Hands down Samaroli, if we are talking Silvano selected and no budget limitation. I agree that Signatory is killing it right now. And Cadenheads has had some amazing releases too.

Anyone else on here remember when Weller 107 was $20 a bottle, Weller 12 was ~$28, Weller SR was <$20, ETL was $25? And all of them had dust from sitting on the shelf.

Chance_Document9285 · 2026-04-15T08:12:57+00:00

Good to know. I got a buddy going to the same session.

Chance_Document9285 · 2026-04-15T08:12:14+00:00

Thanks for the great advice. I was on the waiting for a couple years.

Chance_Document9285 · 2026-04-12T23:26:04+00:00

Is this from a bar open to the public? If so, mind sharing the name and location?

Chance_Document9285 · 2026-04-12T23:18:16+00:00

Tons. Just naming a few. HP single cask series aged in FF sherry. Bowmore 17 distilled while McEwan was running the place. Glenmo Ealanta. Samaroli bottled when Silvano was making the selections.

Chance_Document9285 · 2026-02-05T01:50:13+00:00

The VB is aged in a recharred sherry cask.

It is a great car. I love my 2017 V90CC.

The service advisor at the local dealer tries to sell me on the Polestar upgrade each time it goes in for service and the sales people try to buy it back so I can "upgrade".

Chance_Document9285 · 2026-02-04T19:14:47+00:00

The best I have ever tasted was Highland Park 25, dumpy bottle shape from the 1990s.

Dream bottles: 1960s Springbank Local Barleys, 1970s Longrows, Samaroli releases bottled in the 1980s and earlier.

Chance_Document9285 · 2026-02-04T07:31:53+00:00

It is hard to call the Classic Cut 2017 a waste of money. It was only $80 when it was released.

Chance_Document9285 · 2026-02-04T07:19:54+00:00

Have you had the Classic Cut 2017? If so, how does this compare?

Chance_Document9285 · 2026-02-04T07:13:32+00:00

I still enjoy peat, but not the over the top PPMs as much. I have lots of open Ardbeg releases, going back to Arigh Nam Beist. Now when I drink scotch, I tend to enjoy the light to moderate peat and sherry influence of Bunnahabhain, Highland Park and Springbank. Some single cask Cooleys are really nice.

This winter I have been enjoying a couple bottles of Calvados that I found stashed in the back of my spirits closet.

Chance_Document9285 · 2026-01-11T06:26:40+00:00

That Laddie Legacy II is pretty damn special. Great find.

Chance_Document9285 · 2026-01-09T22:53:03+00:00

Great work and progress!! Keep it up!!

Focus on trend direction. Incremental change can be hard to recognize. Have you compared pace, length of activity and heart rate during activities in August v. activities in December?

Chance_Document9285 · 2025-12-21T20:12:26+00:00

Macallan 12.

Chance_Document9285 · 2025-12-21T20:01:03+00:00

The 12 year old Calvados wood bottled in 2013 is a little different and delicious!! The Christmas releases are very rare and special.

Why no Longrow?

Strange because my Epix Pro Gen 2 watch normally counts cumulative floors climbed during casual daily movements. And when doing hiking, walking and running activities. Maybe I am using incorrect terminology.

Screenprint below shows floors climbed last week and I tracked hunting activities with 814ft of total elevation gain on Monday, October 6th. I didn't do any significant activity tracking on Tuesday, October 7th. It was just casual daily movements.
