LAPHROAIG 1999 54.9% Cask 4199, £39.95

There's a little clutch of smaller distilleries owned by smaller companies which seem to follow a pattern: good value, consitently high quality bottlings without massive volume. What do you know, they've all arrived on our doorstep at the same time.

I was just reading in Whisky News about the new releases from Glendronach and Benriach

Not had the pleasure of any of them yet but as you say JAB they do seem to offer good value.

They are all also available over at The Whisky Exchange

I just had a look at the Bunna web site also and cant see it mentioned, i think it will be like most whisky web sites it will be slow to be updated, thats why sites like this are the place to find the latest whisky news. It will be interesting to to try the new 46.3% Bunna.
