Pff. I mean, I'm obvs happy to see a distillery thrive, but if by "updating their core range", aka screwing us, a distillery consistently makes more money, well... we can only get more screwed.

Frankly in my opinion of all these excuses to raise prices - because that's what they are - only Glenrothes has made sense and has pushed out something of decent quality. But even then, Signatory Glenrothes are still consistently better (they're kind of my guilty pleasure).

It's a shame to see all this plotting and scheming work and having to consistently rely on indies and auctions to try interesting stuff. Not that the indies aren't upping their prices...

No different from most of the other distilleries out there regards prices and the way they are going. There travel retail range did need updating and is a vast improvement and isn't too badly priced.
