#scotchmaltwhiskysociety — Public Fediverse posts

I've gotten behind in sharing recent pick ups. I've been doing a lot of Drammers Club online tastings, and I took advantage of their Drinqy discount to pick up a few things.

Tenmile Distillery doesn't have distribution in MA yet, but my friend Melissa Giges (late of Compass Box) is repping for them now, and I was impressed by their tasting, so I had to pick up a couple. They make American Single Malt Whisky, which is a relatively small category.

I picked up Little Rest First Edition, which was one of the samples in our tasting that I quite enjoyed. And, being a rye lover, I had to pick up the Double Matured Rye Cask Finish. This wasn't one of the samples, but I'm looking forward to trying this one. I do hope they get a MA distributor soon.

I also picked up the Knob Creek Bourbon X Rye. Knob Creek is a favorite, and I've really liked other bourbon/rye blends, so I figured I'd give this a shot.

And they just got High West Distillery A Midwinter Night's Dram Act 13 in, and had it on discount, so I snapped that up. I hadn't seen it pop up in MA yet. This continues my run - I have all 14 Acts (including Encore).

I also finally corrected a long time oversight on my part and joined the The Scotch Malt Whisky Society of America. I don't know what took me so long, but they were running a promo where you got membership with the purchase of a bottle. So I picked up "The Wandering" Blended Malt Scotch - which appears to be called "Wandering Alchemy" outside the US.

The auction lots included a lot of Glenmorangie. Cask 388 is a distillery exclusive - lightly peated Glenmorangie, which should be very interesting. I also picked up an early Signet bottling as it is one of my favorites, and that older packaging was the best.

A 16yr Distillery Managers Choice, laid down July 1, 1983 and bottled May 4, 2000 at cask strength. A 10yr Cask Strength laid down March 16, 1982 and bottled August 24, 1992.

And a Speakeasy bottle, Cask 13039, laid down in 1995 and bottled August 21, 2008.

Finally, eight Glenmorangie bottles from the The Scotch Malt Whisky Society - 125.8, 125.25, 125.29, 125.44, 125.47, 125.59, 125.60, and a wee bottle of 125.61.

The majority of what arrived recently has been Glenmorangie. Let's start off with these, first a bottle of the 21-year Elegance. I have an open bottle of this which is getting quite low, and I saw this going for a very low bid and snagged it.

And then some other bottlings:
- 10-year Cask Strength bottled in celebration of being voted one of the 100 best UK companies to work for in 2003. 217 of 350.
- A special 17-year Cask Strength bottling distilled in 1987 and bottled in 2004 to celebrate the sale of Glenmorangie to LVMH. My bottle was originally presented to Geraldine O'Hagan. 194 of 346.
- 10-year Cask Strength bottled in 2002, Cask No. 1285. It was bottled to celebrate ten years of partnership between Glenmorangie and Bacardi-Martini. 73 of 249.

And two The Scotch Malt Whisky Society Glenmorangie bottlings, 125.51 & 125.70.

There are some auction sites which won't ship to MA, so I have to have them sent to a very kind friend in CT who is willing to accept shipments on my behalf. He's been holding a few for me for a while, and we were able to meet up today at WhiskyMentors in Canterbury, CT.

All told I brought home 14 bottles from auctions, and one I picked up while I was there. I'll break it up into separate posts.

These are the Glenmorangie that came in.

The Dr. Bill Lumsden X Azuma Makoto 23 Year Old. It is a very pretty case and bottle, looking forward to trying this one.

There are also three 2005 Rare Limited Edition Single Cask releases, which completes the series for me, AFAIK. These are the 'Post' Oak, Slow-grown, Air-Dried Bourbon Cask, and Port Pipe Matured. As well as a two-bottle Rare Edition set of the Port Wood Finish and Rare Edition Port Wood Finish.

And two The Scotch Malt Whisky Society Glenmorangie bottlings - 125.67 & 125.68.

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.

A couple of auction boxes arrived this week.

First up, from Unicorn Auctions, two High West Distillery expressions - a Bottled in Bond Straight Rye and a rum cask finished bourbon. I'm a sucker for rum finishes.

And six from Scotch Whisky Auctions. Three Compass Box Whisky expressions - two vintages of Hedonism to fill in gaps in my lineup, and the Great King Street Experimental Batch 00-V4. (Still seeking TR-06). A Scotch Malt Whisky Society Glenmorangie 125.80. Amrut Single Cask Single Grain Indian Whisky. And a Clan Denny 29 year old Cameronbridge Single Grain.

The perks of being a longtime member of the #ScotchMaltWhiskySociety. And this year’s special renewal bottle will probably also have the approval of @majnouna for it’s delightful sleeve design.
Slanté.

Always love WhiskyCast’s interviews, but this bit from Scotch Malt Whisky Society’s Pip Hills is an important part of my philosophy. Whisky is for sharing and enjoying.
