sengjc Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 Did you hear back yet? Nope - I suppose I wasn't lucky enough for this.
Popular Post sengjc Posted August 2, 2015 Popular Post Posted August 2, 2015 A few bottles of the Highland Park 1990, this line originally released as a duty free exclusive in 2010. Eventually, some stock of these became available for retail. A local retail chain was having a clearance of the last remaining 3 bottles in-house at way below duty free pricing. A 20 year old vintage malt that is becoming scarce and a decent drop in its own right. 6
ChanceSchmerr Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Nope - I suppose I wasn't lucky enough for this. Sorry to hear it, mate At that price, I figured most who wanted it would get it.....
ChrisMG Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 This was on sale today so I couldn't pass it up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Great Scotch! My favourite 1
Surucipe Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 I tried this at Feis Ile this year. A cracking good dram, glad to have won a chance to pick some up! Too bad they are 35 cl bottles - would be nicer to be full size bottles, but I guess this way more folks can try it! Laffy.jpg I bought one as well. Thought the price was reasonable but didn't notice that these are 35cl bottles... ah well, it's still going to taste good!
jholen Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Sold my kegerator and made a Costco trip to pickup some new things to try. I got: Ardbeg 10 year Aberlour 12 year Glenfiddich 12 year Basil Hayden Bourbon Ron Zacapa 23 year Solera 3 x Fonseca Bin 27 Ruby Port Also going to have a buddy proxy some Noah's Mill Bourbon for me as I can't source it locally. 3

Popular Post ChanceSchmerr Posted August 6, 2015 Popular Post Posted August 6, 2015 It came in the mail quite quickly, I was surprised! It won't be cracked until at least next year when I get home to Canada, but very glad indeed to have mine 5

dangolf18 Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Nabbed a bottle of W.L. Weller 12 year old for $26. Luckiest of finds considering it's essentially the same as Pappy Van Winkle 12 (so I've heard). Sadly, I'll be probably saving it until I can find another bottle since it goes for $150+ on the secondary market. Eh, if I find the right occasion, I'll probably be opening it lol. 1
ChanceSchmerr Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Looks amazing...I am mildly jealous that I missed out on the ballot now. I'll sure there will be some on the secondary market, hopefully for a minimal markup - you should have a good shot with that!

scottm12 Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 It's Irish. Irish indeed, I think the green is an 8 year old, or it's a non aged statement, I enjoy it. Tart green apple flavors 2

Popular Post Rye Posted August 8, 2015 Popular Post Posted August 8, 2015 Some recent clearance shelf acquisitions. For $50 each, these were a no-brainer And a friend set up a GB at cost, so another no-brainer One more trip to the clearance shelf and yep... No-brainer at $55 A good friend helped me out in the knick of time on this bottle as I was just about to pour the last drop of one of my old faves. I like scotch!! 7

I agree, the Sullivan's Cove Double Cask at that price is a no-brainer, and Macallan 18...well, I don't need to add anything really about why one would want to pick this up for their collection!

I have yet to try the double cask, but I quite liked the sherry cask and cask strength Sullies, so that inspired this decision. 1
ralphie48 Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Still hoarding Japanese liquors found another 2 bottles of Yamazaki 18 and snatched them up Not easy to come by around these parts 1

Not $150 in the US, but very scarce these days. Drink it and enjoy it, even Van Winkle Lot B isn't that great, usually.Lot B is cherry-picked barrels and watered down to 90 proof. W.L. Weller is the barrel proof version. Weller 12 is the best of the rest. That said, far better than Weller Antique 107 or Special Reserve. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk 2
