Ask for airport-specific edition - at CPH airport you could get a cask strength Highland Park 14 for like 50 quid.
And ask for special discounts not on the website, they tend to have stuff stashed ... |

Lately auction prices have been going down. You can buy a fair amount of stuff now at better prices - especially after Brexit and as some auction houses have split EU / UK bottlings. You can easily ge ... |

Interesting to note the Lagavulin is *not* its usual prompt sell out - mix of price and age not appealing?
I think they're just not enough flippable to justify bulk-buy. The margin isn't gonna be t ... |

I got some good deals from SWA last auction. Brexit seems to have done a good job at slowing down the auction nonsense.
One can only hope prices will keep decreasing over time, who knows what'll h ... |

Same really like Benromach as well. Havent had it in a while, but remember it being really heavy on the peat also, even tho it is described as subtle on most reviews/ tasting notes.
Everything is s ... |

For that matter, most whisky can be used as disinfectant - it doesn't have to smell like one, too :D |

I've tried a sample yesterday night. It does what is says on the tin really, enveloping your Laph around a syrupy, fruity and chocolatey layer.
In my very personal opinion it also mellows the in-y ... |

Whiskybase market is also an option. They charge an 8% on bottle price, if I recall correctly.
I agree with webdunk that the right selling place might be different depending on the bottle(s) - and ... |

For contrast, Wemyss have released a 28 year Bunna for £150
An unpeated one, of all things, which I've happily bought and I'm looking forward to taste.
As for Ardbeg, from a business perspec ... |

I'd throw in the mix the Compass Box Artist Blend (£25 or so I think) as well as the peated Great King Street (28 discounted, otherwise above 30).
I find these 2 blends to be miles ahead of the ... |

I think it depends, like someone else mentioned, on what's the % of non-UK auction purchases. And even more so EU vs US vs Asia.
Hopefully whisky prices will come down all across the board, not jus ... |

110 quid for 15 years old is hella steep, but I got a bottle of Tali 15. I’ll try and get a sample somewhere before committing, I can always return it after all. |

This is a flipper dream isn't it? It'll take a while to collect them all, but that's an easy 3-digits profit in 5-10 years time.
Distilleries know it and yet they keep releasing this stuff. |
