In reply to dsvogel05 That Signet can be very polarizing for Glenmorangie purists, it's a very interesting pour in a good way!

I'm probably going to unload a majority of them. I have only gone through 2 of 10 boxes so far. There is at least that many more that are cracked, plus a lot of bourbon & Canadian.

I'm mostly into bourbon and just don't have the room. I'm probably pushing 1000 bottles already in my collections and don't need to go down another rabbit hole.

I am the poster AginSingapore was referring to looking for a Balvenie 17 year. If you end up unloading it I would be very interested. It is no doubt my favorite pour of any whiskey variety.

Went to Austin for the New Riff pickup and grabbed an Ardbeg Hypernova and a Laphroaig 10 year sherry oak finished, pleased with those two. Had he had more of the Laphroaig I'd have gotten three. Good pricing for a non big box retailer. Had some hitters in the special cabinet that I'll keep in mind for the next visit.

Decided to let some go. Located in CS but travel to Houston often.

In reply to betadawg1 I'll take the glen moray 16!

Done

Reposting. Lowered prices and added a few more. Located in CS but travel to Houston often.

In reply to betadawg1 Beta I'll take that Caol Ila and Laphroaig to help out, I'm in no rush, down in Houston, can give you greenbacks in person or venmo. Think I may have met your son at the new riff pick-up at OLC (was a whirlwind of folks so could be mistaken). I'll be in CS for George Strait, have a house up there, happy to wait till then to get em to make it easy on you.

New Offerman edition Lagavulin gonna be offered from total wine's concierge program today. $89.97 a pop, 11 year finished in rum casks for 8 months.

2024's Ardbeg Day 'Spectacular' is available via Total Wine Concierge. This is the lower proof general release and not the committee release. If memory serves, last year the committee release was also available from TW Concierge but at a later date, but not 100% certain.

First I've heard of the Concierge program. Signed up and ordered a bottle of the Offerman edition. I have the Charred Oak version and like it quite well.

In reply to Rocketman84 It's not too often they drop single malts on the concierge program, mostly wine offers, but when they do they're usually pretty interesting . I ordered 2 of the Offerman Lagavulin and two of the Ardbegs.

Any tried the Calypso? Saw it at total wine and thought the pineapple chili and chocolate combo sounded interesting. Love the 14 and the distiller's edition.

In reply to Bigfootisreal I have not but have a buddy who has a bottle and he says he plans on opening it when he gets back from some travel he's doing. Will try to get some tasting notes from him for you.

Also, Ardbeg announced they are releasing a 23 year old Y2K bottling which as best I can tell is from their first distillation of 2000. Probably going to sell for around $600 to $800 if I had to guess (unfortunately).

I had the oban Calypso this year. It was ok it didn't taste that different from the 14 but my palette isn't that defined for subtle notes

In reply to ziggity06 Thanks for that- I was balking at the $100+ price point, but will stick with 14 for about $30 less!
