Bold Rover Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Just discovered this thread, so forgive me if this has been previously covered. I recently partook of the Royal Mile "Whisky Experience." Thepatter was shite but the whiskies interesting. Star of the show: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tout P'ti FC Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Visited Kilchoman today where by chance they were launching their new 12yo. Can't believe Kilchoman is 12, I remember it's first steps. Not the baby on Islay now either with the new one opening last week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 That's the last of my Highland Park Viking Honour gone. Got it as a birthday present just last month and and as far as quality : price ratios go, I'd argue it's one of the best. Absolutely perfect neat, not even a single drop needed. Downside is that I have just a half-full Spey Tenne (port cask) left in the cupboard now... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Snaffling limited releases to sell later is for arseholes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperDee Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Actually just clocked that Amazon are selling the 18 y/o Caol Ila for £75, which is a decent saving. Getting that instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a bottle of Highland Park Viking Scars and it was pretty good for ten year old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a bottle of Highland Park Viking Scars and it was pretty good for ten year old. Pretty much, aye. I initially presumed it was a blended malt punting off some production on special offer everywhere, but seems they rebranded in 2017 with the 12yo becoming Viking Honour. A few folk saying it's not as good as the original 12yo, and I'd be inclined to agree. Still, it's a very decent malt for £25. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called being clever and making easy money. What do you think happens to these bottles when people buy them, do you think people buy them to drink? I can guarantee you the locals of Islay will be the ones "snaffling" most of these bottles to sell at a later date. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, it's a collectable and people all across the world want them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
