I saw that too, can't comment on much Japanese whiskey outside of the usual suspects (Yamazaki, Hibiki and the like).

Unrelated to The Shin, I managed to get my hands on an Ardbeg 10 Cask Strength and a Laphroaig Elements 3.0 over the past week. Hope to find backups to both but may be a bit difficult.

Haven't heard any details about the 3.0 yet, I'll keep an eye out for it. Hoping to find some Ardbeg CS too.

Question for those into scotch. Glenfiddich 18 is my favorite, but at 150 bucks+ I have waited to buy another one. I saw a 15 year in costco for 80 bucks- any one have any opions on the 15? I would normally just buy and figure it out, but I've cut my drinking down significantly this year. Thanks!

I like the 15 more than the 18 personally, I think the solera process is the reason it lands right for me.

Yea older does not always mean "better" or that you should like it more! Different profiles from different producers get different opinions from different drinkers.

Went ahead and got a bottle of the 15 and tried it last night. Delightful pour with just a touch of spice to keep me interested. Definitely going into my regular rotation. Thanks for recommendation!

Oban 15 port cask finished acquired at Total Wine. Wanted more than 1 but that's all they had.

2026 Ardbeg Day release 'Ardbeg Dolce' is out now or soon depending on where you look, a NAS Ardbeg matured in bourbon and Sicilian Marsala (marsala dolce) casks weighing in at 47.8% ABV and MSRP of somewhere around $99.99 to $109.99

I have one in hand, now to get a couple more. I am extremely excited/intrigued with this release!

Also, I managed to get two Ardbeg 10 cask strengths in March but the third remains elusive...

Finally, seeing what appears to be Ardbeg Seasmoke, where they have added seawater to the mash... the QR code worked and said content will be available soon so watch this space?

I'm on the south side, but I checked online and found one available at TW Cedar Hill! I'm there quite a bit and always check, so maybe it just showed up. Appreciate the heads up.

That's great! I saw it online down here at the Galleria location so I ordered one to make my x3 and then figured I'd check inventory up your way just in case.

Must be good if you're getting 3, maybe I should consider a backup :-)

Spec's I went to at lunch had a Laphroaig Single Cask Selection (115.4 proof) that was fully matured in an amontillado barrel so I grabbed one and a Laphroaig Lore.

I got an amontillado bottle yesterday at a local Specs. Surprised to see them on the shelf. Still haven't seen a Lore in years.

I was as well, even had to ask them to confirm the price was righ for that.. If the others are still there when I go back it'll be hard to not snag another. The Lore has been sitting there for years so I figured why not.

Oban 15 Year Port Cask Finish (104.2 Proof, $139.99 but have seen online for $119.99 though you'd have to pay shipping) - Grabbed 2 more today to make my x3. Opened one and into the Glencairn it went. Nose was raspberries with the classic Oban behind, and when I say raspberries I mean it. That was the first note I got and it was obvious, then I looked at the label and it says "notes of raspberries and sweet vanilla...' about as honest and straightforward as they could get.

Initial sip I thought okay this is interesting and good (first whisky of the day), let it sit for about 5 minutes and then it became sweet and fruity and I think it would be a great dessert whisky. Well done Diageo and Oban, well done.

I do like last years more (oloroso and palo cortado finished) I think, but port and sherry don't deserved to be compared as they are not the same animal.

Wanted to crack the Ardbeg 10 year cask strength too but didn't get around to it unfortunately, life and stuff and aggie baseball.
