For #FensterFreitag here's one of several window-based murals you can find in Invergordon, Scotland. There's a mural trail in the town and I managed to find quite a few of the street art pieces during a short visit there in 2024.

I recently had several months worth of auction lots shipped, and last night I finally had time to open them. It has, unfortunately, been a crazy couple of months.

This is the first batch.

First up are five Ardbeg bottlings - the original 17 year (not the recent re-release), Traigh Bhan release 02, the Twenty One, Twenty Something 22yr, and Twenty Something 23yr.

A run of nice Single Grain bottlings from Clan Denny - 1997 20yr Invergordon, 1998 25yr Cambus, 1974 35yr North of Scotland, 1975 36yr Cambus, 1965 45yr Dumbarton, 1965 45yr Girvan, 1965 45yr Caledonian, and 1963 48yr Cambus.

And a 2006 bottling of Compass Box Hedonism. That's one I was missing from the lineup.

But wait, there's more!

I managed to pick up WhistlePig The Encyclopedia of Rye - Volume 2 for a fantastic price.

Volume 2? What about Volume 1? I had that too, for a similarly fantastic price, until I got sniped. That's how I learned the hard way that Whisky Auctioneer ends their auctions at midnight, even if bids are still being made.

They have sniping protection that is supposed to extend the auction a few minutes every time a new bid comes in, but there is an undocumented hard stop. I got outbid less than a minute to midnight and was in the process of upping my bid when the auction ended. I suspect the winner knew about this loophole, which I've since confirmed.

So now I'm still hunting for vol.1. I've seen it on sale in the US, but for stupid high prices.

Anyway... Then there were some random bottles. Starting off with a couple of different bottlings of the Mortlach 16 Flora & Fauna. Due to a misunderstanding, I picked up a few of these. I now have three, so I'll probably send a couple on to auction myself.

I also picked up several grain whiskies. I love those and they're often overlooked. The North British 1980 Cask Strength was originally only available to employees of the distillery. I'm not sure the age on this one.

Another North British, this one 30 years, a Caidenhead Single Cask 43 year Invergordon and a Forgotten Gems 30 year Invergordon.
