Speakeasy Acquisitions - December 08

What did you score this Holiday Season?
Got a 12" stainless frypan (or is it a sauté? I'm new)... My first stainless cookware.
It's a little stickier than my cast iron (which has been seasoned by who-knows-how-many-years of use by my great-grandmother).

A new roll-on bag for my trip to San Francisco this weekend. 
A Tag Heuer Aquaracer.
Had a bad day and a yearning for some Scotch (I blame the Speakeasy for that 
). Picked up a bottle of Glenmorangie Nectar d'Or. Delicious stuff, probably the best whiskey I've had.

Funny thing is, there are malts that we get here which are significantly cheaper than there.

It's normally £37 if that makes you feel better

Well... You guys talked me into it.
How can you resist after reading the description:
The Nectar D' Or - Sauternes Cask Extra Matured:
The Bordeaux vineyards of the south western France lend their GRAND HERITAGE to Nectar D' Or through Glenmorangie's use of Sauterne wine barriques to 'finish' The Original single malt whiskey. INFUSED with the signature honey, citrus and spice aroma of the Sauternes dessert wine that lingers in the wooden casks, the result is a whisky of exquisite SOPHISTICATION and COMPLEXITY. The resultant elixir takes on the pale, lemony, gold transparency and honeyed taste that inspired its name.
Heck, I may even use some as an aftershave.

Drove up to Manchester with SWMBO to do some Christmas shopping
Fortunately part of the trip involved renewing my membership at Costco
My longing glance at some Lagavulin 16 was met with a raised eyebrow
The Bollinger Grande Annee 1999 complete with two Riedel flutes also never got off the starting blocks
Some Dry Aged Extra Matured Aberdeen Angus Rump steaks gained admission to the trolley
Had some consolation for the Lagavulin and Bolly in the wine section:
I normally pickup some Peter Lehmann The Futures Barossa Shiraz
This had been replaced by:
Peter Lehmann Mudflat Ebenezer Shiraz 2004
Also bought
Jim Barry The Cover Drive Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2006
Kirkland Signature Napa Valley Meritage Master Cask Series III 2005
Vasse Felix Margaret River Chardonnay 2007
Christophe Cordier Pouilly Fuisse Vieilles Vignes 2007

Richie,
The Glencairn glass is a good one, I have a Glenmorangie version and bought one from The Wine Shop, Leek (Home of The Queen of the Moorlands Whisky Company) for my father in law
