I recently received a Lagavulin 16 for my birthday and I have to say that is one great drink.

What do people think of Old Pulteney? Had some a couple of weeks ago and it was quite nice.

I really enjoy the Old Pulteney 12 as an affordable, every day kind of dram; I can get it at a local for $35

I'm not a big peatbomb guy, though, so others may differ

Todays haul from tw they kept the Old Weller and the single barrel in the back. Good thing I talked to the manager last week and he remembered me.

I got a bottle of EH Taylor Single Barrel as well while picking up a bottle of IW Harper. I have a feeling I should've bought some islays instead but those bourbon expressions are getting a lot of buzz, so I thought it was worth checking out. Caol Ila 12 and Bowmore 12 aren't going anywhere I guess

Lag 16 was my favorite for a long time. I prefer Oban now

Old Pulteney is nice and pretty affordable

Oban is really good but kind of pricey. Bowmore is very strong as well.

would love tasting notes on that weller.

I just found a bar by me that has the WL Weller for $6.50/pour, it wont be there very long...

Wait, what? The wl Weller (aka Weller antique collection @ 6.50?).

Drink.it.all.

no the 12 year.

I know its a relatively inexpensive bottle when paying retail, but you can never get it as it doesn't even hit the shelves by me, as allocations are so low.

Still a good deal for an increasingly tough to find solid, everyday pour.

Weller 12 is still priced low in fb groups and such

do they ship to texas?

Folken!

Apologies for my muteness. Am finishing off my masters thesis and am eyeballs deep in that. I actually have a bunch of whisky society visits to post and all, but will drip those in autumn/winter after my MSc is all done and dusted.

Important news though, and worthy of stopping study for a day - it's whisky fringe 2015 time!

Hope that worked...doing this on my phone.

Best,

Good man! Post #2903, the glengoyne 25. It was good but not £250/btl.

Thanks for the list. Have had some before I reckon, will crosscheck with dramtracker, but remember the Balblair 1990 as one of my favourites from last year.

Keep em coming!

Best,
Pete

Pete,

I mainly just aim for the old/expensive stuff at these things nowadays.

Thank goodness we don't have these with whiskey available for purchase at the event.

El D,

I will likely do similar with some other forays. Have definitely had eg the glenglassaugh 30 before, but will retry to see how my notes change as I get older and drink more whisky.

As for purchasing at the event? Yeah, sheesh, those Scots are made of sterner stuff than I. Frightening!

Best,
Pete

The lagavulin de was awful in my experience

I'll give it a go. Lagavulin 16 is too sweet and syrupy for my usual islay preference. But at these events, best place as I can bang it in a spitoon and move on.

Have longlisted 78 to try! Will pass on my notes, if I live to tell the tale!

Best,
Pete

@ Peter
omg u posted here before,without having a single masters degree.


shame on u


PS:i would go for the rarest and most expansive malts and would leave everything i can get in a normal pub aside.

Hi manndl,

For what it's worth I have a Masters but it's the Scottish system, so a 4 year undergrad which gives an MA(Honours) rather than a BA(Hons). So it's not a postgraduate masters, which is a 1-year one here - different to the 3+2 common in the rest of the UK and Europe.

Go figure!

I'll definitely hit up the more expensive ones. As for that, the traditional *one dram only* "half-time orange" is the tough choice. Picture of today's offerings here: what would people recommend? It may change slightly tomorrow when I go. At the moment the ones which jump out are:

Glenglassaugh port
Glenfarclas £519
Mortlach 18

But man, there's some choices there. I may try and 'pool' my ticket with another to try the Glenglassaugh and the Mortlachs. I am a Mortlach fan.

Best,
Pete

Although very cheap, I think the Glenfiddich 12 & 15 are amazing. Very smooth.

Blue label is also very good imo. A bit pricier though.
