I know what you mean :D . It's an intriguing release and very well presented too! Another gem to add to the much anticipated RB vertical tasting!!

My latest purchase was Jameson Crested 10!

Heard great things about it and I'll probably save it for a special occasion :)

I now have enough Bushmills 1975 to last me a long time.

All mine are from one cask, so if anyone wants to swap one for one from another cask...

Was that a typing error or did you really buy 23 bottles.

My latest purchase is the Redbreast Mano A Lámh. I wouldn't mind getting 23 bottles of this.

Well the society can have one for a tasting if wanted... For free, of course.

Clontarf 10 year old Signature reserve (Triple distilled).
Exclusive to Aldi I think. I believe they just had it for
Christmas as there is little now left.

Best value 10 yr. old Irish I have seen in a while ---27.99 Euros. !

I think you did pretty well alright. The 10, as I recall, was very good. Haven't had the pleasure of the 12.

A great deal. Both are beautiful whiskeys. The society has sampled the one a couple of occasions over the years and nobody was disappointed.

Id love to hear the notes. I find it hard to believe the 12 could be so much better to warrant the 4X price difference.

Recieved a Power's John Lanes in the post from Flaviar. under €40 to the door 8-)

I ordered it on the 24th it was dispatched on the 27th and I recieved it last Thursday 2nd, in our times of exacting standards quite slow but if your not in a hurry worth the wait :thumbsup: .

I was unsure of this crowd for a long while and many complaints of slow delivery times but they seem to have got their act together a small bit.

However they do seem to do a lot of Groupon offers which is usually where all the delays happen. So my advise is don't order during a groupon period.

received this mottle yesterday.

Midleton Single Cask. Selected for LMdW. Its the darkest and highest proof Irish I have seen. Excited to try it. I will be bringing it to my Bourbon Club's yearly gathering. We'll see how she holds up.

I got one of these recently too. It looks great in the bottle.

Got a Talisker 25 too... and a Highland Park 1990.

I was going to save it for a special occasion, but sure if I open it not, it will still be there for a special occasion.

The Cadenhead Tasting Rooms in London. They are sold out now, I think. Only appeared briefly this morning. They might have some in Edinburgh, though.
