I got a 20 year old port matured a couple of years ago up there for bang on £100 and it was worth every single penny. Not my pic just a release one. Yet to buy as working up in Orkney but will once home as I dont stay too far from Deanston. Its 150 quid but I have to have it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Anyway been having a massive clear out of my empty bottles and cataloguing them, threw away over 30 and just counted over 80 still left.. Just have nowhere to put them. I've pulled out 10 of them down to the last quarter of the bottle or less and getting them biffed. I've definitely bought less than 10 this year so the rest of them have been accumulated in the last 3 years. Could have saved a fortune to buy a bigger house to keep the fucking things in if I wasn't a rocket. A toast to the fallen legion with some Glenfarclas 25, soon to join them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in much the same boat. Used to try and leave quarter/fifth of each bottle but now just making my way through them and relenting against opening any new ones. Was looking for a decent small cask to put the dregs and meh ones in to but have given up as I work away for weeks at a time so if there was even a wee leak it would most likely empty and I would be a sobbing mess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do a “break even malt” that’s a bit rarer/pricier but sold at cost price and changes every month I think (or maybe when it runs out). Had a Linkwood 25 year old (pretty good) today. Arran 21 Lochranza Castle is the current one on offer. Delicious and great value at £4 a dram. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually a good idea, I should stick the dregs in an infinity bottle. Space saver and might even end up being good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) Just discovered that my favourite whisky glass/tumbler of choice, which I have used in preference to a heap of Glencairns and others, used to be a candle holder. FFS The all new Yankee F***ing Candle Whisky Glass Eta: pretty chuffed that the new Brechin shirt sponsor is a malt whisky distillery (Glencadam, located behind the hedge). Yassss.

invergowrie arab Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I started a couple of infinity bottles tonight. We shall see. Both starting off about 50% tesco Speyside and 20% craigellachie. One topped up with Edradour Caledonia and Highland Park Harald the other Dalwhinnie winter gold and a drop of very young single cask Caol Ila. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Just been given a bottle of Glenfiddich IPA Cask. Anyone familiar with it?It’s okay. Got one on the go now. Underwhelmed at first, but it’s actually a reasonably tasteful dram. The hops taste isn’t very deep, but it’s definitely there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peedzy Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I keep seeing Bowmore 15 reduced at £39.99 on Amazon. I'm put off by the fact that the Bowmore 12 I had was meh at best. Any thoughts? the 15 is advertised as finished 3 years in sherry casks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peedzy Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 They've also got Aberlour Casg Annamh on offer at £39 for anyone interested. I've got a bottle of that on the go, decent dram at that price. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That used to be one of my go to favourites but I don’t think Bowmore is as good as it once was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D TOTAL Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I have ordered edradour , arrived this morning , smells totally different to a usual malt , also has a nice burn coming down the throat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't say 'the darkest' on the bottle or box any more, but here's the spiel from the product description Our 15 Years Old 'Darkest' is delicious on its own but to really bring out its rich fruitiness and that trademark Bowmore smokiness, enjoy it with some rich dark chocolate. See how the whisky's dark fruit and smoky aromas, its cedar wood and treacle toffee flavours and the cocoa-rich dark chocolate complement each other perfectly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
