Hello all,

I recently scored a whole load of miniatures off a local sales group on facebook.

I chucked all the dodgy looking stuff but am left with quite a haul of mini whiskys. Enough in fact for one a day till christmas.

I was hoping i could post a photo of them and maybe someone could advise me which one i should be saving for christmas morning ( or hogmanay )

If i figure out how to get a photo up i will, other wise I will list them all out.

Cheers all

Good haul! My personal favourite out of those is the Glenfiddich 15 Solera. Have never tried the Glen Keith.

The Old St. Andrews set looks interesting, 2 malts and a blended scotch. Looks an older set. What is the holder supposed to be; can't tell from photo, golf related??Can't locate the same set so far on internet search.

Of course, the Glenfiddich 18 is always a good one for drinking,

I am starting with what i am sure are the least impressive, and well the far left m&s kenmore i tried yesterday was pretty horrible. It tasted like flowers or air freshener. Next to it is/was single highland malt again from m&s which was quite pleasant if not remarkable.

in the blue box on the far left is another m&s kenmore but the bottle is in the shape of a sports car. I might give it my 14 year old son and put him off strong drink till he's older !! ha ha

the one in little barrels look a bit novelty so they will be drunk after the m&s then its on the those packaged in tubes....
