Picked up this handy little ice ball maker. Does an amazing job.
Makes perfectly clear 2.35” ice balls.

Wow that is expensive. Pretty sure I got it for way cheaper in the past.

[RX_EVOLV]

yeah it's gone up. They used to be in the $210-230 range.

[roopi]

Thanks for the heads up. Agree quite the increase.

I finally tracked down a Ben Nevis 10 for 50 Euros. It's been very difficult to find and there are both rumours that the post-2017 bottlings included a lot of 18-year and even some 21-year due to declining stocks and issues with Nikka (they supposedly use a lot of Ben Nevis in their Nikka from the Barrel).

I may even order a second "investment" bottle just to stick away for a few years to see what happens. Can't see 10yo ever being worth a load of money but perhaps it will 4x+.

Will forever be a favorite, love the Oogie!

[davidI]

^ Great photo and great dram. I haven't had it and the Corry next to each other but based on memory I preferred the Oogie.

Big fan of both honestly, but Uigeadail takes the cake for me just a perfect mix of sweet sherry notes paired with smoke. Fell in love with it on Islay and haven't looked back!

Would you say Uigeadail takes the [Glenmorangie A Tale of] Cake for you?

Let's sip them side by side and discuss... TOC is a bit underwhelming though.

OMG nice find... if i see this for $50 Euro I would probably buy at least 2-3 bottles. 1 to drink and 2 to store.

All right, which one of you guys scooped up all the Laphroaig 10yr Sherry Oaks that went on sale today at Corporate Discountlander today?

I tried grabbing one and it sold out real fast.

They were gone in less than 5 mins. No luck here.

Even their retail is 25-30 buck cheaper than most other places in town!

I've been cutting back on my whisky intake the last couple of months but couldn't resist picking up this bottle at 50% off for 6.50€ (~ C$10) in Spain.

Not the best whisky to drink neat by any means but with an ice cube and splash of mix it's decent value. Most reviews say the finish is short but I actually think there's a bit of peat smokiness that lingers along with that typical grain alcohol aftertaste.

The rum notes aren't that strong but there's definitely some caramel/brown sugar going on so perhaps that's coming from the rum cask.

Dewar's recommends a coconut highball. I haven't tried it yet but I reckon it would be a winner. Either way, a decent bottom shelf bottle that has more complexity than your typical Canadian Club or cheap Scotch blend.

I've always wanted to go to Feis Ila on Islay but am currently getting a taste of Laphroaig's virtual tour with a dram of their 10-year (sadly, not the CS).
