Whisky Out: Port Charlotte Islay Barley Whisky In: Yoichi, Lindores Abbey, Kilkerran 8 CS Sherry, Longrow Red 7 Pinot Noir Take your time on Ardnahoe. I’ve heard som positive reviews, but I probably won’t see it on this side of the pond anytime soon. Looking forward to the “guard” T-shirt arriving later this month. Cheers.
Great looking t shirt Very busy month, finally sorted out bottles from thompson bros ballot a few months back and the Northern Irland "government' finally sorted out a pay rise so it came backdatec for 2 years and i splurged. Whisky in Thomspsons 12 yr old Aultmore 13 yr old Ardmore (mix of peated and unpeatex) 17 yr old inchfad All great. Others Benromac organic awesomes TBTWC Canadian corn great with puddings Turntable track 6 lots going on for a blend still to get my head round it. Watt whisky 5 yr old glasgow fantastic Ben nevis peated signatory vintage 100 proof. Great bottle great series. Whisky out Kings inch sherry cask strength amazing stuff Kilchoman sanaig lovely Caliola mom black friday bottle bit meh Ardbeg 10 dissapointing Cotwolds singl malt would def try more from them Ledaig rioja cask really top notch for that price def replace it. As i have gotten more into peated whisky i have fallen out with the big islay distillarys. The ones i killed this month fuelled my nee favourite cocktail of peated whisky and cloudy apple juice.
Whisky In - Whitakers (first release) ; Fielden (Harvest Rye) ; Cooper King ( Double matured); Cooper King (single Cask); Wire works (bourbon barrel); Ardnahoe (5yr old) Whisky out - can't remember and the bin man has been - i reckon about 6 out!
I absolutely love the idea of Guard Whisky! I'm sure I've heard you say it before, but love the Shirt. I have not bought any swag, from anyone, but I just might need to. Cheers!
I admit I only drink a couple of drams a week - at most - and I usually have a high ABV peated scotch when I have a dram!! Yup I love the expensive stuff!! It lasts. I drink in slowly!! Love the merch!! I'd love this tee!! :-)
It's always better to be in quality over quantity! If you're going to have one, it may as well be good right! Glad you love the Merch! They ship worldwide
I really like the tee shirts so I ordered one for me and one for a friend. Great WIWO this month with some really good stuff. I wish I had more opportunity to share. I've been building a group but so far we are meeting at a whisky bar and I need to have them at my house. No rush on the Ardnahoe but I definitely what to hear your thoughts. Busier than usual month for me. Out: Mortlach 12, Elijah Craig Barrel Proof C919, Powers John's Lane (already replaced). Since it was my birthday month I got these as gifts: Ardbeg Anthology and Balvenie 18. Cheers, Vin.
Ah thanks bud! Would love to see a photo of you guys wearing them when you get them (teespring can be slow). I know what you mean about the whisky meets, they can be tough to consistently organise but I hope it carries on nicely for you!
Hi Vin. I don't mind guests helping themselves to any of the c25 open bottles on my tasting shelf. Once one is emptied, gives me an excuse to open another bottle from the queue! This month's INs: Wee Electric Broon Coo 7 YO Cambletown blended malt, Lagg Corriecravie, Edradour 11 cask stength TWS exclusive, English distillery Sherry Cask matured. OUTs: Tobermory 21, Glencadam PX Sherry, Uncharted Whisky 11 year old Dalrymple (teaspooned Aisla Bay). Goint to have a buying hiatus for a couple of months and focus on my current stash to drink plus a series of weekly zoom tastings. Cheers mate.
Hi Vin you certainly had a busy month. For me in kingsbarns new make 200 ml bottle, kingsbarns Loch Levin 7 yr at 57.5% and a Cù Bòcan 12 caribbean rum cask matured. Nothing finished, I’m pretty slow at finishing bottles 🤷♂️.

I recently bought the IKEA Billy bookcase for my whiskies and I think it is well suited for the collection.

One of the benefits of using teespring is they can print over the pond and save you guys the big postage!
Yes!!👍
A lock and hidden key would better serve me. I'm a lazy bugger too but not so lazy I can't move 4 bottles to get to the nectar. 😉
Maybe a complicated combo lock thats hard to use after a few bevs hahaha
