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

Stumbled across GlenGoyne 15 at the local shop. Proceeded to drink split the bottle with my good friend in its entirety given how delicious it was

I fully agree!

I just grabbed the Glengoyne 18yr to try and drank half the bottle in the first sitting!

Grabbed an interesting Bowmore and was a bit surprised when I pulled the bottle out of the tube...

Cracked it open for a couple drams, and went back the next day to get a couple more bottles. Great juice!

seems someone needs to go back to grade 1!

Do you think it's actually 24 years old?

Haha! I thought it was good to see that the Rattray crew enjoys the scotch as much and frequently as I do!!

They have the dates correct on both labels. It is a few days short of being a 15yr.

Remarkably smooth for nearly 60% abv but I've never seen a 20yr+ bottle still have such high abv. Definitely a 14yr, but great bargain at under 100cdn per bottle

Someone's put the 24 Year Old bottle in a 14 Year Old canister?

Are they all like that?

trying to resist getting some Glengoyne.....

Anyone try monkey shoulder? worth picking up?

It's a good sipper. Worth a purchase IMO

Agreed. 12 yr, 12 yr cask strength, 15 yr, 18 year, all of them delicious....why resist?!

Sorry - I meant the Monkey Shoulder.

I liked Glengoyne better before the relaunch - no coloring added and non chill-filtered. Used to be a screaming bargain. Not so much anymore.

What accumulated at KL Wines during my trip ;)

The Kavalan is a gift for a buddy and the Glenfarclas was a screaming bargain at the Taiwan duty free at $27 for a whole liter. Noticed that it is NAS now, however. Older bottles showed 10YO.

Perhaps it is mentioned on the back label?

Still $27 is a heck of a deal for a litre bottle of cask strength sherried malt.

Back label doesn't state it - unlike earlier bottlings I've seen. But agreed - heck of a deal :)
