Recent pickups from Julio's Liquors.
First up, Ardbeg Smokiverse, this year's Fèis Ìle release. This just came in for those who had pre-ordered it, as I had, and will be generally available soon for Ardbeg Day.
Next up, Pinhook 9 year Straight Rye Whiskey "The Home Stretch. This is part of the Loch & Key Whisk(e)y Society vertical series which sees a new release each year, each one year older than the last. I've been collecting these since it started and I'm planning to wait for it to end, then do a gathering to side-by-side all of them. It will end when it ends - basically whenever another year starts to be too much.
Then Bully Boy Distillers Straight Bourbon Whiskey "Wickeder Dahk". Another Loch & Key bottling, this is obviously a follow up to the earlier "Wicked Dahk" bottle. (If you're wondering about the spelling, think Boston accent.)
And finally, Alma del Jaguar Tequila Nocturne. We tried their range at a recent Whisk(e)y Wednesday at Julio's Liquors - the standard Blanco, Reposado, and Anejo, and this one. Their standard line ferments 20% with champagne yeast and 80% with wild yeast, and they were all very good. But Nocturne is 100% wild yeast and I thought it was the best of the lot, and very affordable, so I grabbed one.

First weekend at the cabin this year ❤️. Planting things and felling things and saying hello to lots of other things after the long winter.
Into the daylight. After years in the cool quiet darkness of the bonded warehouse, a cask of what has become Scotch whisky heads off for bottling at Ardbeg Distillery on the Isle of Islay. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/islay/ardbegdistillery/index.html
There was still more that arrived.
More Glenmorangie - Speakeasy bottle Cask 6813, three The Scotch Malt Whisky Society bottlings: 125.4, 125.15, & 125.37, and then three sample bottles - Finealta, Signet, and the 18 year Extremely Rare.
There were also two from Ardbeg - 19 year Traigh Bahn #1 & #3.
I already had #4 - #2 is still in the UK with another auction house and #5 is with a friend in CT as it couldn't be shipped to MA. #6 I'm still on the hunt for. I've been picking these up at auction for well below MSRP.
I’m a big Ardbeg fan so couldn’t pass up the chance to try Corryvreckan this afternoon. Peaty, salty and medicinal. Excellent! Right up my street. It won’t replace the Uigeadail for me but I must get a bottle.
Schottland 2024 – Tag 2 – Ardbeg, Dunyvaig Castle und Pizza
Am zweiten Tag gibt es ein schottisches Frühstück bevor wir die Ardbeg Distillery besuchen. Nach einer privaten Führung mit Verkostung erkunden wir Dunyvaig Castle. Der Tag endet nach einer mühsamen Essenssuche in Bowmore mit einem gemütlichen Abend vor dem Ofen. #MeinSchottland #Schottland #Reisebericht #Islay #Ardbeg

Ardbeg Traigh Bhan 5th edition. I'd initially passed these up, but they've been coming up at auction for pretty low low bids, so I've recently picked up all five. This is just the first to arrive.
And, just to avoid another post, Maker's Mark Cellar Aged 2024.
I picked up a few bottles from Julio's Liquors recently. The Russell's Reserve Loch & Key Whisk(e)y Society "Buddha-ful" 9-year straight bourbon, celebrating Julio's 50th year. The WhistlePig Whiskey Snout-to-Tail 10-year bourbon. Ardbeg Eureka! Committee Release. Maker's Mark Loch & Key "Second Curtain", the last of that stave combination. And Black Tot Rum 2021 Master Blender's Reserve Rum. I was missing this one (I have 22-24) and was pleasantly surprised to find Julio's still had it.
Go Whiskey Week is coming up fast. Tickets to events are selling out, so jump on those.

I’ve come to the opinion that Ardbeg Uigeadail may be the best whisky ever made!
Hui! Wir waren ja letzte Woche bei unserem alljährlichen Kochwochenende. Auf dem Rückweg haben wir im Scandinavian Park eine Flasche #Whisky "Ardbeg, Wee Beastie, 5 Jahre alt" gekauft.
Schön rauchig, torfig, scharf und echt wild - schließlich ist er ja noch ein ganz junges Torfmonster. 👾
Das Torfige muss man natürlich mögen. Ich persönlich würde Interessierten aber den 10-jährigen Bruder empfehlen - der ist milder und nicht so biestig.
Nach #Ardbeg waren wir noch bei #Dunnyvaig #Castle und haben im Windschatten ein Bier geteilt und einen gekauften Whisky von Ardbeg. 🥃🍺
