I’ve been drinking a lot of brandy and scotch lately.
19yr glendronach single cask aged in sherry butts was one of the best things I’ve ever had. Anyone a glendro fan? I’m hoping to visit there in November.

I need to check, one is due in this month.
Same story around here. My one store in 2014 bought 10 barrels at one visit that year then it was like 6 a year and now they get about 3. The price in 2014/2015 was as cheap as 34.99 at their Xmas sale for private selects. They just wanted to buy more barrels!!! Price has slowly climbed was 44.99 on sale then 55 now 70 bucks no sales sell out in minutes once the email announcement goes out.
Fortunately I did an inventory recently and I’m sitting on a few bottles from the 35/45 days.... one place in town still sells for 55 regular price.

Pretty tasty for a new release
Everyone has hyped this one up. It’s supposed to be like 25 bucks I hope stores don’t jack the price up from the get go.

Also had to try ..... Ancient Ancient Age 10 stars
Same mashbill as Blanton's, ETL and Rock Hill I believe..... Not bad but could definitely use a bit more age
Ugh I made the 10 star mistake one time. Real AAA 10 yr was so tasty :(
