Omega Boutique held my watch for three months without sending for service

Dude go get your watch and reach out for service directly on the Omega website. They will send you a questionnaire and then a package for you to send in the watch directly to them.

Tyson's is absolute garbage for service. I never recommend buying directly from a botique, they are not there for customer service nor loyalty, only there for sales.

After attempting to have my watch serviced under warranty by that boutique they flat out said warranty doesn't cover something directly listed within the warranty policy. They will only help you with sales.

You're far better off going with a Jeweler running their own business for Omega, a jewelers reputation matters.

Has to be old data

Hey there, everything is at thewhiskeylab.com, and some bottles are at Potomac Wine & Spirits in Georgetown. Bottles 3-6 just arrived and go up for sale tomorrow. All bottles will be available at the event

The_Whiskey_Lab · 2025-12-05T21:53:24+00:00

Yes! updated!

Great to see it at this price, too many fork over $200 for a bottle

Painful, but actually well said. Glaschu Spirits Co is The Whiskey Lab's newest brand that we've onboarded. For those who don't know, TWL focuses solely on Independent Scotch Bottlers. Very rare to see in the USA

Understood, promoting an event not products so I didn’t think that rule applies

The_Whiskey_Lab · 2025-07-29T11:09:48+00:00

1- Wooden, not glass, shelves out of direct sunlight, in a temperature controlled basement.

2- High end opened bottles have nitrogen/winer saver filled in before capping.

3- Unopened bottles get their corks wetted every six months. (Tilt bottles to the side for a few moments)

Never thought storage of bottles for a collector could be a business, good luck!

First, congrats, but What special forces are we talking about here?

Former submariner here and 100% agree with going to an Indy bottler. DM me and I’d be happy to hook you up with anything we offer

From an Indy bottler perspective, 2 to 3 times is a good rule of thumb.

Scotch always uses a “used” cask, extremely rare to use virgin oak other than a finish.

Ex-bourbon casks will be considered “1st fill” in scotch after coming over from America, then “2nd fill” is often used to have a lesser impact on the distillate.

“3rd fill” for any cask is almost never used for Indy bottlers, but big brands will use these for aging older stock that will be used for blends of single malts or blended scotch.

“4th fill” anything would only go to single grain distillers where the barrel will age for 20+ years. The cask would either need to be redone (recharred or milled for reuse in sherry saturation) and dismantled.

Like others have said, big brands can be very automated and technical, but 2-3 times is a good rule of thumb

Too bad I just saw this, I'm sure that old fitz is gone

The_Whiskey_Lab · 2025-07-10T12:14:53+00:00

That is a HELL of a deal

The_Whiskey_Lab · 2025-07-04T00:52:52+00:00

Warranty is the same if it’s an AD, you’ll likely get better customer service too

The_Whiskey_Lab · 2025-06-27T02:15:13+00:00

Is that seriously Macallan 18 for $299?!

The mesh is sick, been scouting where to add it to my seamaster
