Hi guys, I bought some older bottles at auction, somewhere in the 1990’s early 2000s i would guess. They have some moldy spot on the labels and tin. I wiped them off so the mold is gone. Not worried about the content but can i just place them in my storage with my other bottles? Or will this moldy affect the other bottles? Thanks

I’m thinking of getting a nice bottle after my father passed away to only drink on special occasions. Is this one decent? I know it’s NAS but is it good? Worth the money?

Does anyone know what and when the next Hazelburn limited release will be? I understand the last limited release Oloroso was 2023 15 year. Where is the 2024 release? Any whispers on what is coming if anything?

Which oban, little bay, 14,18. Distillers edition, has the most vanilla?

Will be hosting a Scotch Whisky tasting event. We'd like to sample one whisky from each of the regions. What suggestions would you have as reasonably priced whiskies that most represents the flavor and characteristics of their region of origin?

Currently staying near Aviemore in the Cairngorms for a few days and fancy going to a distillery to get a nice bottle!

Any recommendations around this area? There’s Speyside Distillery about 10 minutes from here! And I drive past Dalwhinnie on the way home.

Edit: thinking about getting a bottle of Dalwhinnie 15. Never tried it but apparently it’s nice and smooth.

Found a 25+ year old price list for Springbank's Millennium Edition series... Those prices are never coming back 😆

Don't know if this is the right sub, but anyway.  As the title states, I am turning 20 soon. For my 18th b-day, I got a bottle of rum from South America, although I never really was into rum. Therefore, I was looking for whisky from my birth year 2005, and found this one from bbr. 

Again, I am a complete amateur and have little more knowledge than knowing what a Macallen is. My budget is ~100$, as I want something valuable and no cheap whiskey from amazon. Also, I like the idea of the bottle being somewhat rare (there are 317), meaning only a few hundred bottles produced. Additionally, this scotch only is sold in the EU, at least as far as I know. So, has anyone here made some experience with this whisky, or a similar bbr one? Is the Highland Park distillery a good/renowned one? Or are there other recommendations? I am happy for every response! 

Hey folks,

I’ve been spending most of my whisky journey so far in peaty territory, mostly in the Islay distilleries (Kilchoman MB, Sanaig, PC10) and a few lightly peated mainlanders (Ardnamurchan AD, Glen Scotia Campbelltown Harbour, Glenglassaugh Portsoy). I’m looking to switch things up a bit and try something new. I’ve heard interesting things about the Craigellache 13 and it goes for a reasonable price where I am. What were your experiences like with this worm tub dram?

Had a little tasting sesh last night. Clearing out the boxes. Or do serious players keep them?

If it works, it works....let you know how it goes. Two bottles of Laphroaig Lore found in a corner shop for $120 each and a bottle of Kilchoman Loch Gorm 2023 for $90. Thought I didn't have enough room for more and now I am kicking myself for not grabbing the last bottle of Lock Gorm 2022 I saw in the back. Any horror stories to share when traveling to help me avoid issues?

Hi everyone, as the title says I'm pretty new to drinking scotch. Johnnie Walker black got me hooked and I ended up falling in love with Johnnie Walker Green and Glenfiddich 12 lately. Laphroaig is a bit too smoky for me but still decent. What are some other good scotches to try based on what I like?
