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.

Have to admit i was a bit peeved when i didnt get a sample Evil or Very Mad. For some reason my details were not on the system so reregistered to make sure i got the email, no email today Evil or Very Mad .

Who all got an email that are members of warehouse 24?

Did buy in the end and will open the bottle when i get it.

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 Rolling Eyes

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 Rolling Eyes

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 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.
