The first picture is my collection with closed whiskys for collection or special occasions and the second one is my open cabinet upstairs..

I'm ready to open all of them (as soon as I have a double 😉)

I'm from 🇨🇭 so I have mostly Scotch, a few European Whisky and then about 5 or 6 Bourbons.

What do you think?

What's missing?

They really have a fun selection of bottles here—great to have a bar like this in the neighborhood. Went with the son tonight, had some very nice drams and just kind of stared longingly at some bottles that were a bit out of our price range. Fun times. Will be back 😊

Hi all, I'm here with another Suntory whisky, and this one it's a single cask Hakushu from the SMWS!

I've been working on quite a handful of other obscure, mid-to-low shelf Suntory items, but figured doing too many in a row would be a bit stale, so here's a change of pace.

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) is a membership organisation based in Scotland which purchases select barrels from many different distilleries all over the world, then bottle & sell these whiskies directly to its members. Afaik, each distillery was given a number, and the number behind the period signifies the release sequence of said whisky by SMWS.

Interestingly, the SMWS also had selected barrels from many non-Scotch distilleries, including several Japanese distilleries ranging from Suntory and Nikka to even extinct distilleries like Karuizawa and Hanyu!

This bottle here is one they selected from the Hakushu distillery, and it's a heavily peated, 13 yr old Hakushu bottled at cask strength!

Details in comments!

I am enjoying a dram of a vintage Glenmorangie Côte D’Or Burgundy Wood Finish scotch this evening.
