philpy Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 None of them are getting opened anytime soon. The Speyburn was a gift from my close friend who had it handed down from a family member. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wanting to be a dick but a Speyburn 10 yo is an MoR whisky readily available in supermarkets for under 30 quid. Its like being reverent towards a packet of kitkats. Drink it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it from Aldi, its quite decent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it's up to you, but that's a bit of a bizarre way to go about it IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie adie Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Costco with the singleton Speyside cascade less than £22. Priced at £35 in tesco. Surely has to be worth a punt at that money 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenmorangie is overpriced for what it is and certainly wouldn't try glenalba in a pub as it is likely £50-60 a bottle retail lol but bet it tastes sweet as, hide that one from the mates. Late night nice sunsets a wee treat i would think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have the Tailfire, it's the better of the two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordered a couple of new ones today. Glenfarclas 105 which I've been dying to try, Port Charlotte Islay Barley and Laphroiag 10 - not to try just to have a bottle in the house, don't really have many peat monsters lying about and it's good for a change of pace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Not had it for a good few years, but I remember the Longrow CV being a fantastic dram. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Does anyone know if there are any sites I could use to price selling a bottle that I have. I used to check thewhiskyexchange.com to at least get an idea of what they sell it for, problem is that they're now out of it and have been for a year or so. The last price it was selling at was around £200 I wouldn't expect that for it, if I'm honest I'm not looking to sell it right now anyway but would just like a rough worth for it. I got a good few bottles from my uncle who lived up north, he used to get them at about £15 a bottle. As far as i know Macallan were planing on changing the bottle style, people kept lifting them by the cork and with a heavy glass bottom this ment people constantly dropping them. In the end they just decided to discontinue it rather than go through with this. I've got 2 bottles left that I plan on keeping and hopefully making a few quid on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a kind of love/hate situation with anyone that I know who tried it, I have a sweet tooth and loved it but if you left the glass sitting over night your house would smell sickly sweet for days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried both of these again. They are lovely but you can tell* that there has been quite young spirit added to them. I'll enjoy finishing the bottles but I won't buy either again. I think I'd just get the Glenlivet or Talisker 12yo. *I'm guessing. Edited May 17, 2017 by Ziggy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the Laphroaig and the Port Charlotte today. If you see this stuff and haven't already tried it, do yourself a favour. Magic. Will buy again. Bit dear cost me £46 for this one but I think you get what you pay for here. Edit to add 50% abv, good move bottling at that strength. It's very bold and not just overly peaty. Won't bore you with an in depth analysis but I can see this being a favourite. Edited May 18, 2017 by GiGi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
