It wasn't all Glenmorangie, there were also a few bottles from their sister distillery, Ardbeg

- I finally managed to land a Lord of the Isles. That's been a unicorn I was hunting for a while.

- Seann Chreag 21 year old

- Traigh Bhan TB/07 (seventh edition) - this was actually from Royal Mile Whiskies and not an auction

- Smoketrails Napa Valley Edition

- And a backup bottle of the famous lightly peated Blasda

The auction unpacking continued with Ardbeg.

The Anthology The Beithir's Tale 15 year, the third in the series.

The Traigh Bhan 19 year batch 6. Batch 7 has finally popped up in an auction, and I'm stalking it like a Pokemon.

And Homecoming, a rum-finished Ardbeg normally only available at the distillery or Ardbeg House.

I swung back into Julio's Liquors last week to pick up another couple of bottles they were holding for me.

The new Ardbeg Dolce is the latest annual Ardbeg Day special release. Finished in ex-Bourbon and Marsala dolce wine casks.

The Pinhook 10 year rye "Finish Line" is part of the ongoing Loch & Key Whisk(e)y Society vertical series. Each year a parcel of the same rye is bottled, just one year older than the last. The first release was aged 4 years and, despite the name, this isn't the end of the line yet.

I'm not really a 'peat head', but I do enjoy peat at times. And my preference tends to be the 'sweet peat' of Ardbeg.

I picked up the 23 year old Vintage Y2K 'blue' edition, the 25 year old, and the 19 year Traigh Bhan 04 (still looking for 07) - and the new Cask Strength 10, which came from Julio's Liquors

This is the big ticket item that came in last week, the new Drammers Club 19 year Ardbeg Single Cask #5459. Aged entirely in an ex-Oloroso Sherry Butt.

We took it along on a weekend trip with a couple of friends to Blue - Inn on the Beach on Plum Island this past weekend. It was a perfect dram for sitting by the windows, looking out across the snowy beach at the ocean, and just relaxing.

#Islay is the home to my favorite Whiskies. #Lagavulin tops my list, but #Laphroaig and #Ardbeg are also fantastic! Just across the little bay from Lagavulin is the ruins of Dunyvaig Castle.

I recently had several months worth of auction lots shipped, and last night I finally had time to open them. It has, unfortunately, been a crazy couple of months.

This is the first batch.

First up are five Ardbeg bottlings - the original 17 year (not the recent re-release), Traigh Bhan release 02, the Twenty One, Twenty Something 22yr, and Twenty Something 23yr.

A run of nice Single Grain bottlings from Clan Denny - 1997 20yr Invergordon, 1998 25yr Cambus, 1974 35yr North of Scotland, 1975 36yr Cambus, 1965 45yr Dumbarton, 1965 45yr Girvan, 1965 45yr Caledonian, and 1963 48yr Cambus.

And a 2006 bottling of Compass Box Hedonism. That's one I was missing from the lineup.

Recent pickups from Julio's Liquors.

First up, Ardbeg Smokiverse, this year's Fèis Ìle release. This just came in for those who had pre-ordered it, as I had, and will be generally available soon for Ardbeg Day.

Next up, Pinhook 9 year Straight Rye Whiskey "The Home Stretch. This is part of the Loch & Key Whisk(e)y Society vertical series which sees a new release each year, each one year older than the last. I've been collecting these since it started and I'm planning to wait for it to end, then do a gathering to side-by-side all of them. It will end when it ends - basically whenever another year starts to be too much.

Then Bully Boy Distillers Straight Bourbon Whiskey "Wickeder Dahk". Another Loch & Key bottling, this is obviously a follow up to the earlier "Wicked Dahk" bottle. (If you're wondering about the spelling, think Boston accent.)

And finally, Alma del Jaguar Tequila Nocturne. We tried their range at a recent Whisk(e)y Wednesday at Julio's Liquors - the standard Blanco, Reposado, and Anejo, and this one. Their standard line ferments 20% with champagne yeast and 80% with wild yeast, and they were all very good. But Nocturne is 100% wild yeast and I thought it was the best of the lot, and very affordable, so I grabbed one.

