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 -

Haha! Last bottle. You have no idea how cheap this was. Couldn't resist.

From the image it looks like Costco, or similar. My wife imaged prices (of bottles) a few months ago from our Sydney store and I was impressed!

A bottle of the Society bottling 124.4 dubbed: "Full of secret pleasures".

This is a 17 year old Japanese malt whisky from the Miyagikyo distillery that has been matured in a first fill sherry butt.

Hard to really tell with the green tinged glass bottle but judging from the colour and available web info, it may well have been a Pedro Ximenez sherry butt.

Wow, that's cheap. Where was this? I wish the NJ or DE Costcos sold decent stuff.

Hey seng, is that a current society bottling?

I was inspired by our friend, sengjc! This was especially difficult to find but I feel it was worth the hassle of shipping interstate.

It's a 2014/2015 release, depending on your country.

In Australia it only just got released. Not so sure the American chapter.

According to Nonjatta, the Japanese whisky site, it was supposed to be a 2014 release for the Japanese chapter.

Found a really good price for these locally and decided give them a go.

I have tried the Laphroaig Cairdeas 2014 before and quite enjoyed it - the sweetness and fruit from the finishing cask works extremely well with the Laphroaig salty-peatiness.

The Speyburn Solera 25 Year Old is an older and probably discontinued release.

That is one hell of a dusty haul of bottles.

Thanks- I now remember that we don't get Japanese whisky here in the States. Are you a member? I guess I should PM you....

I'm not, I ask a friend who is.

How come the US Chapter does not get Japanese whisky?

Found an old 1.75 bottle of HH BiB on a bottom shelf waiting around for a while. Very pleasant stuff indee, today I'm sure this goes into fancy packaging and a few years older for triple the price.

I don't know why, it's a shame. We don't get some cool stuff that British members get, either. I have a way around that one, though.
