Lotusguy Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 How is the Kirk & Sweeny Claus? I've only tried the 12Y which came out last year or the year before - I found it similar to the Zacapa 23 but less sweet. At $39.99 for the 18Y and $45.99 for the 23Y it was a no-brainer. These are not solera system Rum so the age is really the time spent in wood. 1
StingMeadery Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Nice! Another fan of the Phroiag. You guys tried the 18...its my favourite Phroaig. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2

FalseCast Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Not previously a big bourbon fan but brought home a bottle of standard Buffalo Trace today (never had it) and I was very impressed. Had an Old Fashioned before dinner and two fingers neat with a RASS for dessert and I was very pleased. I don't think I'll be mixing this again. 1
Surucipe Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 You guys tried the 18...its my favourite Phroaig. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yes, I have a bottle open right now in fact. I think it's a fantastic whisky. That's why I was a bit hesitant to buy the 15yo limited edition, as it is a bit more expensive than the regular 18yo. Curiosity got the overhand so I bought the 15yo anyway but I haven't opened it yet. 1
Surucipe Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Nice! Another fan of the Phroiag. Sure am, but I don't mind their neighbours either...

Where can you still get the Bourbon matured Single Barrels? I am looking to get some to try side by side the Sherry matured Single Barrels that I have.
Guest rob Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Sister bottles this week Balvenie 15 year old single barrel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk This is one of my absolute favourites. It's not overtly complex, but I think it's one of the best crafted whiskies available (before being discontinued) in the price point. Bottled at a smart ABV, non chill filtered and natural colour. There's a beautiful refined honey sweetness and wonderful oaked vanilla.Good stuff.
StingMeadery Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Nice. Where can you still get the Bourbon matured Single Barrels? I am looking to get some to try side by side the Sherry matured Single Barrels that I have. I recommend participating in the Scotch Whisky auctions in Scotland and the UK Sengjc. The bottles I buy are mostly discontinued and unavailable retail anywhere... Some real gems are available at auction for an absolute bargain. In fact I have been sitting on top of a mountain here in the remote Coromandel in my Landcruiser since 5.00am to get cell coverage, winning another auction for ultra rare Vintage Port and Madeira wines Dedication to the cause haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3
sengjc Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Some special edition/commemorative bottlings of malt whisky: Some limited edition and well matured bottlings of vintage Armagnac (they are much older than I am): 4
Duxnutz Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 On a recommendation from a friend I brought this back from the States on one of my last trips. Epic good! 1
Mr.T Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Brought this back from vacation and liked it. Also picked up some rum Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1

One of the single malts that started me on the journey - still wish I had picked up cases when it was available at Costco for $50... 1
