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.

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.

I went to a whisky tasting at Dynamic Earth and, specifically, the planetarium.
I was, well, sceptical. I've been to the planetarium a few times. Been there, done it.
It was, of course, brilliant. The presentation in the planetarium was literally awesome.
A really good evening. Some delicious whisky, and a great experience!

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.

Latest arrivals - Compass Box Lady Luck - with the box and playing cards! That's a unicorn down. Rare to see them at auction with the box, let alone the cards. All the cards are there, in good condition.
And a The Scotch Malt Whisky Society 125.28 10cl Glenmorangie bottling.

Anyone who doesn't know me who reads my feed probably thinks I drink like a fish.
And this post isn't going to help.
Today a shipment arrived from Scotch Whisky Auctions. A smaller one this time, with three The Scotch Malt Whisky Society bottles - one Hampden Estate Rum and two Glenmorangie, two Compass Box - The Spaniard and a signed, but unfortunately smudged, early The Spice Tree, and, finally, a The Clan Denny 45 year old Single Grain from the Carsebridge Distillery.

The latest round of acquisitions - local and auctions.
A bunch of Glenmorangie (including that The Scotch Malt Whisky Society UK bottling), a couple of Clase Azul, the Compass Box Bern's #1 I'm really looking forward to comparing with the #2 we've already tried, some rum from last night's Maison Ferrand tasting at Julio's Liquors (the Long Pond and Canerock) and a new bottle of Hampden Rum Fire as the last one gave it's all, a Wild Turkey U.S. 12 year European release I was hearing good things about, and the Loch & Key Whisk(e)y Society Catoctin Creek "Leaky Binders" barrel select rye.

Thanks to my neighbor for letting me know there was a box for me sitting on the ground by our condo mailboxes. No thanks to DHL for leaving a box full of whiskey from a European auction there with no signature.
But it is safe now. The SMWS is 125.77.
