dangolf18 Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Haha. Gotta love duty-free pricing! I know, the pricing is ridiculous. I've been draining my funds on so much scotch recently. Kinda unfair as I can't resist a good deal. I'd probably be spending $18 on a 2oz pour of the Dalwhinnie 15 where I live.

shlomo Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 That's weird. The quote and your post do not match.....
dangolf18 Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Jeez. Well to be fair it goes for around $83 at the Bevmo near me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Scrubber Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Picked up two bottles of Johnny Walker green label.I'm planning on doing the same next week. Good to have while they are still for sale. I'm guessing after Christmas they will be gone again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
shlomo Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Any thoughts on the glendronach cask strength batch 4? Finally available here, but pricey.
Guest rob Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Any thoughts on the glendronach cask strength batch 4? Finally available here, but pricey. Supposed to be a great release, consistent with the others. If it were released by an IB, it would be even more expensive.
shlomo Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Supposed to be a great release, consistent with the others. If it were released by an IB, it would be even more expensive. Why do you think it would be even more expensive if released through an IB? Have not had the others. Typical Glendronach? Similar to A'bunadh and the farclas 105?

Similar to A'bunadh and the farclas 105? Most IB's who bottle a cask strength Glendronach generally charge quite a bit more then the distillery bottlings. (Not taking into account the single cask yearly releases, named 'Batch xxx' I haven't tried batch 4. I really like A'bunadh, and 105, however I believe this will be unique and stand on it's own - the Dronach will typically be 'darker' with a heavier cask influence. I'd definitely buy it if I don't already have a want list a mile long.

sengjc Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Benriach 18 Year Old Dunder. A limited edition peated Speysider finished in rum casks. 2
jabster Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Never tried benriach but it's on my ever growing list!
KB24 Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Not sure why/if the pic is sideways but I saw this on sale today for $75 so I had to buy it. Tried a small amount this evening neat after a glass of Balvenie 14. Very smooth!
TM-US Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I never knew that Talisker 57 North was available outside of duty-free, I've never seen it at a local store. Shlomo- you ever come to Philadelphia, we'll pour you some great stuff. I'm posting from my phone, no photos here: Glendronach 17 yr PX aged single cask Lagavulin 12 (can't resist for $90!) Parker's Heritage 9, malt whiskey Old Forester Birthday Bourbon '15 Pikesville Rye barrel proof (basically cask strength Rittenhouse rye) The Glendronach cask strength is great. It's a big sherry bomb and rather hot. More like Abunadh than Glenfarclas 105. Definitely worth it- I have not tried batch 4, but 2 and 3 were great. If you want to try something different, SAQ has Michel Couvreur Pale Single Single. Excellent scotch, underrated and unknown. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk 1
dangolf18 Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 It's not available outside duty free...
shlomo Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 It's not available outside duty free... Yes it is. Bought some in Ontario 2 years ago and they have it on the shelves here.

Get me a Pat's cheesesteak wiz, wit!! Tony Luke's acceptable as well.....lol Always been curious about the French wine guy doing scotch. I've never tried any and didn't want to buy blind. Will consider a bottle next sale. Thanks.
