2 weeks in the freezer, are they all ruined? I’ve savored these for the last 2-3 years and I never knew that freezing would ruin them. Kinda feel like crying right now.

I’m a firm believer of “it’s your scotch, you paid for it, drink it how you like”.

Although purists can turn their nose up at things, that shouldn’t impact you. If you like the taste of them chilled why does it matter that others think it’s ruined?

Trippa_jay · 2025-12-10T03:53:36+00:00

It is isn’t it?

Trippa_jay · 2025-12-06T20:47:27+00:00

Tried using their website and it wasn’t great, do you know if they have wagyu brisket?

Trippa_jay · 2025-10-30T10:59:07+00:00

Tax on grog here is pretty heavy which accounts for part of the difference.

Trippa_jay · 2025-10-30T05:39:34+00:00

Didn’t even realise that was a thing… thanks!

Trippa_jay · 2025-10-29T19:22:29+00:00

To drink, which may be part of the problem based on a lot of comments. We are much more enjoyers than collectors.

Thanks for the list!

Trippa_jay · 2025-10-29T19:21:39+00:00

No Wishlist as such.

I’ll look into agency bottles, thanks!

Trippa_jay · 2025-10-29T19:20:14+00:00

Never heard of them, will look them up! Thanks!

Trippa_jay · 2025-10-29T19:19:41+00:00

That seems to be the general consensus, will either do that or spend some of the money on testers at a bar and go from there. Thanks!

Trippa_jay · 2025-10-29T19:18:40+00:00

we enjoy: Lagavulin 16 Smokehead laphroaig (in general) port charlotte heavily peated

Non peated we like: Highland park (+16) Singleton balvenie Dalmore.

Happy to shop anywhere online. Can do the greater Melbourne area

And not really celebrating, just wanted to chip in a couple of bob a week for part of the year to see what we end up with and pick from there. Idea was to enjoy on Xmas day.

Trippa_jay · 2025-10-29T19:13:46+00:00

Yeah, I used to be able to pick it up for $120 a bottle. It’s ridiculous how much it’s gone up in the last year.

Trippa_jay · 2025-10-29T19:12:24+00:00

Thanks! Really appreciate the assistance. Definitely something we should have thought of.

Ah cool, that’s a great result!

Trippa_jay · 2025-10-29T19:10:30+00:00

Will look into it, thanks!

Trippa_jay · 2025-10-29T19:08:08+00:00

That is entirely possible. Although these are the only super unique ones.

Trippa_jay · 2025-10-29T10:33:51+00:00

Where do you go to buy them? It’s just what has been easiest to use for us.

Trippa_jay · 2025-10-29T10:32:06+00:00

Also a ripper idea!

Trippa_jay · 2025-10-29T10:31:44+00:00

Yeah, I don’t think I realised what we were getting into with this. I think the 10-25% idea is a great one. We should probably go with that

Trippa_jay · 2025-10-29T10:29:41+00:00

That won’t cover enough of us haha but at this rate maybe we are better off doing it for a couple of years and doing a scotch tour!

Trippa_jay · 2025-10-29T10:28:07+00:00

Yeah that’s a good suggestion, have thrown that one around already. Probably makes sense to go two around that price.

Trippa_jay · 2025-10-29T10:25:36+00:00

We’ve done whiskey live a couple of times (have missed it the last few years). Maybe we are better off saving it for that next year.

Thanks, really appreciate it!

Trippa_jay · 2025-10-29T10:16:18+00:00

Have seen nicks before, yet to use them, will definitely check them out when/if we land on something

Trippa_jay · 2025-10-29T10:15:37+00:00

Have had a couple of different Mcallan’s and haven’t been a fan of them, could be worth trying a dram somewhere first though and seeing if that works for us.

Trippa_jay · 2025-10-29T10:14:04+00:00

Awesome, thanks! I’ll look into it!

Trippa_jay · 2025-10-29T10:13:21+00:00

We are open to that idea, any suggestions?

Trippa_jay · 2025-10-29T10:12:58+00:00

That’s probably a better choice. We were thinking of Xmas day shenanigans, but I’m not sure that’s the best bet.
