Just killed my last bottle of Blandy’s Malmsey 50yo blend. Love this bottling, so pissed they no longer produce it.

Henriques & Henriques NV Moscatel Velhissimo
Very impressive; I can't help but smile after each sip
Probably the best Moscatel I’ve tasted up to now.

2005 Faja dos Padres Malvasia, cask sample bottled May 10th 2019.
Still have some left. Shared with Glenn, Lisa and Vic on New Years night. Very good, but needs much more wood aging. A bit light and a bit drier than I typically find Faja's Malvasia bottlings, even from cask. But this was really very solid given it easily could have been mistaken for a Boal.

1853 Lomelino "Old Malmsey" Madeira Solera
The label says Tarquinio T., but Old Liquors in Miami says Pedro J. My bottle's label was in much rougher shape than the one shown at Old Liquors, but the contents were pretty fabulous. I saved about 40% of the bottle to drink slowly, a half an ounce at a time, over the next decade or so.
