Thought I seen an article saying they were selling it by the dram, but berry bros are Selling it by the bottle?

The summer 2008 bottling (now sold out at BBR) is distinct from the single cask 68 bottling which is being sold by the dram in whisky bars in Scotland.

Did anyone manage to get a bottle from Luvians yesterday? I was on the website as soon as it was announced on Twitter, but it was no use!

Any other retailers selling this? Master of Malt/Royal Mile Whiskies etc?

I tried the Whisky-online shop today, but no luck. the site went down for 30 minutes, only came up when stock was sold Rolling Eyes

I ordered a bottle on the BBR website on Tuesday and yesterday I got an email saying they were over subscribed and my order was cancelled.
Not a good way to treat customers BBR.

Another flippers bottle, really starting to dislike the immediate association to buy this stuff to sell for profit even my friends who know little about whisky have heard they should buy this to make profit. I'm less interested with each relesse.

Doubt many have tasted Daftmill as most likely bought to flip or invest. I had also read this being only sold in bars so was also surprised to see public sale... it's PR to say only in bars but then fuel the flipping by selling other bottles to market unannounced, creating want and desire for a quick buck.

I'll need to try this for Â£10. Do we know how many bottles made it to the bar and how many sold at retail?

There were 1760 total from 6 casks. The bottles sent to the bars are from cask #65, the rest went to retail. So approx 290 bottles across a handful of bars - around 8-10 cases each although i imagine some will have been held back. But you'll be pleased to know I've cracked open a bottle already!

I read online that BBR were offering folk who had their purchases accepted by their system then cancelled afterwards are being offered the chance to purchase the next Daftmill release in 2020 by being "first in line" as a gesture of goodwill.

I wonder if this was this the case for all folk or just a select few.

I asked Just whisky a while back if they would take bottles after the deadline for entry and was told as long as they had enough time to process the bottles for the start of an auction they would take them.
