Oh my...that's quite a haul!

[BobbyRitz]

Very nice! Tell us a little about the Mortlach Dreams when you have a moment.

I didn´t forget your question, Rob, but I haven´t it opened until now....



But in the meantime I have some new bottles....

• Pic 1: Ardbeg Supernova... that´s a REAL peat monster with 100 ppm
• Pic 2: Lagavulin 1991 Destillers Edition (it had a good price at the airport duty free shop)
• Pic 3: Springbank NC2 Portwood (peated Springbank)

Great pictures Heiko. I hope I can get out there to sample some and see the countryside as the soft breeze whips across....ah nevermind.

I rarely get to these selections of Whiskey at the local ABC store (liquor store regulated by the state of Virginia). Thanks for sharing. Now grab a stick and a drink and give some reviews. WE WANT PICTURES!!!!

I have two bottles of the Lagavulin DE 1991. Outstanding. It's a toss up between the regular 16YO and the 16YO DE.

Have you had the Springbank 15? This is also stellar!

I've had the Ardbeg Uigeadil....which was, IMO, the best cask strength whisky I've had! Insane amounts of flavor!

Which Uigeadail did you have? The first one? From 2003? This was the best... with the old sherry casks from the 70´s (for later releases they used younger casks)... I have still a bottle of the 2003 here....

[SmokinApe]

Nice collection H... I don't know what half that stuff is, but I'd drink it!

Great finds Heiko, the Macallan 1973, Glenfarclas and Springbank would be my first choises, but all of them are great whiskys for sure!

[JohnnyFlake]

That's a very nice haul Heiko, especially the MaCallan 1973!

[ehdg]

Damn Heiko some very nice stuff there. I too love Single Malts and those sound and look darn good. Enjoy!!

I bought my bottle in the summer of 2007....along with a Highland Park 18!

So it´s one of the new bottlings.... which is not bad, but the first batch was even the best (this was also the result of a blind tasting of four different Uigeadail bottlings at a German Whisky board...)

Great finds Heiko, the Macallan 1973, Glenfarclas and Springbank would be my first choises, but all of them are great whiskys for sure!

Arild, I haven´t opened the Springbank until now, but the Macallan 1973 I had with a friend (he has the same bottle and he opened it) blew me away... the sherry flavor was overwhelming... the it is for the Glenfarclas which is even a bit better... tastes like gingerbread (Lebkuchen), dried fruits, rum pot .... yummy

[SmokenScotch]

ok.. I need to get to the store soon....

[eldondo]

Again something new... 18 yo. Laphroaig with Waldhaus Label....

Heiko

[PointSource]

I read over at whiskymag that Laphroaig is not doing a 15 YO anymore. I believe it's going to be replaced by an 18....

[eldondo]

Two new bottles.....

• Glen Scotia 1975, 30 yo
• Bunnahabhain Darach Ur

[Clampdown]

Still no Pappy?

[skibumdc]

Heiko is still not really a Bourbon fan. Very interesting bottles you picked up

[eldondo]

170 CHF for the Pappy here..... that´s really expensive... hard for me to pay this price for a Bourbon if I know I can get an awesome Scotch for it.....
