A few recent acquisitions 1980s bottlings of Glenfiddich 15 and 18. 1980s bottling of Macallan 12 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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

Stuck on batch 52 here with 51 being MIA and no sign of 53. Hows the 54? Slightly stronger than previous batches.

Rob recommended it after a little get together where we opened up a bottle of Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique (which I was fortunate to get last year). As that was matured in sherry casks at 58.6% abv, it had a nice spice, fruity taste to it, with a caramel and vanilla finish, as sengjc has mentioned in the 'What's in your glass today?' thread recently. This batch 54 of Aberlour A'Bunadh is a cask strength single malt at 60.7% abv, as you know, so I'll post a mini-review when I open it with friends to sample and compare with the Kavalan.

Where did you pick that up from John may I ask .

West, I was able to get it as a My Dan Murphys member. They had it on special for members at $AU100 for members. The usual price is $AU114.

Im aware that it is a CS single malt....been collecting since batch 28. Thought u opened it up already. The Glenfarclas 105 is another sherry heavy CS if youre looking for more.

After sampling over the last couple days, I had to go back and see how many bottles remained. After checking their computer, only one left anywhere so I jumped at it.

Unreal natural colour and the dreamiest of flavours for my tastes

Just picked up a bottle of the Batch 54 A'Bunadh for a steal on Amazon UK. It's taking all my willpower to save it for the weekend. I've heard nothing but good things about this stuff. Look at the colour of it!
