      Bit of a Malt Whisky nut.

      Tried collecting but quickly found a fundamental flaw in my plan,…...............................................most of the "collection" got opened and consumed!

      My collection started out as a bit of an excuse to try out more expensive bottles.  In my twisted logic I thought it made sense to buy two exact same expensive bottles, drink one bottle, store the other and sell it later to help subsidise the one you drank.  This works well when you are buying collectable stuff such as Ardbeg's, Macallan, Bowmore, Bruichladdich, etc

      This plan worked really well until ebay tightened up on alcohol sales.

      A few current favorites:

      I can highly recommend any of the limited single cask releases from Glendronach.  If you like a heavily sherried dram then these releases are for you.


      Bruichladdich Pedro Ximenez released a few years ago now was another heavily sherried dram that offered great value.  I managed to pick up a case before it sold out.

      There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

            Hi ddtrash,

            I'm more into independent bottling, but I can only confirm your comments about Glendronach. Liked them in the rally days for their standard releases, but some of the special releases in recent years were stunners - still have a few drops left of a 21 year old released by Cadenhead. Should have bought a second bottle for later…

                  I was telling Clint yesterday one of my buddies slings drinks there; he has to go in pretty early sometimes when he's on ice detail. This makes me want to go all the more.

                  Think it, be it.

                              Anyone tried Yuki No Bosha (Cabin in the Snow) sake? All three of them I tried were world-class. I think the junmai gingo is the best I've had.

                              If you haven't tried it, it's a must.

                                            You will note that the coke is to accompany the Bacardi, this is more like putting ketchup on a hot dog.
