Jaysus, that is some haul over the last while ... your collection must be quite weighty at this stage.

Some more arrived today, so those fed up/not interested with pictures of Japanese stuff look away now (these are the last for now).

I always like seeing the Japanese bottles, thanks. Somehow they manage to produce both the best and worst looking labels in the business.

Japan, the land of cool and kitsch all rolled into one.

I really wasn't with it this weekend. Friday night I ordered a Nikka Coffey Malt online. Saturday night I completely forgot this and ordered another one from a different website. Only noticed when I was deleting e-mails today. What's really annoying is the 2nd one was dearer.

And another one of these.

Bredman, I have a couple of these in the post now too... And a Kawazaki 1982 - not a motorbike but a single grain.

Nice buy John. dramtastic reckons that Mars 28 is in his top ten Japanese he's ever tried. That Kawasaki 1982 (i posted a picture of it on page 23) is also rated as one of the finest grain whiskies there is.

[JohnM]

I heard that bredman, about the quality. Looking forward to trying it at some stage. The Kawazaki seems to be very expensive in La Maison du Whisky too. I'm guessing you got it for the same price I did...

Yes.

Ah eBay has got me impulse buying again.
I spotted a few Scotchs at lowish bids and nearly over. They all come from the same seller too so postage will be reasonable.

Aberlour 10 year old £13.77
Bunnahabhain 12 year old £22.51
Highland Park 12 year old £19.01
Macallan (Sherry)10 year old £22.00
Glenfiddich 12 year old £17.01

I also picked up 1ltr Bushmills 10 year old malt for £19.29.

I probably wont make any more tastings this year at this stage, unless a BYOB Scotch is on the books?

[JohnM]

Some good deals there, alright.

I picked up a Springbank 21 yesterday.

[varizoltan]

yes, you can make your own blend, select types of whiskeys, and add them by as little as 10ml measures

I was, in my Father Dougal from Father Ted voice. Interesting site - I'd like to know a little bit more about the whiskies - like maybe which one is the grain?

You could probably tell by the price. I'm not sure. I'd say the cheaper whiskies are either very young or grain.

Created my own last night. Hopefully have it for next weekend.

[damienmcguigan]

Very fast delivery indeed, here it is

[Good Whiskey Hunting]

How does it taste?
I seen the webpage, great idea.
I may try my hand too.

[damienmcguigan]

only had a wee sniff so far, will be trying it this weekend though.

[bredman]

You should save some for midsummer.



This arrived this morning.

[bredman]

I found one of these going cheap. It was a dusty wine shop and he was glad to get rid.
