SMWS bottling 29.118 "Surprise!" by Laphroaig. 16yo & 121pf.

It may have been addressed before but I'm curious... do you think SMWSA is worth it? I'm afraid of paying the membership and then when a bottle comes up that I want, it won't be available because there are so few bottles compared to members. Plus, I'm not sure how many different bottles come to the membership each year. Effectively you have to buy an option on whisky - which I'm not adverse to, I just hear mixed views on the value of that option compared to its cost.

Part of the appeal, I suppose, is that once you've made it through the bulk of the standard bottlings, these one offs are a fun way to try a different take on an old favorite.

Fuck yeah it's worth it to me. I'm a crazy drunk scotch whore. Never had an availability problem. 10 new bottles come out every month, mostly speysides and islays. You like those? PROFIT! You're not buying options. You get your bottles in < 1 week, shipped from Maspeth, NY.

Flavors are deeper, more complex and higher prrof at same time than store-bought stuff from the same distilleries.

edit: it's not cigars - takes MONTHS to sell all bottles of a popular release. Bought maybe 15 bottles so far.

It's Australia Day! It's also my 6th wedding anniversary today, and my wife got me this

So that's on the cards, as well as a rye beer from a local brewery.
Cheers brothers!
STRAYA!!!

Good feedback... my biggest concern was availability but sounds like that isn't an issue...

Happy anniversary! Solid choice there! Once you get over the first whiff of lighter fluid it's smooth sailing!

I picked up a bottle of that & still regret the purchase. The nose is like an electrical fire with rubber tossed in.
