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

I’ve heard great things. Any good?

It is phenomenal! I started hearing good things after it was released about a month ago and could not find a bottle. Finally saw it today and grabbed one. I am not disappointed. The chocolate malt they used really shines through, heavy on the cocoa, vanilla, some rye spice, oak, and a slight toffee note on the end.

Sounds like a potentially great pairing with something like an aged PLPC. Would love to hear your thoughts on which marcas work well with it. Homework project. ??

Will definitely let y'all know. I agree on an aged PLPC, I think that would be just awesome. The Behike 56 is quite nice with it, I think up next I'm going to try a RASS, Monte Edmunto, or an Upmann Connie A.

Hahaha. Well, I found all 3 bottles on the shelf. Second hand would have been 3-4 times as expensive...

Yeah, I had no trouble picking it up from DM. The one near me is now out of stock :D, but the next suburb over has 2 more bottles.

Nothing like posting a bottle of Gin picture from your driver's seat...  "No officer, I have not been drinking..."

Funny you should say that. I have been pulled over at roadside breathalyser testing several times with a bottle of spirits right next to me. Only once did the officer ask to see if the bottle was opened or not.

Picked this up a few days ago forgot to post it up, it's pretty solid. Has a gorgeous color to it.

That Russell’s 10 is the best value bourbon on the market today!
