TM-US Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Been winning some Auctions in Scotland Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Some nice Flora & Fauna bottlings. Which auction? I hope I didn't bid against you.
sengjc Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Some recent arrivals: Getting another Mortlach before the prices become stupid like the Macallan (what I predict will happen based on pricing for the new distillery releases - the 25 year old non-cask strength is retailing for nearly $1,000 in AUS). I have heard good things about this particularly limited bottling from another increasingly popular distillery. Some cask strength sherry matureds - my taste preference is now gradually shifting back to sherry. 2
sengjc Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 These were on sale when passed by one of the local bottleshops earlier this evening while out for dinner. 1

I always enjoy seeing what your recent acquisitions are and hearing what you think about them, but I have to ask: where/how do you keep your amazing collection of spirits?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk At home and in shelves (whisky) or the wine fridge (Cognac/Armagnac) I keep them upright so that the alcohol doesn't degrade the cork. For those to be kept for the long term, the bottles themselves are typically sealed with plastic and tape to guard against evaporation. 1

Haha awesome, I have been through four auctions this month already and purchased from all of them. Three more shipments are inbound ...what Auctions you bidding on Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Angela just saw an 18 year old in Duty Free on her way back from Venice at the Airport for just under a grand...WTF !!! Can't wait to try the Signatory 24 ...might grab another one myself as I know where one is hiding Was bidding at an auction for a Mortlach 35 but it just hitting £550 yikes! Going deep on Single cask and Tun Balvenie"s instead... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
StingMeadery Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Hey Senjgc just scored that last Signatory Mortlach 24, NZD$208 shipped Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

StingMeadery Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Surprised you didn't find this out sooner. Saw it the day after we swapped All good though as I had x4 of the 23 Mortlach...or was it five haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would have bid at Bonham's last month, but most of the estimates were ridiculous. I should check the results to see how they did.

sengjc Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 A local bottle-o is having quite a good sale so I picked up a few drinkers. 4
Popular Post StingMeadery Posted June 17, 2015 Popular Post Posted June 17, 2015 My two all time favourite distilleries...Mortlach and Balvenie. The most experienced Whisky guy I know said this Balvenie Sherry Oak Cask 17 year old is one of the very best whiskies he has ever had. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 7
Popular Post sastrooper Posted June 18, 2015 Popular Post Posted June 18, 2015 Never even knew Taiwan made whisky's! But gee, its a top drop. 6
Popular Post sengjc Posted June 18, 2015 Popular Post Posted June 18, 2015 A couple more drinkers from the sale - had to hunt around a bit for these. 5
shlomo Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 A couple more drinkers from the sale - had to hunt around a bit for these. How does the 21 compare to the 25? I can get the 25 here for about 130 USD. 1
sengjc Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 How does the 21 compare to the 25? I can get the 25 here for about 130 USD.In a recent tasting of the Glenfarclas line-up from 12 YO all the way to the 30 YO, I found the 21 YO to have less wood-barrel influence, more sherry fruit as compared to the 25 YO.The 21 YO is a nice step-up from the 15 YO. Whereas the 25 YO appears to be a different animal altogether, the 21 YO suits as an after dinner drink whereas the 25 YO would be better suited to a cigar and a leather armchair.

Cigar and armchair?!?! PERFECTION! Lol How does the price seem? Thanks Seng
sengjc Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Cigar and armchair?!?! PERFECTION! Lol How does the price seem? Thanks Seng Really good at USD$130 for 750ml, the 25 YO retails for around AUD$200 for 700ml here. 1
