If you have the pocket depth for it then the Octomore releases are outstanding. Need a fair share of water to tone it down a bit but certainly worth it with the depth of flavour. I can’t say th ... |

Just wondering if anybody has been to this in previous years? I’m going with a group on the 15th but unsure what the setup is. I was led to believe that you could pay a certain amount dependent ... |

Just an update on this.
I've emailed round several whisky shops/independent bottlers with no joy. It generally seems to be that if any dates are kept it is usually just the month and not the specif ... |

Does anybody have any dates for the release? Tried my local Lidls today and no sign. Either I’m premature or late to the party! |

Your best bet I’d say would be independent bottlers. I scoured shops for ages when my first was born and eventually found one with the correct date in the Gordon & Macphail range. I donâ₠... |

Have been past Glen Moray twice in the past week to ask about bottling my own. Unfortunately they’ve run out of labels and don’t seem to know when they’ll be getting them in again ... |

Thanks to all!
Glen Moray isn’t too far away from me right enough, but I’ve found some of their offerings to be a bit unspectacular. However I’m happy to have a look at anything ... |

Congratulations. I’m doing the exact same as I’ve also just welcomed a son into the world born on the 30th at 11:18am.
Have you got any distillery nearby that you can hand fill a bott ... |

I’ve just welcomed my first son in to the world and I thought it might be a great idea to buy a fine bottle of malt now for us to both enjoy when he turns 18 (although I’m not naive enou ... |

I tried blending together Laphroaig 10 and Auchentoshan American Oak a while back. About 3:1 ratio in favour of the Auchentoshan. It really worked quite well I thought. It’s your whisky at the ... |

I've never been a massive Macallan fan. Good whisky, but i couldn't pick it out from a line up of Glenfarclas, Glendronach etc.
Seems these days the only ones crowing about Macallan are the toffs wh ... |
