Nothing like a peaty single malt but I can appreciate it for what it is without having to compare it to anything else. Also the favourite drink ot the late Christopher Hitchens... Legendary

sengjc Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 More ultra small batch bottlings of boutique Aussie malt whisky: New World Whisky Distillery New World Projects Series 50L Experimental Cooperage, bottled exclusively for the Oak Barrel's Sydney Whisky Fair 2014 - Starward spirit matured in a refurbished 50L cask with ex-red wine cask staves and virgin oak heads. Also a bottle of independent release Starward: From the in-house cask at Baranow's Lounge here in Melbourne - bottled at cask strength, straight from the cask. Flanked by a couple more bottles containing the private bottling of Overeem Muscat Cask, also bottled at cask strength, straight from the other in-house cask. Finally a few bottles of "hard-to-finds": Highland Park 21 Year Old Travel Exclusive. The current batch of Laphroaig 10 Year Old Cask Strength (Batch 006). "Hard-to-finds"'for me at least in this side of the globe. 2

TM-US Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Oregon peated single malt and a double mangnum for a party tonight. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1412924012.375615.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1412924024.731499.jpg How is that McCarthy's? Tasted it yet?
Lotusguy Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 How is that McCarthy's? Tasted it yet? Sorry - not yet. It's pretty far back in the queue, I'm afraid.
fokker4me Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 I was very excited to find this dusty on a shelf waiting to come home with me. Boy was the bottle dusty as well. It not to common to run into reasonable Port Ellen bottles. 3
Lotusguy Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 That must have cost 4 digits US - right? If not, you are one lucky SOB
TM-US Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 You would not want to know. Cheapest bottle of Port Ellen I've ever seen. Have you tried it? Port Ellen is not worth the money they get for it, even distillery bottlings.
Lotusguy Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Never tried it - too rich for my blood by far. With very few exceptions I stick to under $75 US a bottle. 1
fokker4me Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 That must have cost 4 digits US - right? If not, you are one lucky SOB So yes more of a lucky sob! It was on a shelf for 214. I ended up paying US$175.00 crazy.
fokker4me Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Congrats!! Thanks, so while I've always wanted to have a bottle I don't think I would ever pay today's outrageous prices. That being said I have tried various bottles of PE before, and while good, I hardly think it's worth the new prices. I'll let you know how it is. I want to do a tasting of Brorra, Rosebank, Dallas Dhu, and PE one day. kind of a closed scotch tasting.

fokker4me Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Cool - what time should I be there? When your in the NJ,Philly, NY area hit me up.
TM-US Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Never tried it - too rich for my blood by far. With very few exceptions I stick to under $75 US a bottle.If you're ever in NYC on the weekend, hit me up. There are a couple places you can drink stuff like Port Ellen and it's not a crazy price if you get a half pour.
sengjc Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Macallan 1991 bottled at 21 years old at the higher proof of 46% as part of Gordon & McPhail's Speymalt Series. Apparently this is bottled as the the first release exclusively for the JIS, a single cask release from a first-fill sherry hogshead that yielded 263 bottles. 2
