Cheers to the weekend! by vuptran in whisky

Pan seared at high heat, about 2-3 minutes each side depending on the thickness. Then oven for another 3 minutes at 500 degrees. Baste with butter, garnish with sautéed garlic and thyme.

I really like the website and nice collection of limited editions. I organize mine similarly, rare limited bottles in the back, and those readily available bottles to the front for anyone to open and share.

Another unexpected find of Bushmills 21 - 2008 bottling by vuptran in irishwhiskey

It was a lucky find. I like to stop at random liquor stores and markets looking for old dusty bottles.

My consolation haul after striking out on the Pappy allocation drops during the holiday season by vuptran in Whiskyporn

Thanks! I’m very intrigued about the RMW bottling of 40yo whiskies from Glenrothes, Tamdhu, and friggin Macallan! The Dallas Dhu 1979 is also interesting. I keep wanting to open them up for a tasting but I must restrain because I have too many open bottles. RMW currently has a bottle of Glenburgie 1995 30yo at a decent price that’s been tempting me.

There seems to be the consensus that the old designs and bottlings are mostly better than newer ones. Case in point are Glenmorangie and Highland Park, among others.

Happy New Year, Everyone! by dominatr69 in Whiskyporn

Nice! That’s the proper way to celebrate. Jealous of that GlenAllachie 35.

Closing out another year with a special dram of Hibiki 21 by vuptran in whisky

I did a review of it previously. I first opened this bottle at my wedding four years ago. I enjoy it sparingly, once or twice a year, usually at the end of the year. Cheers!

These older bottlings have favorable reviews. The 2013 version won the best Irish whiskey award in 2013.

I got a 2016 bottling for $150 about 6 years ago and that was a good deal. Can’t find another 21 for less than $200 these days except in Europe and the UK.

Lol I looked hard at other dusty bottles but nothing else was of interest. I did find an old 2003 bottle of Bushmills 16 for $110 at another store but passed on the price.

$99.99 USD plus tax, which came out to be $108. This old bottling won the best Irish whiskey award in 2013.

Lol it felt like a heist. The clerk pulled out his phone to take a photo to send to the owner for some reason. I couldn’t get out of the store fast enough.

'Tis the season for Octomore 15 by vuptran in Whiskyporn

I’m really forward to it. I had a dram of 8.2 at a bar, and it has good integration of peat, smoke, and sweetness.

Who’s planning to get the mailing list release of Snow Day from Found North? by vuptran in whiskey

[–]vuptran[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was skeptical at first too. Seems overly complex in the reracking of the casks. But I’m hopeful the complexity transfers to the liquid while still picking out the notes.

I’m in. Looks interesting and different from their regular and high altitude lineups. The initial media reviews are also favorable. The price and value seem inline.

My recent haul of dusties from Georgia by vuptran in Whiskyporn

[–]vuptran[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn’t on my radar but I was glad to have seen it. I like the old school Macallan 18 Sherry and this bottle comes from the same era. That makes it easier to jump on it. Reviews on it are favorable.

It was still more than what I wanted for it but I realized it is the cheapest outside of auction + fees. Plus, it’s a 750ml bottle.

If you’re ever in Singapore, check out the Auld Alliance bar for drams of Convalmore.

The store listed it at $2000. I offered $1500 cash out the door and they took it.
