    Started off my KWM advent calendar tonight. 24 days of single malts. That should get me through the month.

    Just looked it up. Do you know offhand if they're sold out or an on-the-shelf item?

    Sold out a couple of weeks ago. Limited to around 300 per year I think. So far day 1 was a glencairn tasting glass with a 50ml linkwood speyside 15yr. Light with a bit of fire. 23 more days to go.

    I havent read the entire thread but Ive really been digging the Tomatin 12 year lately. Took in the tasting at Willow Park and really enjoyed it. The guy that came from the distillery in Scotland was awesome and we got to sample the 12, the 12 french oak, the 15, 18 and 30 as well as the Cu Bocan which is exclusive to Willow and not available in the US. The 12 is great as its non peated so its really smooth and not overly smokey like a laphroaig.



    Off the scotch and for whisky ive been drinking the Bushmills 1608 Special Reserve 12 year and it goes down really nice. Not easy to find but well worth the search.

    I just ordered both my Glencairn and Canadian Glencairn glasses off amazon.ca. Best prices and came super quick.

    Nice!! I was so tempted but couldn't pull the trigger. $375 for ~1.25L ish of scotch is too rich for me, but I heard the one last year had some spectacular stuff.

    Keep us posted on the rest of it! maybe I'll start saving for next year's.

    Well day two is definitely more my style. Benriach 16yr. Lots of heat, but balanced. This is a bottle I would pick up in a heartbeat. Best part about this advent calendar is I'm going to have a great short list soon.

    It's been a good week. Tried this last night, and it was really good. Super smooth nose with lots of vanilla/caramel, and the taste is like biting into slightly overripe fruit. Opens up alot more with a little bit of water as well. Opposite end of the spectrum of smoky/peaty whiskies.

    Highly recommended if you can get your hands on a bottle. The 17 and 23 year varieties are supposedly even better.

    How/where did you get that?

    you didnt get to try the new 14yr finished in a port cask? its probably my favorite. its replacing the 15yr in the line and its like $5 cheaper a bottle

    the limited edition cu bocan was okay, but im not a big peat fan, but it might be worth a bottle since it was technically a fuck up back in the day and they didnt get into the peaty stuff till years later so its really limited

    ^^

    Local purchase? I want one!

    I had the Hibiki 12 at a lounge in Vegas back in June and it was delicious. They served it with a King Cube... until I got the bill and found it was $21 Good ol' Vegas.

    Got it in Vancouver at a random liquor store for $110 CAD. I've been looking for the 23 year for a long time but can't seem to find one, along with a Yamazaki 18 or 25 year.

    Tried finding the Yamazaki in Houston and it's not sold in the US yet. Highlander does not carry any Japanese scotch.
    They do, however, have a Bowmore tester pack with a 12, 15 and 18 year which I picked up today

    Thanks. I'm heading to Vancouver over the holidays and I'll try and find one.
