Timely!
Funny enough I bought a bottle of the 10 and one of the 12 today (and an Olde St Nick Summer)!
Next to a Blantons on my shelf!
St Nicks 119.1!
Now choosing which music will go with which!
Aye, and a fine glass she looks!
Sooo good!
Where to buy great single malt whisky at a bargain? The answer:
Asia flight to USA. My wife bought this one on airplane from Taiwan:
Apparently, this brand is very popular in Taiwan, and this bottle of Kavalan Oloroso Sherry Cask is selling for at least $400 in US, and she paid $92 tax free on her flight here. The wooden box is very nice too, and maybe I can convert it to a grounding box by putting some Tourmaline stones in it later
That one looks like its worth it.
Earlier this year I went to the Bahamas for the first time and picked up a bottle of Hennessy Pure White (which is now available in the US apparently!) for $50, half of what they want state side. Still, $50 too much… asking prices are high here in the US!
I should hunt down a bottle of Richard. Best I ever had.
Excellent choice!
Yes!!
Those are my favorite Kavalans, the Fino and the Vinho Barrique. I tried most others and chose a certain batch of those. I really love Whiskys and have a small (roughly in the 20s + backups) but quite selective collection meanwhile, cheers!
Edit: those US prizes for Kavalan are quite crazy…I guess my Kavalan stock alone would be 5-6k there.
Very nice! I need to schedule another Asia trip just for this whisky again!
You should plan a stop at Paul John Whisky in India, too!
Been a while, so thought I should drop and say (again) - Tea, of course - PG Tips (decaf) milk, no sugar. In a (thin walled, pre-heated) mug please
look at my Christmas gift from a dear friend and business associate….he sells lighting and I have done business with his firm for 30 years. Good people in a difficult but rewarding business. Very exciting gift!
