Whisky Forum - Whisky Santa

Okay it's premature but I've got the kids stuff out as well as ours and I'm staring at a bottle of whisky. I know I can't get away with opening it, gutted. It's from Whisky Santa.

I know I have this bottle as I bought it, but there's a distinct whisky shaped wrapped parcel in my pile so I know the missus has been sneaky, which is odd as she doesn't buy online so I have no idea what it is or where it's from.

......so this is a placeholder thread for tomorrow. I imagine there's going to be a lot of new bottles tomorrow so best to keep us salivating in 1 place.

And I don't want to see any of you opening early!!

Post what you get here.

I'm gutted. Not only will my daughter believe that all her presents have come from Santa, a quick scout round the tree shows no bottle shaped presents. If I had a violin it would be played loudly all night. Hope you guys get more luck than me!

Merry Christmas all.

Got the Balblair 1990 2nd release that I bought myself.....

Also got a Hibiki 21 from the missus, how she managed to get hold of one of these I have no idea and I know she's not going to tell me.

Hope you all got what you asked for.

The big present from my wife was a Glengoyne 25 which was a total surprise, already had a wee pour and it is superb but no more until tonight as we are going out to my brothers for Christmas dinner, Merry Christmas.

I got a bottle of strathisla 12 and a Â£50 voucher to put towards another bottle. Better than a kick in the face.

Not altogether a surprise, but I was given a bottle of Benromach 10 100 degrees proof - really looking forward to this one, already a big fan of the regular Benromach 10.

Also (and this one was a surprise), Balvenie 12 Single Barrel. That Glenfarclas 15 sounds amazing by the way!

Highland Park 25 which was a fantastic surprise
