I got 28. I got a few more in my head but trying to spell them right was the hard part.

Nice! I got 54, and I challenge anyone to beat that! Razz Looking at the stats I was surprised only 8% of people guessed Tomintoul, it was one of my first guesses.

Boy, you guys really know your stuff. When I'm more relaxed I'll try it again. It's a great distillery quiz particularly since it is timed and gives immediate feedback.
Very Happy

Well, I tried the quiz again late tonight. I did much better, 40 distilleries from memory. They should have one for independent bottlings as well. Very Happy

Excellent I liked this.

Though I only got 33, spelling was responsible for at least another dozen though.

49. However I was kicking myself afterwards when the rest were revealed. Some I tried weren't listed, such as Kilchoman, Mannochmore and Glengyle for example.!

I had something of the same problem too, bifter, some distillery names not accepted. Also, I was typing silent or closed distilleries which weren't accepted for the quiz. Since silent distilleries produced some great bottles, I for one, really focus on such drams, the names of those distilleries imprinted on my mind as well. Smile
