Very nice, this is the one that a lucky few got samples of? If I hadn't sworn to not buy whisky for a while i'd be all over it!
£65 is a very fair price for its age and cask strength, especially considering only 300 bottles. Good to see they haven't slapped something silly like £150 on it, fair play. _________________ In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king |

I got an email, just hoping there are some left when i get home this evening as i left my bank cards at home today
I told a whisky drinking mate at work about it and he just registered and tried to buy it but was unable to, he got the message:
Quote: | We're sorry for any disappointment, but this expression is only available to Warehouse 24 Members that registered before 11.59pm 12/02/2012. |
I suppose this will stop the last minute profiteers and it will only go to geniune Warehouse 24 members. |

Agree the date thing is a good move. Although at the moment it is letting me go through the procces and buy another (i didnt just wanted to see), not so good _________________ Putting the func in dysfunctional. |

Shouldnt matter you can change the delivery address at the checkout if you want a bottle, i did notice that so you can send it to a different address! |

When i clicked on update details they appear to update ok but when i login again it shows my old address, i was just worried if i changed the details on the order form the system would do the same and revert back to my old address so i gave up as i couldnt be bothered with the hassle. |

No email for me but i have ordered a bottle, a no brainer really, by all accounts it is a decent whisky, from just 2 casks and limited to only 300 bottles, exclusive to Balvenie 24 members in the UK and the first Balvenie Warehouse 24 bottling to be released which i am sure will become very collectable and sought after. |

I would surprised if they get away with bottling there own whisky samples and selling them on ebay for very long. |

I only got a payment confirmation from world pay, do the Balvenie send out any confirmation that my order was successful? Anyone know? |

Well looks like they have been getting away with it since the turn of the year.
I only got world pay confirmation also.
