So, what are your recent acquisitions?

Ordered them online. They were around $65 each. The 105 was $40 each and the Knockando 21 was around $63. I couldn't believe the Knockando was so cheap.

Can I ask where you got the 105? That's a great price.

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 -

Blanton's gold US release

If I lived in Canada, I'd probably give up alcohol. Who can afford such high prices? Is it meant to support local spirits? Is Canadian whiskey taxed at all?

All 'sin' luxuries are taxed to the **** in an effort to curb addiction. It doesn't work, it just gets the government more money. All alcohol is taxed, smoking indoors is completely banned in some provinces such as Alberta where I live. No cigar lounges even. The only place you can smoke indoors is at casinos on Indian Resevations. Even then you can only smoke cigars in one and that's outside Calgary near Banff. BUT that has allowed some serious brothers such as @rye to setup an amazing annual indoor event. Google Rocky Mountain Smokeout. Herf at top of a mountain anyone?

Lagavulin 16 Year Old - a classic malt and one of Diageo's finest.

Been a while since I last got a bottle of this - usually mooching some from my other whisky drinking mates.

Since it is on special at one of the local bottle-o, why not.

A bacon sandwich was on sale here for $79 a bottle about $30 off so picked up two very nice stuff one of my favourites

Wow...on ice? Good luck to you, there are those who wouldn't even add a single drop of water to their choice of single malt!

Yeah I know...... I've never had it before and the guy that gave it to me drinks a lot of scotch and he suggested on ice. I'm definitely going to drink neat and go from there.

Had the Auchentoshan Three Wood on Saturday night. Started drinking it neat but it was too strong so I added 1 ice cube. Made it just right.

My Lark HOF bottle arrived and then ran across a couple 200ml bottles so just picked them up.

I was at the Lark Distillery on the weekend. Quite a nice bunch of affable, friendly, enthusiastic and passionate blokes.

I got to have a sniff down the barrel the Hall of Fame whisky was finished in, and I can tell you it was a beauty. The sample they generously gave me confirmed - it's a beautifully crafted whisky.

Hailing from working at Distilleries in Scotland, and with his most recent stint at Bruichladdich - the extremely personable and passionate Craig, the head distiller (after Bill Lark himself) has as much experience as anyone in the industry. He said the 'hands on' nature of making whisky at Lark was where his heart was. Not mechanized and automated as most Scotch distilleries now were.

And sharing drams and listening to tales of the Tassie whisky industry with them at the end of the night (after they finished work) was a highlight!

@rob

I see you are cheekily helping yourself to liberal amounts of whisky when the others' backs were turned.

Lol... That is Ian, from Lark - who was very generous. Really great crew of folk, who are passionate about their craft.

I'll be keeping an eye on them, and supporting them as they move forward.

If you like peaty single malts, you know...with a salty edge, you'll enjoy this. I had the pleasure of a drop on the weekend.

Trying it out now with a PSD4.

I normally need to add an ice cube or 2 or some water to my whisky but this is fantastic neat. I haven't been a fan of peaty scotch in the past but I think my tastes are changing.

Seems to pair well with the cigar too.

Excellent choice again. ***** Whisky From The Barrel is a favourite Japanese whisky on our forum. Again, one of my favourite 'go to' whiskies! 2thumbs.gif

Thanks. Actually saw you recommend it in a thread some where which is why I thought I'd give it a go.

Been checking out some of the threads and seeing what seems to be popular. Loving everyone's cigar tastes so I assumed their whisky tastes would be spot on too.

Might have a taste tonight. Might sneak in a cigar too of the rain holds off.
