeaver Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Not a true acquisition but an interesting fact here in Ontario. We want to buy plain grain alcohol to make liqueurs we had in Italy. One was fennel, the other, with bay leaves. Matthew goes to the liquor store and they tell him, "We will only provide grain alcohol (Alcool) to a pharmacist to fill Rx's." The young guy at the counter however says his grandmother makes her own hooch by running vodka through a Brita filter three times. Prego!

Made it myself with similar products/method

Thanks. Incidentally, I am waiting on some overseas deliveries at the moment and there's a Springbank 12YO Cask Strength in there, Batch 3 (I think). Batch 5 is good too, eh?
