Ethernut Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 This is special stuff. Bottled for Costco, single barrel, 110 proof. I vetted it against my benchmark of Four Roses OBSV Barrel Strength. So similar, high rye, spicy, vanilla, caramel, maple syrup, light barrel smoke, cinnamon - nice stuff! It's made about 30 minutes from my house.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Uigeadail magnificent picked up the dark cove last week ...I have turned into big Ardbeg fan, wish I had sooner ....picked up the 10 year old yesterday ...what I have noticed is Vintage cellars are better priced than Dan Murphy's with sort of stuff for Aussies . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sengjc Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 A couple of magnums of the limited edition 1996 Elderton Year of the Snake Shiraz for a steal.Quite impressive packaging. Hopefully the wine is equally impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess which one is for me . that 20-year-old santiago is a cracker. one of the truly great rums. it, as far as i am aware, is based on a rum they released early in this century. same wavy bottle but the label was simply 'Extra Anejo' - similar but different. i believe it was a limited release of 1,000 bottles and so successful, they then turned it into the regular rum - a la the one in the pic. only reason i know any of this is that it was released just before our first trip, early this century. it was $100 and that seemed extreme but i grabbed one and wow! at that stage, the greatest rum i'd ever tried. and still one of the top two or three. next trip back, i grabbed another but the fine print (and the label of those released shortly after that first supposedly one-off release) was slightly different (ever-so-slightly). now, it has changed a bit more to your pic. they had such success with the first one, they made it a regular production. for me, it has remained as one of the great rums though i've not seen it quite match the first release - no great surprise as i suspect it had access to some amazing old material that the regular production does not. for obvious reasons. enjoy the rum - sadly, i'm now out. largely thanks to a bastard who shall not be named (but thanks rob), who got into my spirits cupboards one day.
