Thanks, William. I've just made the first offer there.

Peter.

Ha! Well, you know - someone had to... Very Happy


Seriously though, the main reason I don't want to post is, say the package gets lost at some stage of the delivery, or is delayed - I don't want to start doubting the integrity of forum members here for no reason.

I'm happy to meet people in London though if time permits.

You make a fair point, let's hope that doesn't happen.

I thought I had already left a reply in this thread, but I can't see it, so... Maybe posting links is frowned upon, so I'll just say: Google "ScotchSwap" and you will find an existing community of swappers. I have successfully completed 31 swaps so far and am waiting for the reciprocal package in my 32nd.

I wish you all luck.. and hopefully every one will play fair and everyone ends up with a smile.. who knows I might even join in myself at some point.. Although I might just offer 3 mystery samples and see if anyone is willing to accommodate 🤔🙈

Thanks. I'm looking forward to trying a couple of new ones towards the weekend.

Quite. To be honest, though, I'm more concerned about possible loss or damage in transit. The sample bottles that I received today from Amazon came with copious amounts of bubble wrap that'll get reused!

I'd accommodate that mate 😀 Are there any guidelines or is it a case of anything goes?

Might have to open some new ones as you will know what's on my open bottle list 😜

I'd definitely be up for this. Already have something similar running with some friends. Always up for expanding my whisky horizons!

More samples posted today (on the right service this time, lesson learnt) and confirmation that the package I sent to bluepeter has been delivered and all is good so far Laughing

Are there any particular sample bottles that experienced folks recommend?

I'm a relative beginner as well, so not sure I have too much to raise real excitement just now, but I'd be interested in taking part. Really wanting to expand my horizons.

All definitely good from my POV. I'm looking forward to tasting the whiskies that I received this morning.

And the Royal Mail Track and Trace says that the package I sent to jwbassman has also been delivered Smile

I bought some of these: http://tinyurl.com/zpd9qws . Amazon sell them in various quantities, so pick the pack size that looks best for you. The ones I received this morning from jwbassman were in identical bottles, so I'm clearly not the only person using them Smile

I'm also a beginner, and would be happy to swap with you if you have any that I haven't already tried (likely!). Please see the lists already posted in the sample exchange section of the forum, and add your own. Mine's there: you're free to browse and PM me if there's anything you fancy.
