V.Aye.R Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Very seldom you see that level of discounting in the UK but there's an occasional win to be had at small Tesco's etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Patterson Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 (edited) Another last minute jaunt to the Wee Toon. Drove over last night and kipped in the motor just north of Machrihanish. Staying in the bunkhouse tonight. Glen Scotia aren't doing full distillery tours currently due to renovation work but did a warehouse tour. Got to try their new make. The standard had an oddly pleasant Weetabix thing and heavily peated had TCP but sherbety. Also tried the double cask which is their biggest seller. Big fan of the GS15 and Victoriana. This was a gentler sort of thing but nice all the same. Probably a good introduction to Campbeltown which isn't full on oily funk. Had a dram of a special 7yo Bordeaux cask in the shop after. Bit drier but lovely stuff. Got Glengyle later this afternoon so will report back. Edited August 20 by Derek Patterson 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.Aye.R Posted Saturday at 22:50 Share Posted Saturday at 22:50 Became an uncle this week so phoned up Tomatin to get a distillery bottling filled on the same day, they couldn't be more helpful. A wee tradition I've started with my own kids and Tomatin bottle your own, try and either get a photo at the distillery or just after with the wee ones and the bottle. Have a Virgin Oak, Bourbon and PX casks already. Went for the Oloroso this time. To be opened in 18 years 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
