Lant63 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 A rather successful week of bourbon/rye hunting. The midwinter nights dram did not make it home sealed.

There’s plenty of Ardbeg Ten - LOL.Or you could try Springbank and Laphroaig.Anyway, considering that the Ardbegs of significant age are going well upwards of $1000 these day, you may be on to a winner.

ChanceSchmerr Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I managed to snag 1 bottle of Ardbeg 21, but at a price that worked for me - I paid about $180 USD and covered the rest in a cigar trade with the guy. A very good trade for both of us! The Ardbeg 23, on the other hand....yeah. I'm not paying $750 for a '90s Ardbeg. We're into silly territory now. It's my favorite malt but so many of their recent releases have been shyte that I'm getting tired of them. Auriverdes - boring young whisky Perpetuum - even more boring palate, nothing of interest Dark Cove - Was compared to the old Uigeadails that used '70s sherried Ardbeg. I'm not sure why. Both the Committee Release and the regular release were sour youngish whisky to me. Kelpie - Had some hopes, was really disappointed. Committee release actually tasted unpleasant, with many off notes to me. I havn't yet tried the regular release but I have a bottle of it. An Oa - Just tried it in Tokyo Hyatt last week. Surprisingly enjoyable! I will likely get a couple bottles for the shelf/Collection. Now I'm searching for Chichibu at a reasonable cost. I was able to visit the distillery for a tour while I was over in Japan, and the whisky's stellar stuff, it's just impossible to find for me. I enjoyed the Yoichi "Peaty and Salty" as well, managed to get a bottle on an online auction without breaking the bank. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
