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

Mail order is a no-no unfortunately. SAQ and trips to the LCBO in Ontario or trips ot the US are the best chances.

Please keep the suggestions coming! Like I said, looking for rare or limited, or collectable! Thanks!~

Shlomo, come to NYC and I think you could drop thousands on the stuff you can find there. Between Park Ave Liquors and Astor, you probably could find 8-10 bottles that are rare and interesting, not to mention 30-40 that you can't buy at either LCBO or SAQ.

LOL, not sure my budget will allow me to drop thousands, but if I'm ever in town, I'll certainly look those shops up and spend a few pesos.

I got a bottle of Clyenish and Elijah Wood 12 this past weekend.

Got a long of bottles ahead of either to try before them though.

Lastly, the latest Ardbeg release, Perpetuum, for the 200th anniversary of the distillery. Strangely premature, as this is only supposed to be sold on Ardbeg Day or afterwards- May 29th, I think?

I think the Ardbeg Perpetuum that got released at the distillery is the Committee version. Check the alc%.

The Perpetuum sold at the distillery is the Committee version. My comment was because the "public" release in the states is usually held back until Ardbeg Day. This is the regular release, not the distillery only bottling.

I see. How did you get your hands on that one - you must have some serious connections to be able to gain access before the rest of the public. :D

I guess the stores that had it were probably not supposed to sell it for another 10 days and got it a bit early.

Mmmmmmmortlach 27 Adelphi Bottling.

A Dark beast emerges from its lair...

Snagged two of only 16 to enter the country, was a bit slow off the mark.
