A special thanks to the L.A Whisky Society
site for the heads up on this bottle.


Intensely jealous. I had a sample at the last LAWS and really dug it... any chance you might be able to divulge a location on this? I wanted to pick one up but couldn't find any.

Vaguely related: Glen Elgin 1991 15y Signatory this afternoon + a few craft brews were picked up.

Picked up a Glenlivet 12 to replenish a recently emptied bottle. I just have to have one.
I feel no pain dear mother now
But oh, I am so dry!
O take me to the distillery
And leave me there to die.

Favourite Whiskies: At this very moment - Glendronach 12 - still enjoying old favourites Glenlivet "Nadurra" and Talisker 57N. Absolutely loving Old Pulteney 17 and missing the recently emptied Ardbeg Uigeadail. Highland Park "Leif Eriksson" is very good.

:lol: I figured i'd just go for it with the wording. The weather has been atrocious recently but yesterday was better. I just checked, and eat those words Brian, 'cos the sky is blue, you better believe it, the sky is blue - woo hoo. :D

Lagavulin 12yr (2011)
-impulse buy

Elijah Craig 18yr x 2
-I had a truly great bottle so I went back for more bottles from the same barrel. when I returned home I realized the barrel #'s were different (3870 vs 3872). my fault for not being more observant.

Wild Turkey Rye 101
Old Weller Antique 107
-due to internet chatter of both going away I thought I'd reacquaint myself with them.
