@PBMichiganWolverine Ah lucky. Yeah If I lived closer like you do I'd do the same but not quite worth a few days travel and few thousand $ all the way from NZ!

@PBMichiganWolverine Bring a bottle to drop off at the Whisky Auction stand and you’ve more than covered your costs

@Soba45 @Richard-ModernDrinking I think I’m going to go next year. Air tickets aren’t bad this time of the year, and this sounds like a festival worth the travel

@Richard-ModernDrinking I'd love to go to that festival! Some amazing drams you sampled. There were a good 50 I wanted to try on the list although half were dream drams so doubt the budget would have stretched to them all! Out of interest can you add new entries ok in the last few weeks and if so what os do you use e.g. Android 9 or iOS? I still can't add any new ones

And it being the lowest level on earth, I’d imagine the pressure plays a role too.

@PBMichiganWolverine They matured some casks there. It’s very hot and humid so you could imagine that one day is equivalent to a year in Scotland. The angel’s share is ridiculous.

I gotta look up the Dead Sea casks. I didn’t realize anything grows around the Dead Sea ( that name sort of implies it), unless it’s just a marketing name

@PBMichiganWolverine The M&H single cask was their first commercial three-year-old. The Dead Sea casks tasted amazing even at 10 months.

@PBMichiganWolverine The list of whiskies I meant to taste but didn’t is heartbreaking. Next year I think I will go for both days.

@Richard-ModernDrinking that’s an amazing list. I’ve had one Milk & Honey before, but was a young spirit.

@PBMichiganWolverine Here’s what @Mike11 and I managed to taste before he did the fatherly thing and cut me off for my own good: Ben Nevis 1996 22 Year Old The Magic of the Cask Speyside Blend 1973 45 Year Old The Magic of the Cask Caol Ila 2009 9 Year Old The Magic of the Cask Chichibu London Edition 2019 Hazelburn 14 Year Old Sherry Wood Kilkerran 15 Year Old UK Single Cask September 2019 Release Kilkerran 8 Year Old Cask Strength 2019 Release Kilkerran Work in Progress #3 Bot.2011 Springbank 15 Year Old Rum Wood Springbank 15 Year Old Springbank 21 Year Old Brora 1982 34 Year Old Special Releases 2017 Compass Box The Circle Compass Box No Name #2 Ben Nevis Private Cask 19 Year Bruichladdich Black Art 7.1 Ben Nevis 1966 32 Year Old Forgotten Bottling Ben Nevis 10 Year Old Cask Strength Batch 001 Compass Box Transistor E&K 5 Year Old Indian & Scotch Fusion Milk & Honey Single Malt Whisky Show London Edition Milk & Honey Ex-pomegranate Wine CaskThat Boutique-y Whisky Company Milk & Honey Mediterranean Sea Milk & Honey Rye Cask Milk & Honey STR Red Wine Cask Milk & Honey Dead Sea The Milk & Honey Dead Sea casks were a highlight, as were the Ben Nevis 19 and 33.

@Richard-ModernDrinking between so many great things you tasted, which 2-3 are the most memorable ?

@PBMichiganWolverine A Ben Nevis 33 distilled in 1966. Will write up that and others in coming days

What was the other dream dram?

if this was a 4.25 in a location full of superstars, I’d imagine this is a 5 when you get the chance to appreciate it alone

@LeeEvolved There is a place in Australia smwhisky that does samples. I got a 33 yr G&M Brora sample for under $30USD. Also for Port Ellen and Dallas Dhu of similar ages. Great prices.

Wow, bucket list type of dram. I’ll probably never get a chance to sample a Brora. Cheers.
