Thanks @scooter,but I’ve got 25 years and over 100K miles under my belt. It was just time. I just didn’t see myself riding it enough to justify the insurance etc.,and I hate driveway jewelry. Sold it to a great guy,who really appreciated everything I had done to it. I couldn’t watch him drive away with it. Love the 1920,as well as the 1910,both,in my opinion very good bourbon values.

Springbank 10, a really nice every day dram, just very hard to find now Springbanks have come onto the collectors radar.
-
A single PX cask Glenallachie release, very nice it is too. Billy Walker the Glenallachie manager / owner is picking some lovely casks for single cask releases. He did this when at Glendronach before moving to Glenallachie.
-
Another new pick up is a limited release from Bunnahabhain, this is the Aonadh release bottled at 56.2%. This is a 10 yo release of vatted Port and sherry casks, very nice it is too. Not found a bad bottle of Bunny yet.

Nice to see Bladnoch back in business and I can report this 11 yo is very nice, super smooth and very easy drinking, the best lowland malt I have had in a while.
-
Glenrothes 25, polished off a bottle of this over a few years and this is the replacement.
Smooth but with a quite a complex long finish, super tasty.
-
Bruichladdich Bere Barley release. Nice, quite sharp and spicy. The other organic barley release is smoother and creamier on the palate. Both nice drams.
-
@SKT no problem, open invite.
Been collecting for a while now, well collecting and consuming.
The “open shelf” is pretty healthy and the collection is growing and remarkably offering a pretty good return.
I have managed to grab most of the Ardbeg limited releases and they all do well on the secondary market, pity I won’t get to taste many of them for this reason.

I can't even say them let alone drink em. I'd have to point like a kid." gimme a bunnyhellbane and a bottle of Smartalecky."

No way I’d attempt to go to Louisville during Derby week. Planning to go there towards the end of September.
I hear you. I imagine it would be a madhouse.
I've been giving thought to visiting Whiskey Row. Until recently, I never realized just how easy it would be for me to get there…

Drinking this tonight. Flat out delicious. This is to tequila what Iron Heart is to Levis. @mclaincausey I think you would love this!

That’s supposed to be really good. I’ve never had it. Any thoughts? Was it expensive?
It's the most expensive($150) bottle I've acquired, thus far. Until now, I topped out at $55, for the OF 1920. My journey into better bourbon is still in it's early stages, though. So, this is a big step up. I may be quickly falling down a new rabbit hole, here.
By all accounts, the flavor profile was right up my alley. Which made the leap really easy. I get hints of brown sugar, baking spice, vanilla cake, and cherry. It's got great oak sweetness, and nice bit of rye spice, as well. From what I've gathered, char can be a concern with longer aged bourbons, but that is not a concern, here. I FREAKIN' LOVE IT. I got the last bottle in the only local store I could find it. But, if I come across another, I will likely grab it. Otherwise, I'll be very disappointed when this bottle runs dry…
