Nothing for me, sadly - prescription drugs won't allow it Sad

Will open my new bottle of Glenlivet 18 when I come off them.

I meant to try the Glasgow Whisky Festival bottling at the festival but didnt get around to it. I guess it didnt all sell out then.

There are a few left at Tams!

It was not Advertised very well so alot of people did not know about it!

Well worth popping into tams drams he might have a bottle open to sample before you buy!

I knew about it but there was so many stalls i didnt make it to the stall with the GWF bottling. I would have given it a go on the day but to be honest if i was going for a HP bottling i would go for the Highland Park 18 which i think is excellent and Â£56 at The Whisky Exchange at the moment.

Well i would recomend it highly if you can get the chance of sampling it!

As for the 18 i have not tried it yet!

John I can highly recommend the Highland Park 18, it is amongst the best standard bottlings at this age and price from any distillery and a must try whisky.
