Durnit, I just this week paid more for the 15yr old, thinking it was a bargain

Never had the '15. Only one I ever had was the Glenfiddich 15
Worth the price?

It's not bad, the first sample was quite pleasant. Worth the price: sure

Bit of an over-exaggeration on the $400. It is only that price because it was a limited release (2015). Still shows that the core range is as solid as special releases. I enjoyed Uigedail last time I got to try it and I quite like An Oa (probably my favourite of the lot).

Yip.

Buffalo Trace is my favorite whisky.

I will stock up with a few more bottles.

Pretty sure this applies more to their rarer ranges which are in quite high demand. Buffalo Trace as exported is probably ok.

This stream from lockdown with whiskybrother is well worth a listen to get an idea of what goes on at Buffalo Trace.

Started my whisky collection relocation to the new house

Yup, got them when they were still R850.

I've heard pricing of R5000 upwards being offered for a bottle.

Did you end up getting a bottle, I remember you had something lined up?

 

[morkhans]

Did you end up getting a bottle, I remember you had something lined up?

Yeah I did. Fortunately at a "reasonable" price.

 

[DramBuddy]

Yeah I did. Fortunately at a "reasonable" price.

The cheapest I paid for my Glenfiddich Show Phoenix was R650, Boulevard cellars now has it for R12000. I've watched the price increases over the years....."reasonable" is very relative

I want to give a friend a bottle of Wiskey for his birthday on Friday.

I know he likes Caol Isla 12YO. Shall I get him one of those, or is there another similarly priced peated wiskey you guys can recommend?
