After spending a week out in the middle of the Atlantic with the family, I think I deserve this!

Surprisingly, the casino bar on the ship had some decent freebies available…Had more than my fair share of EH Taylor BiB, Glenlivet 15, Glenmorangie 18 and Don Julio Anejo amongst some other mid shelters!

Some new bottles

Curious to know your thoughts on the Moscatel Redbreast once you crack it. I Found it for $110 but that’s kinda steep considering I can get the Lustau for about $65-70.

 

[FestiveKnight]

Will do, might pop it for my bday in a couple of weeks.

I almost bought a case purely on the description and the fact that I love all things Oban....

I’ll be curious what you think as well. Got a bottle this week. I’ll withhold my review until you try it. I loved the 15y sherry from last year

 

[woodsy]

Only bottle of this I'll ever own. It's good, just not worth the price

 

[Highli99]

Finished a bottle of donkey juice. We need more.

I enjoyed last year's cask strength offering a lot, it was really unique - raisin bomb. When done correctly, I LOVE a port finished scotch, so I have high hopes for this one, fingers crossed.

The Lustau is an incredible value. Their two American oak offerings (Kentucky & Missouri) were IMHO a step up, much more complex, but they were overpriced when they first came out at like $150. Prices ultimately came down though, and at $100 they were bangers, I have a couple of each stored away. I could have sworn I saw something posted a couple of weeks ago that these were going to be released at that $150 price tag too, but this was $110, so maybe they just learned their lesson on pricing. TBD, I will likely pop this one on St Paddy's day

Trade?

Really interested in that Red Breast. Love their stuff. It’s a shame all the Irish whiskey gathered a $50 premium on it post covid.

 

[krafticus]

Trade?

Potentially. I barely drink any more

 

[krafticus]

Trade?

I have 1 full bottle of the 1st batch, 3/4 full bottle of the 1st batch, and 2 full batch 2

I know it’s not a rye, but I wanted pregame St. Paddy’s tonight!

Plus I’m celebrating my daughter scoring me 2 bottles of Blue Spot at retail!!

Getting ready for FRYEDAY tasting and $2/5 HE/PLO. Cheers!

I'm a bit envious of all of you - my palate is not sophisticated enough to enjoy the finer distinctions some of you are able to make.

That said, my wallet appreciates that my simple palate is comfortable with some Elijah Craig small batch...

 

[kirchhausen]

Nice little haul from Costco today...

 

[Gojira777]

Relatively new to the whisky game, would love to hear some of your recommendations!

 

[cpac54]

Anyone attending the High Pond meet up want to buy some of my top shelf bottles? I’m gonna need a bankroll. I can bring the bottles if you bring the cash. I promise to sell all of them for less than I paid and you will likely have a good chance of winning all your money back. If you want any of these bottles, let me know.

I know there have been several glassware discussions before but I’m looking for recs on large quantity cost efficient for tastings. 8 glencairns just isn’t cutting it once we start doing flights.

These are right now the top contender. Looking to get probably 48 so not looking to go above $5/glass unless there’s a very compelling option.
