Lotusguy Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 If you like cognac, KL Wines now has a couple of single barrel single vintage Hines available.

sastrooper Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Never fear though John, the europeans are more then happy to ship down under 1
JohnS Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Never fear though John, the europeans are more then happy to ship down under Yes, and I bet they are able to do so at better than the local price of $AU840 a bottle! https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_ER_1000002950_6161700/cognac-tesseron-lot-29-xo-exception-700ml

sengjc Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 That Botanist bottle is really cool. Apparently it has all the botanicals used to produced the gin embossed on it. 1
fokker4me Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Four Roses Small Batch 2015 Limited Edition, 1792 Port Finished, Smooth Ambler Old Scout 9 year Single Barrel, CS Rye and a dusty WT 15 year American Spirit. 2
JohnS Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I had a tasting of The Botanist recently. If you love Islay Single Malt whisky, then this is for you. I'd require another tasting or two to get used to it, as the Islay spring water used in this gin was very savoury, unlike most gins which are floral or herbal in nature due to the juniper berries used in distillation. 1

Don't mind The Botanist at all. And I froth on the Redbreast! Sent from my iPhone

Bodes well, have a couple of bottles that I got for the wife a while back as she enjoys gin. They have been stashed away but she hardly ever drinks. Should reclaim them as mine then.
skalls Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Just ordered Kilchoman Vintage 2008 (new vintage, love love love kilchoman). Ardbeg Uigedall, arguably the best scotch Ardbeg makes,Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban, Signatory 16 YO Glenlivet (46% and unchilled filtered). Wish the glenlivet was cask strength but priced well enough to give it a try.

TM-US Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Some well aged independent bottlings of Ben Nevis and Teaninich. Also a bottle of Glendronach 18 Year Old that has been finished in port casks. It's funny how we get the 15 yr version of the tawny port finish while GB and Oz get the 18. I feel cheated. ☺Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk 1

I feel cheated. ☺ Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk I think the 18 Year Old Tawny is supposed to be the successor to the 15 Year Old edition. I am starting to see some of the 18 Year Old cask finish series filtering into the country.
Reevzy Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 The other day I picked up Lagavulin 12 yo the 2013 release, absolutely mouth watering stuff. The Arran amarone cask finish, going to need more time with this one to "get it". Tapatio Excelencia extra anejo Tequila, it's very nice but once again, need to spend time with it. 2
shlomo Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 That Lagavulin is wonderful. Wish they had more here. Been sold out for months.
JohnS Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 That Lagavulin is wonderful. Wish they had more here. Been sold out for months. Wow, none at all! Not even Lagavulin 16?
Guest rob Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Wow, none at all! Not even Lagavulin 16?The 12yo 2013 edition, John. It's a limited yearly release, and usually sells out within the year, or appreciates in value allowing for vintage. Definitely worth a go if you see it around for about $140 to $160 aud.
