Stopped by a place that had the somewhat recently discontinued glenmorangie port wood finish. There were two fifths and I bought one of them. The cashier told me they were a collectors item - I told him I was going to drink it :) I had a couple nips of it last night and it was quite good, as expected.

I'm going to swing by and grab another bottle if they still have them. It definitely didn't taste like a $25 bottle of Scotch, very complex - not a daily drinker for me but a nice change of pace.

The newer bottles of Edradour cost anywhere from $50-60 or even a bit more. I'm not sure if there is a difference between what you have and what the current stuff is.

I have a coworker that loves the stuff.

Glenlivit 12 Year Old

I bought a one litre bottle before I quit drinking (which was 23 years ago now). I guess that would make it at least 35 years old today - probably closer to 40. Never did get to taste it. Finally cracked it open several years ago for a friend of my wife who was visiting from back East (she said it was fine).

I still have three-fourths of the bottle left.

Went to the a tasting hosted by Macallan last night. It was a nice free event, so I thought I would give them a little plug here. Not a fan of the fine oaks, but I thought the 18 yo sherry oak was outstanding. Next time I splurge on a bottle, that is going to be on top of the list.

Recently picked up some Macallan 10. If there's a better $30 bottle out there, I haven't found it.

Grabbed a bottle of The Balvenie - 15 years for over the Turkey day holidays. Has been quite good and will probably finish it off over a second holiday dinner with friends and some Football games on the tube. There will be cigars as well, of course! :ss

I know it's not scotch, never bought a bottle of that either, but I thought I might try something besides a Coca Cola when I am sitting and enjoying my cigars after dinner.

Add a splash of water!

My wife bought me a bottle of Talisker out of the blue the other day. I love that stuff.

I bought myself a bottle of the glenmorangie quinta ruban last week. It is becoming a go-to for me. I love it.

Finlaggan from Trader Joe's. I haven't tried it yet, but a decent Islay for 18 bucks seems like it's too good to be true. The reviews are mostly good though, likening it to a young Lagavulin. Anybody tried it?

Heliofire 12-15-2009 09:13 PM

Re: What was your last Scotch purchase?
 
I was just given a bottle of The Balvenie 17 year New Oak for Christmas. I can believe my friend found a bottle of this, it was produced 3 years ago. I am going to save it until Christmas Eve when we do extended family Christmas. I hope I have the will power to last that long. At least I have a bottle of the 12 year double wood I can drink in the mean time.

Fumes 12-15-2009 10:21 PM

Re: What was your last Scotch purchase?
 
Tried the Finlaggan over the weekend -- it's not Lagavulin by a long shot, but it's definitely Islay -- peat, salt, and iodine up the wazoo. For the price, I'm not disappointed.

:tpd: Glenlivet. I also have JW Black label. I am more of a bourbon drinker, myself. I have many, MANY bottles of bourbon, but only a couple bottles of scotch.
