Message: [QUOTE="storrsroars, post: 3783271, member: 2500"] On my way there I had it down to two bottles, that was one, the other was the Lannister 9 yo Lagavulin, both supposedly available in store according to the PLCB site. Both were sold out. It was thin pickings for any Islay. After considering both the Coffey Grain and the Coffey Malt, I went with neither and splurged for the $80 Taketsuru Pure Malt. Sipping it now. Not a direct hit in my wheelhouse, but a lot going on that's offering different notes with each sip. Very pleasant. Not sure I'd buy again at $80 if there's Islay in stock, but not regretting this purchase like I did the Kavalan Select. One positive about the PLCB is their Chairman Selection wines. They do a nice job there picking up truckloads of decent wines and selling at very competitive prices. So I picked up 15 bottles of that too, lol. Since you like Albarinos, I got a couple bottles of Albanta at $14 a pop (usually $18-$22). [/QUOTE]
