That's a nice collection. I have the middle 3 but have at least tried the others, besides the shiraz cask

There are some items missing like PX, Whisky Brother 7yo and Checkers 6yo. But, those were before I started :)

Andy hinted at another special project by December, but I'm guessing it is something Bains related. Maybe a 10yo or 20 yr Bains since they've done 15 and 18yo???

Also I predict a Cabernet Sauvignon barrel finish some time. Not sure if it will be a 13yo (unlucky number) but given previous releases that would be the next "year".

Then again this is all in my head lol.

Somewhere I read or heard that at 15 years old they decided it was now ready for a special release. So I'm leaning towards a 20yo. But a 10yo would not surprise me.

Problem with the 15yo is limited stock and travel retail only. 10yo has the potential to be more readily available and expand to start a core range.

Well still decent. I know there is the Three Ships 21 year coming next year. That should be interesting.

The Bains 15 year was also available at Claremont Liquor City for those interested, priced at 1.4k, as well as the 18 years for 2k

I have sampled that 21 year old at 17, 18 and 19 years of age - my own view says the sweet spot was at 18 as I liked it better than at 19, but I guess we will know in a years time as release is end 2021 if memory serves.

I have also had the same experience as Bart and agree that the 18 was better than the 19.

I received my shipment for the bottle I bought off the wall but I haven't received my shipment for the Shiraz finish that I bought from the distillery shop. I did get a SMS on Wednesday so I expect it soon.

Would you mind confirming if the order status on Aramex tracking updated to delivered for the completed delivery?
