@On_The_Moors - I have never heard of that bottle spot website. It seems like a place you could possibly find some nice bottles for your collection, but like @PBMichiganWolverine said- it’d be tough to verify authenticity and trust you’d be shipped what you bought. I’d need to do a lot of face to face there.
@On_The_Moors my biggest fear with those is verification on authenticity. What’s to prevent fake bottles there?
@PBMichiganWolverine gotcha. Worth checking out—it’s essentially a classifieds for private spirits sellers.
@On_The_Moors no,haven’t heard of it
@LeeEvolved @PBMichiganWolverine either of you gents have experience using bottle-spot dot com?
"@LeeEvolved @PBMichiganWolverine that’s so awesome. If you head over ask for Mike. He knows his stuff and provides stellar customer service. Mention Erik from DC sent ya! I just ordered from him a few days ago and he went the extra mile for me. He told me a few days ago there were 3 left of the 2014 so you should be golden. He also has 2015s."
@LeeEvolved @On_The_Moors I’m 30 minutes from Adelphia wines. Hmmm...I’ll do it for $100.
@On_The_Moors - I know a place that has the 2012 Cairdeas if you’re interested. Unfortunately, they’re asking $300 for it. Flaskfinewines.com out of California. They have some rarer bottles too. They are just quite pricey.
Hmm, @On_The_Moors - I know a guy that doesn’t live too far from Adelphia Wine. I wonder if he likes being owed a favor? Oh, @PBMichiganWolverine ...
@PBMichiganWolverine well shit, if that’s the case I might as well crack all these unopened bottles!
@LeeEvolved there’s a place in NJ called adelphia wine and spirits that I know has at least 3 left of the 2014 cairdeas. Thing is, they only ship to DC I think.
Aren’t the 2008 up all Cairdeas? Distiller has it under Cairdeas. Does that mean I can break my collection and chug down the 2008 - 2011? 😊
@PBMichiganWolverine- the big question is “what constitutes the full set”? I believe it is the 2012-present, because the 2008-2011 are Feis Isle releases and not Cairdeas. What say you? Is it 2012-2017 or 2008-2017? Inquiring minds want to know.
@On_The_Moors. I recently just found out that I have the full set. Funny thing is that I never meant to collect it...just sort of “accumulated” through the years ever since their first one. I wish I never found out, cause now I feel as if I need to buy one every year
Hehe @On_The_Moors, all I need is the 2014 Amontillado to complete my set.
@LeeEvolved $250, huh? Oof. That’s a hefty price tag but I may just have to pull the trigger. Bessie the 2012, this is the only one missing from my collection of unopened cairdeas’.
Lol, monitor Scotch Whisky Auctions as I see them pop up on there kind of regularly. They’ve been going for upwards of $250 after fees and shipping from the U.K. If you find a store with them hidden on a back shelf somewhere- give us a shout out. Cheers.
