Not a bad price for Family Cask bottle. I never tried it but heard only good things about it.

You should call Mike or Vicky at the shop and they will tell you more about the bottle. Mike is a great guy and I rely on his opinion for malts I can't try.

Humm that's what I was thinking the price is good. I was sort of shocked when I saw it.

It's either that on the New Glendronach 1990 Batch 12. I'll give them a call.

It's a tough one between Glenfarclas FC and Glendronach Single Cask bottlings.
My money is always on Glendronach SC but I'm biased as they are my favourite single malts.

Just to let chaps know, The Whisky Shop Dufftown have now dropped it down to £179 from £199 - I ordered up a bottle for Christmas. A Family Cask from 1991 at that price, you really cant go wrong!

I was hoping that they will discount it for more than just 10%. Wink
They have action right now with 25% discounts for some really nice bottles.

I know what you mean! I tweeted them on Black Friday asking for a deal on it. No luck but that came on a week later.

How comes sorren

I visited the shop in June, the person serving couldn't lift his head up from whatever he was doing, even when I said hello and when I asked a question I was just blanked.. I think it's called customer service ..
