I'm a Scotch geek.
Years ago my wife had an acquaintance that collected scotch. He didn't drink, so all of his collection was unopened.

I know people like that. I am not one of them. I'm 73. I drink everything I buy. I'm even drinking a Macallan 25th Anniversary. (Much rarer than a Macallan 25.) You don't see too many of those but I'll drink it anyway.

Thank you! And absolutely - Irish drams
Nice collection! The number of Scotch whiskies in our collection now is very low actually, we have a decent Islay collection with some rarer distillery exclusives and the likes, but very few unpeated. They don't sell much Scotch in Ireland, other than Celtic whiskey shop and the likes.
That is SO sad. I buy whiskeys to enjoy them.. and my opinion is that they are also made to be enjoyed.

Yeah, their whisky was excellent. It closed for reasons other than the quality of the spirit. It's now run as a museum with constant rumours of a restart that come to nothing. If you buy a bottle that says Dallas Dhu on it, it will be a single malt from the distillery, not a blend.

Yes, Dallas Dhu filled the last barrel in 1983 so there can't be many bottles left. Economics and water supply did them in according to the host. It is now an Historic Scotland property (get a membership) and well worth a visit since one can poke around in places that are off limits on a working distillery tour. I had a wee dram of the blend that they were selling which was quite good.

Ahh i wondered if that's what you meant. I looked but couldn't find anything on what they're selling. Do you remember what it was called?
I'll pour one of these

Dallas Dhu . . . I guess it would be considered a "silent distillery" now. I have had a 33 year old bottled by Signatory. It was bottled in 1976. I tried it 4 years ago so I don't remember much about how it tasted.

What is the oldest Scotch that you have ever had?

Sometimes I take the whiskey with me to the garden. This is a new Irish whiskey, malt whiskey matured in bourbon casks and finished in Tawny port casks. Highly recommended.

You really keep it nice and neat there. Did you find the new Mac 18 any much different than the old past like when for Vintage 1996 or 2017 release?
Cheers

It seems that whiskey is infiltrating the whisky thread
