Tasty Tasty Whisky: April 2009
http://tastytastywhisky.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
So I was walking down the road on one of my lunchtime walks and I was passing a fine establishment called Centre City Wines and Spirits. Outside there was a blackboard with a list of whiskies you can walk in and taste. First on the list was this exceptional drop! 21yo cask strength. Dang! 565%, bottle 6394 out of 6642, bottled in 2007. And interestingly it is in a 750ml bottle. And by the gods I liked it. The nose is even more peaty and a lot warmer the the 16yo. Flavorwise. Surprising Old Malt Cask.

Updated Hut Maintenance Figures. 30 June, 2015. When back-country hut fees increased several years ago, I wrote with some disappointment about how I saw hut fees as being the price of being honest. I still think that, but it’s not something up for negotiation right now. Lately, in April we had a forum conversation on the NZ Tramper website.
