Thanks for the WIP 4 DramBuddy. Was nice to meet you.
Next time when I am in less of a rush we have a dram for sure.
Pleasure to meet u, look forward to having a dram together.

Some of my Birthday gifts have arrived....looking forward to the Widow Jane especially.
Nice, can see you haven't opened it but is the WB Buffalo Trace noticeably different to the standard release?
It's not noticeably different and I won't be buying another bottle. Normal BT is fine.
That's what I thought, doesn't seem to warrant the premium price over the standard BT
Financial literacy is not my strong point
I never knew that!
I just sourced and bought a 21 year old Parliament yesterday (2021 so it's apparently 26 years old). That was R2600. I really want to have a higher strength Glendronach but that price is a little bit too high. I'd rather take that money and put it toward the 1991, 30 year old release coming this/next month.
I'll keep an eye out for the Paul John. It's a name I've been wanting to try but was initially put off due to some reviews out there. Looking back, they seemingly are more "Indian isn't whisky" snobbery.
I opened the Adelphi 25yo Armagnac last night. It's clearly better than most cognac I've tried but I'm still leaning toward local brandy as being my favourite. That "grapey influence" you mentioned is really strong here so I think it will need to air a bit to get all of the other flavours. I'm far from patriotic but we do it better. I just wish KWV released higher ABVs because their 12 year olds released in 2012 and 2015 were beauties.
Where does he go from here?
I can see him "reviving" a distillery but I can also see him going the Jim McEwan route and just retiring. He is an exceptional craftsman, no doubt, but how well known is he in the world? That's a genuine question, btw, not a dig at all.
Is this you that didn't like the 21(26) year old much?
Ranked:
15 Revival
2008 PX Puncheon (would be an untouchable sherry beast at 16 years I reckon)
18 Allardice
21 Parliament
12 Original

Next tasting for the Friday Whisky Mafia set to go - Compass Box: The Peated Edition. This one has been waiting to go since early this year, and thanks to a kind friend, we managed to land No Name 3 locally nice and quick. Date now set and Jill Boyd (Compass Box Whiskymaker and all round whisky fan) has kindly agreed to guide us through this one.
Cannot wait!

Oh man, a whisky tasting hosted by Jill Boyd is a whisky bucket list.

Yah but since the 18yo is R1700, was expecting R2000 - R2100 not 3K
Also means The Three Ships 21yo is going to be about the same even more (even though 750ml)

What site is that from? Post linky, man.Yah but since the 18yo is R1700, was expecting R2000 - R2100 not 3K

R 1700 for an 18yo is cheaper than most 18yo out there I think, no? Cannot say for sure though...Yah but since the 18yo is R1700, was expecting R2000 - R2100 not 3K

Not at all what I said or implied...For you that is peanuts
Goes to see how much Brandy I can get for that rather.
I said that I think R 1700 for an 18yo is cheap if compared to other 18yo's that I have seen. But I may be wrong, of course.
Do you havfe a link? Trying to figure out JSD online shopping is a nightmare tbh
