| Just to add to William's comprehensive list, Glenfarclas 25 is now just under £100 on Amazon. Probably the last truly affordably 25 year-old on the market. |

| Thanks William, a got BBR Islay Blend last night and they offered a further 10% discount for subscribing to a 6 monthly delivery which can be cancelled meaning it only cost £20.02! I read comment on a review that the Islay is a Caol Ila with peated Bunna. Serge recently gave it an 87. |

I grabbed a bottle when it was £49, not arrived yet but I am happy to give it a go at this price, it has good reviews on Amazon, bottled at 44% and I have enjoyed Jura 16 and 21 in the past so worth a try I think. |

Amazon seem to have a couple of exclusives from Berry Bros. & Rudd - single casks from Blair Athol and Glen Moray, both 11 years old. The Glen Moray is bottled at 46% and the Blair Athol at cask strength, which at £37.99 strikes me as an amazing deal - not sure where else you can find cask strength malt of that age at that price.

But it’s Blair Athol and to me, just tastes like Bells which is its main component. |

I've had good Blair Athols, there was a recent 10 year-old from James Eadie that was very good indeed. At that price I'm definitely taking a punt on the BB&R one from Amazon. |

Delighted with the Bunnahabhain 12 at £30 the other week but it's nearly gone 
How does the Stiureadair compare to it? Might be a while before the 12 comes back at £30. |

A nice sherried fruitcake side to it, I prefer the 12 year old personally if given the choice, but the Stiureadair is not too far behind it in quality. |
