A few recent acquisitions 1980s bottlings of Glenfiddich 15 and 18. 1980s bottling of Macallan 12 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My summer planned trip to Cuba was scuppered so I did the next best thing... a whisky buying trip/tour of Scotland! Had a great week with a mix of rain and glorious sunshine. Some great pick ups too -

Man..... It was someone.... Male .... Age 30-60.... Lives in Aus. Just finished putting solar panels on his house back around December. Talked about grocery stores too. I think he smoked cigars.

That Bardstown original is very good

I purchased a bottle of the Origin bottled in bond (black label)....thought it was a SUPER solid bottle, especially for the price. Haven't tried the white labeled bottle though.

These are not recent acquisitions, rather a great find because I truly forgot I had two of these bottles! This is what happens after 55. Oh, I'm 57... 

I'm building a wine room for the wife, and had to move the boxes of whiskey. I decided to get rid of the boxes and was definitely surprised to find them. I cannot remember where I bought them from...

I tried a bottle of Spytail. Rum aged in cognac barrels got my attention (combining my two favourite spirits!). However, this is better described as a ready-made cocktail. It has a sugar solution, plus flavouring. It is quite tasty, with a profile in the Old-Fashioned category. But I wouldn't have purchased it (online) if I'd known it had added sugar etc. (This is in the fine print of the physical label, but not in the product descriptions online.)

I got lucky at my local liquor store finding this on the shelf!


This is great juice. Have you tried the port version? It’s my current favorite dram at the moment.

Not yet! But, I’ll keep an eye out for it…

Not sure.  I will check.  Was part of a 60 bottle lot at Christie's I split with some other collectors.  Ever see a Madeira lot that big of the same vintage?  Nope.

no, the ones i bought years ago were mixed. a reasonable number but they sold them in single or double bottle lots.

It's rare to see 60 bottles of any single wine in one lot; never mind 70+ year old Madeira!
