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 ... |

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 ... |
