and Glenlivet 18 joins as well.

I've never had it before, hopefully it's worthwhile.

Finally, the liq got Oban back in, also one bottle of the Bruichladdich "Trilogy Waves" Islay. I had to get it because I would not have been able to sleep at night knowing I left the only bottle in valley just sitting there in the store, and not in Bar Casino. Fuck that.

Not a fan of the Waves or Oban, but Glenlivet is coming on strong.

Anyone try the 30 year old Glenfiddich? Felt like God came in my mouth.

The pictures of scotch in this thread make my bottles of scotch huddle in the corner and cry about how they're fat (what can I say, I like handles) and ugly and nobody will ever love them. They're mad because they can't live up to such high standards.

Grant's is kind of a different animal from Famous Grouse. Grant's is more like a cheaper (and easier to find) version of Teacher's. It's got that whole medicinal iodine flavor thing going, which I fail to detect in the Grouse.

Just picked up a Euro-handle (1.5 liters) of McClelland's Islay single malt for €29,95. I really wasn't familiar with the brand and it's no big-deal scotch but it drinks pretty good -- especially chased with Westvleteren 12 (trappist beer).

Such beautiful pictures.

After getting this pic sent to me on my phone,

A flurry of text messages and quick phone calls involving second and third parties followed, I might ( hopefully, if all goes according to plan ) be able to secure a bottle of the Glenfiddy Snow Phoenix by the end of the month.

let us pray.

I snagged two cases of these (6 bottles). A one off, cask strength, natural colour, a first for Glenfid'. Grab 'em now, before it's too late.
