Re: What have you Brought today?
A book called `Handmade in Melbourne'.
http://theblog.modamuse.com/?postid=68
lt has 80 people featured who makes things by hand. The articles are very basic, no real detail at all. lt's just a good basic guide.

Dark brown `Saphir' cream in preparation for a new one. 
The new one should be a beauty!

A bottle of Auchentoshan whisky - 10 year old, the classic. Much nicer than the more expensive three woods.
The only whisky that tastes of coconut.

Re: What have you Brought today?
Gentlemen,
All very wise choices, but the real aficionado instinctively knows that the Provenance Spring 1982 bottling of Port Ellen is the ultimate Islay malt. Ofcourse, you may scoff, this from a man, who is currently enjoying a pesky Lowland malt, and Auchentoshan at that.
Anyway, my recommendation, my recent discovery is a multitude of Arran whiskies finished in wine and cognac casks - there's several of them. And they're all tremendous.
I've spent all my pocket money this month, hence the Auchy, but I will stocking up asap with the new Arran malts.
Arran is most definitely the best of the new distilleries.
Kingstonian made a wise choice in buying a cask of Arran, his regret at not buying Springbank is misfounded. Arran is a whisky that will fortify us for the hard years ahead.

Re: What have you Brought today?
As it happens, I bought a bottle of that a couple of weeks ago, some special distillation process running up hill, as I remember. Very nice, except I only drank about two small nips and then I managed to drop the bottle coming in from a wedding half cut.

Re: What have you Brought today?
Laphroaig, I am led to believe escaped prohibition being classed as a medicine. I'm not convinced this story is true. Whatever you do, don't buy the Laphroiag Quarter Cask expression - the only whisky that stayed in my cabinet for 18 months, it was that undrinkable. Half regurgated menstral fluid, the rest creosote.
Ah yes, rumbullion the drink of the colonies, but has to be cut these days with coke. It lakes complexity to drink neat.

Re: What have you Brought today?
I went to an 'estate sale' which is newspeak for gand uncle Sedgwick passed over and we are selling off his life ( and a bunch of crap we have) to buy a new widescreen:
Real turtleshell double cufflinks for $1
A nearly full bottle of Woods of Windsor EDT, itself deceased and a decent, well balanced scent that was always modestly priced. My hoard now stands at 4 bottles $1
