I'm a well known Glenmorangie fanatic, so it should come as no surprise that a number of the recent arrivals are Glenmo.

The Year of the Horse wasn't an auction lot. That one I'd reserved well in advance through LVMH and picked up at Julio's Liquors. This is the rarest of the zodiac bottles to date, with only 388 instead of 888 bottles as with the previous four releases.

Cask 8664 was a Distillery Exclusive Release packaged like their Rare Cask offerings.

I picked up one of the 10 Year Old special label bottles, with the stills on the back, and the 1996 bottling of the 1974 vintage.

I also picked up four more Speakeasy bottles - 5446, 5448, 9601, & 9629.

Two more The Scotch Malt Whisky Society Glenmorangie bottles were obtained - 125.2 & 125.11

And then several independent bottles. A couple of Cadenhead 'Highland' bottles which my research indicated should be Glenmorangie, and several Westport bottlings - which is 'teaspooned' Glenmo.

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.
