I just plucked two more bottles of Extremely Rare Glenmorangie 18 years from my local distributor who had them on the shelf for well over a year, and who cut me a deal to move them. The two bottles together cost lest than my first bottle I bought at the duty free in Heathrow two years ago, so now I will feel more comfortable partaking of a dram or two more frequently knowing that my "vault" carries spares. If anybody else tastes it and thinks there is a dark chocolate flavor to it let me know, so I can feel better about not hallucinating that particular flavor.

Glenmorangie has a new premium bottling called Ealanta which is rather hard to come by on this side of the pond. If any of my UK brethren come across it shout out a report of its flavor and worthiness of joining the "collection". Anybody THIS side of the pond who comes across a decent deal for it give a shout out and we will see what kind of deal we might formulate for me to get my hands on some.
