Hi Keith. That sounds like a really great show. Have fun. The Springbank 30 Millennium would suit my fancy along with Glenmorangie Pride 1978 and Auchentoshan 1966. Stellar stuff I would like to try sometime.

Just returned from the show a great event it is my fourth year and gets better every time, well worth it if you can get there, the Sunday is the less busy of the two days not that Saturday was very busy but Sunday was more comfortable, highlight of the weekend was after the show Saturday night and joining other whisky fans back at the hotel and drinking their whisky until the early hours a great bunch of people and shows what the whisky family is all about.
Slainte everyone.

Sounds like great fun. I would love going to a show like that but being across the pond makes it very difficult. What was one or two of your very favorite drams on the weekend?
