prodigy Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Think I need to move up there! geez...That one was the best odds. I was kind of hoping for more than 1 bottle. 1240 for the entire state, id guess something like 16,000 entries. The 15 year only had 174 bottles. I've been extremely lucky, I think it's been a fluke this year. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you could say secondary. I never could find any on the liquor store shelves. Looked all over! I ended up paying over 100 bucks for this one. I think msrp is like 20-30 bucks. As it's gotten harder to find, the price has risen. It's really good too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even know they made a 40 year version. I bet that was a damn fine drink! I've occasionally ran across the 25 yr old, but I've always passed it up in favor of a different scotch. This time the deal was too good let slide. It's gotta be one of the best, if not the best value in scotch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can usually pick up some vintage gems that don't cost a fortune compared to some other big name distilleries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, one of the few family-owned distilleries left, and (along with Glendronach) a bastion of old style sherried drams. Prices are rapidly rising though, especially for their great Family Casks vintage single cask range. Their standard 25, 30 and 40 are all well worth seeking out, as well their Christmas releases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prodigy Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Never had it but wanted to try it I really like their 3 year. I wish I could get a hold of their older bourbons, but they are almost impossible to get. The gift shop doesn't even know when they are going to get bottles in. You basically have to call them every day and hope you get lucky. The lady their told me she gets over 100 calls per day from mostly the same people asking!Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk I was able to source this through a private cigar social club, otherwise I probably would never have been able to obtain it. It was first come, first served and I was fortunate enough to reserve a bottle when they were made available to members (it was limit one per person). I’m looking forward to trying it for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