There was still more that arrived.

More Glenmorangie - Speakeasy bottle Cask 6813, three The Scotch Malt Whisky Society bottlings: 125.4, 125.15, & 125.37, and then three sample bottles - Finealta, Signet, and the 18 year Extremely Rare.

There were also two from Ardbeg - 19 year Traigh Bahn #1 & #3.

I already had #4 - #2 is still in the UK with another auction house and #5 is with a friend in CT as it couldn't be shipped to MA. #6 I'm still on the hunt for. I've been picking these up at auction for well below MSRP.

Ardbeg Traigh Bhan 5th edition. I'd initially passed these up, but they've been coming up at auction for pretty low low bids, so I've recently picked up all five. This is just the first to arrive.

And, just to avoid another post, Maker's Mark Cellar Aged 2024.

I picked up a few bottles from Julio's Liquors recently. The Russell's Reserve Loch & Key Whisk(e)y Society "Buddha-ful" 9-year straight bourbon, celebrating Julio's 50th year. The WhistlePig Whiskey Snout-to-Tail 10-year bourbon. Ardbeg Eureka! Committee Release. Maker's Mark Loch & Key "Second Curtain", the last of that stave combination. And Black Tot Rum 2021 Master Blender's Reserve Rum. I was missing this one (I have 22-24) and was pleasantly surprised to find Julio's still had it.

Go Whiskey Week is coming up fast. Tickets to events are selling out, so jump on those.

I've been sitting on bottles from Whisky Auctioneer for over six months as the shipping cost per bottle drops significantly as the number of bottles increases. I recently pulled the trigger on shipping and by last week everything had arrived - just in time for me to get sick. I finally opened it all tonight.

I picked up a number of Glenmorangie. The Maltman's Special Reserve 18 year. MH Private Europe 21 Year Cask 9. 1993 Swamp Oak Single Cask. 1991 Mount Everest bottling. The Scotch Malt Whisky Society 125.27 & 125.75. Crom 16 year Westport Warlords & Warriors Edition Thulsa's Choice. And Wilson & Morgan 18 year Westport.

Compass Box also got some love. I picked up Hedonism Maximus - the market release as I already have the LWDW bottling. Two additional bottlings of the standard Hedonism from 2018 & 2019. Canto Cask 17 & 124 - that brings me up to 8 of the 16. The Nectar 10th Anniversary release (I have the 15th). The "Double Single" original Craigellachie Hotel release from 2004. The Peat Monster 2008 bottling. And D is for Demi John.

And then a smattering of others. A Clase Azul Mezcal San Luis Potosi. Amrut Single Malt Rye - the first ever Indian Single Malt Rye. Three Clan Denny Single Grain bottlings - Garnheath 43 year, Invergordon 47 year, and Dumbarton 48 year. Wild Turkey 13 year Distiller's Reserve. Ardbeg Smoketrails Manzanilla Edition - a second bottle as I've shared my first at a few tastings and it is getting low. And, last but not least, a non-auction bottle from Julio's Liquors, Knob Creek Single Barrel Select Rye "Si" for the Loch & Key Whisk(e)y Society.

There were four other bottles, but those are for others.

Tonight's pick-ups from Julio's Liquors Whiskey Wednesday. As you can tell, I do enjoy rye.

Tonight was a great Beam Suntory tasting by Allie Klug, and I came away with the A. Overholt Monongahela Mash Rye and the Basil Hayden Malted Rye.

I also picked up the Loch & Key Whisk(e)y Society Pinhook 8 year Rye "Clubhouse Turn", which is the fifth bottle in an ongoing multi-year vertical.

And, not a rye, but the latest Ardbeg, Spectacular.

Definately prefer the Ardbeg 10 year single malt over the 5 year Wee Beastie. The 10 year is noticeably smoother and peaty vs the Wee Beastie that is a bit sharper & lacks intense peat & smokyness...
