Loved the dinner but loved the malt decriptions even more... Hansell described one malt as "falling off a weathered wooden boat into a salty sea, soaking ones lamb wool sweater & drying off next to a roaring peat fire!! Hansell is revolutionary....

I was thinking about grabbing the 12, Gran Reserva, and 15. Sounds like it might be a good idea. We just got the whole range in to a shop right down the street.

But don't hold your breath on PA. You might have to special order it, or just get it outside PA during one of your travels. Jon, it sould be getting into circulation.

The Cigar Malt never did it for me. It's one of a few malts that, to my nose, has a very offputting scent of fish cooked in banana leaves. Weird, I know. The 28 year old Stillman's Dram is FANTASTIC. I paid a bit (but not much) more than $110 for mine, but for that style and pricepoint I thought it was a good deal (would take it over some Mac 18's). I can't wait to try the new 15, despite the sad news of 40%. Any idea of when it will be available? Will it come to PA? I liked the old Dalmore 12 for its sweet simplicity.

We're going to a party tonight and I'm bringing my bottle of Dalmore 12 to share with fellow whisky drinkers. They are mostly JW Black drinkers just getting into single malts. I'm leaving the bottle there with them to enjoy when I leave. Todd, well let me put my money where my mouth is.

It has gone up in price from the $20 days. Funny coincidence about this post, several days ago my brother and friend called from a liquor store and asked what they should get in $30ish price range. I immediately suggested the Dalmore 12. He called back today and said he ended up with the Lagavulin 16, as they did not carry the Dalmore 12 and he is very happy with his choice - albeit for a bit more money.

As we talk about this new line of bottlings I cannot help but think of Drew. I certainly hope he would be proud of these new (or revised) expressions.
