So the night before we left, these were the bottles that were still left: Black Grouse, JW Black, Laphroig 10, Glenlivet 12, Macallan 15, Highland Park, the second Balvenie Double Wood, Johnny Walker Single Barrel, Maker's Mark 46 and Maker's Mark. (Although JW Black and both Maker's Marks were bought the weekend before we left on Monday, and the Black Grouse and Double Wood were bought right before we left for the week-long cruise.)
Above are the empties: two JW Green Labels, JW Gold Label (rest in peace), Laphroig Cask Strength, Lagavulin, the first Balvenie Double Wood, and a Pinch. Which brings us to the final picture:
I really had to widen the shot to get everything in, and we weren't sure they'd all fit. But there they are, almost all of them still with their boxes.It was a very Merry Scotchmas and to all, a good night!
Just one regret: we saw a Johnny Walker Double Black and a JW Swing, had never heard of either of them (I hadn't, at least). Today Hubby looked it up--Double Black is only available internationally. It's supposed to be smokier than regular Black. And Hubby tried Black on the cruise decided he liked it better than the Black Grouse (its procurement had been a Scotchmas miracle too, btw, as we couldn't find it in any of our local alcohol stores back home), so now we have an agenda for the next time we go on a cruise, I'm afraid.
I actually have my own regret: on Thursday of the cruise we did a wine tasting and Hubby won a bottle of Champagne. We were supposed to open it our last weekend but with all of the Scotch, neglected to so instead I think my mother-in-law will consume it and I won't get to try a taste. I think it was a nice bottle of Champagne, too.
