I've picked up some interesting stuff recently.
In the Waitrose sale I got some Woodford Reserve, which is the first bourbon I have ever had neat. Thought it was about time I tried.
Also picked up some Balvenie 14yo Carribean Cask. This is matured in rum casks rather than bourbon or sherry.
Then today I went to the Vintage House to pick up a special McGibbons 'Provenance' bottling of Benrinnes 1998 sherry cask malt for a gift. Not going to get to try that, but I couldn't resist picking something up for myself, and got a 2001 cask strength Caol Ila bottled by Gordon and Macphail. This is matured in refill sherry casks, and is 59.8%. What a lovely complex thing it is!
