Been trying to pawn it off on unsuspecting guests but even they know better after the first sip and start asking for the Black Label
ZinZan Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 ...and so tastes differ - I absolutely cannot stand it. Been trying to pawn it off on unsuspecting guests but even they know better after the first sip and start asking for the Black Label Hahahaha. U can send it over here if only the postage and tax not gonna kill me. I thought it was really fruity, sweet not too overbearing though and slight smoke and peat. I'd buy again if it wasn't so expensive.
socapots Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 nice. the 15 is my favorite, but have not had the 21 too often... Received a bottle of Rum Barcelo Imperial lately. Almost already gone! Good stuff, but not as awesome as the El Dorado 15 years, got to get some more of this stuff! I'm personally more a fan of the 12 more then the others, Although i have not had the 21 yet. or the 25 (which i just realized they had) just on ice is the way it goes down.
cigarmonologues Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 Recently picked up a bottle of Gordon & MacPhail 'Secret Stills' 1988 Highland Scotch. It's not a well kept secret, as there's only one distillery where this bottle comes form: Glengarioch. Bottled in 2012, it's jolly nice - does need a dash of water.
Tan1801 Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 Apparently you cant buy duty free and bring it on board the place between HK and Aus from late last year. I wasn't aware of this and was stuck with the slim pickings on the Aus side:
ChanceSchmerr Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 I got lucky with a guy selling some of his Whiskies to make space..... I picked up Longrow 14 Springbank 1997 (2nd edition) Aberlour Abunadh Batch 14. Pretty good haul!
Lotusguy Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Batch 14?! Wow - must have a few years on it - they are somewhere past batch 46 now.
Surucipe Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 On Friday bought a bottle of Balvenie Portwood 21, which I had my eye on for a while already.
Lotusguy Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 You can get so much better Scotch for the price of Balvenie 21...
Strada Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 A few presents I got over the week El Dorado 12 Talisker 10 Glendronach 12 Aberlour 10
Surucipe Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 You can get so much better Scotch for the price of Balvenie 21... Taste and colours, always a subjective matter. I only drank the Portwood 21 once in a pub and I really liked it, that’s all I can say. Of course I have other Scotches which I also like a lot and which cost less. I guess it’s a bit like with Cohiba cigars, there are obviously other cigars which are excellent and which cost substantially less than a Cohiba in a similar vitola, but that doesn’t mean that the Cohiba is not worth the money, it’s just not for every day (at least not for me…).
Lotusguy Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Don't get me wrong - I have a bottle and it is a very good dram but for the money it should be cask strength and have no caramel coloring added
BatFastard Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 A 1 litre of Zacapa 23 and a bottle of Flor de Cana 18 year
Surucipe Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Don't get me wrong - I have a bottle and it is a very good dram but for the money it should be cask strength and have no caramel coloring added I’ll subject it to a strict and repeated testing once I pull the cork off!

winelover Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 I have been gifted a litre of Bells. I won't need my sherry copita nosing glass for this! Whisky and coke with ice or whisky sodas at most daring. I am looking at picking up a bottle of glendronach cask strength (batch one) or one of their single casks, anyone had any experience with these?
fokker4me Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Just picked up a bottle of Smith and Cross, one bottle of Chairmans Reserve from St. Lucia and Barbencourt 15 this afternoon.
