I have too many bottles and no room for new bottles so I’m gonna have another giveaway soon.

Hmm. I have too few bottles and lots of room for new bottles. One of us is doing this wrong…and me thinks it’s me!

 

[Copper44]

Yep that's one of my favorite Irish whiskeys.

With your SN, this makes sense lol.

30 degrees F out. Fryeday qualifies for MWND.

How is it? I haven't opened mine yet.

Hot damn that’s delicious!

Nose has the grassy floral notes like the regular SiBs but I do get some of the oaky sweet cognac as well.

Palate drinks hot first sip (but this might be bc I had lingering mouthwash taste in my mouth) but the heat dissipates and there’s and explosion of cinnamon and nutmeg like very christmas-y. But the mouthfeel is thick and rich. Coats entire tongue and tingles.

Finish is long and tapers off with that tingle and background fruits shine.

Honestly, this is on WLW level. When I first tried WLW I was so wowed by it nothing else was even close. This is pretty close.


But remember my palate isn’t that great to pick all the subtle notes and nuances.

Damn, looks like motor oil

 

[BruceWayne]

I’m pretty sure this Emerald Giant will be featured.

This is the one that's grabbing the best remarks.

Looking forward to getting mine

It’s the Act 9 from last year. Very very good. MWND is one of my favorites.

I picked up the 10/5 yesterday.

 

[toothpic]

This is really tasty

 

[Saoliver]

Might as well kill this MWND tonight. Then onto the others. I think that 115 proof might be my sweet spot.

So… I’d tell you what I think of the Smoke Wagon Malted Rye… but then, I’d be afraid that I’d never find it again.

Ok… I went and bought two more…. So now I’ll tell you…

I’ve got an Aberlour 16 to trade if interested. Really great, but I have too many spares.

 

[JustDave]

A bottle from a new brand, that didn’t distill its own juice or fully age it, with scant reviews, and mediocre at best/way overpriced at worst whiskey?

Extra points if a “celebrity” is involved heavily in the process or pushing it a lot in marketing.

 

[JustDave]

Anybody tried the new Offerman Lagavulin? I enjoyed the other two versions, just not sure if it’s gonna be better than the 16 that I know I love. View attachment 1025545

Yes. Better than the other two, but I didn’t like either of them. Not as good as 16, but 16 can be annoying as hell to find at times.

 

[JustDave]

That's a good price on the 16yr !

Yeah, holy crap that’s a good price on 16!

 

[JustDave]

Imma pop the Red Spot and Gold Spot tomorrow.

I’m saving my gold spot for a specific special occasion that should happen early next year.

 

[JustDave]

For some reason this is the only picture I have from this week of work that had a daily “is it whiskey time yet?”

Classic Irish pot still flavors. Light, bit of butter, everything you would want, not amazing but no faults.

Ran good last night, so I picked up a few bottles courtesy of the crew

Anybody ever buy anything from these guys? They have some interesting stuff that I can't seem to find locally. Some of the prices aren't too bad. Some are crazy!!! Biggest issue is I can't find any details about shipping costs, so I suppose I'll have to put something in my cart and just price it out. If anyone knows any tricks to minimize the shipping cost per bottle, please tell me.

Gonna hit my bottle of Baker's tonight. Have a buddy in town for the game tomorrow and he's never had it.

 

[Billy Baroo]

@TX_Golf_N_Poker I’ve purchased thru LoveScotch.com before and while they have some ridiculous prices on some higher demand bottles, they have a great selection of reasonably priced stuff too. They offer a flat rate shipping of $9.99 for up to 4 bottles and orders over $250 ship free.

Semi-pro tip…load up your cart and start the checkout process and then just cancel out the order. You should get a 10% off coupon emailed to you to entice you to make your first purchase lol

 

[gopherblue]

Good price?

 

[joeyshin]

Good price?

Secondary is $200. I thing msrp is $125 now. Japanese whisky msrp has gone up earlier this year so this might be msrp now. Not sure

VA ABC has retail price as $149.99 so I'd say it isn't great, but it isn't egregious.

 

[slisk250]

Is this worthy at 87 bucks? 4 x 375ml taster. I’m here another 20 minutes

Great haul

I wonder how much the cool bottle adds to the price?
