<div>Hi Ken.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> The Glenhaven Fettercairn reminds me of orange peel/orange marmalade, and I was quite fond of it. I remeber the 'Farclas being quite good as well....</div>

<div>Greetings all.</div>
<div>I stopped into a liquor store today that I hadn't been in for a year or so. Last time I had been there, they carried over 200 single malts, including a very nice selection of independent, single cask stuff. Got there today to find they've had a change of ownership and the new owners only want to sell what they can move at a higher volume, so they've dropped the SM inventory down to about 80 at this point. Bad news that, but with a potential silver lining in that cloud. They have a few rare bottlings from days past that they apparently don't want cluttering their shelves that seem to be decent values. I don't have personal experience with any of these, but was wondering if anyone has any recollections or comments on the following. I'm including their prices (US $$), and any opinions as to whether they are, in fact, a good value would be greatly appreciated. Here goes:</div>
<div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Adelphi Aberfeldy, 15 y.o., cask # 343, 59.6% - $46</div>
<div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Adelphi Benriach, 11 y.o., cask # 2838, 63.5% - $50</div>
<div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Adelphi Clynelish, 10 y.o., cask # 6079, 61.5%, $46</div>
<div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Glenhaven Glenfarclas, 17 y.o., Oct. ’77-Oct.’94, 53.2% - $88</div>
<div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Glenhaven Dufftown-Glenlivet, 11 y.o., Nov. ’82-Oct. ’94, 60% - $77</div>
<div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Glenhaven Fettercairn, 10 y.o., Nov. ’85-June ’96, 63% - $77</div>
<div>They also had The Wild Scotsman 15 y.o. vatted malt at $40, and although I think I tried it at a past WhiskyFest I have no recollection of the experience (got there after visiting too many other tables), so impressions of it are welcome as well. I would like to support my undoubtedly distant clansman John McDougall, particularly if he leaves me in his single malt will (you out there, John??).</div>
<div>Thanks for any help you can provide.</div>
<div>Ken MacDougall</div>
