|
|
At £160 (roughly £53 a bottle) is this worth getting for some Christmas sherried goodness or look elsewhere for better value?
Thanks in advance for the advice folks.

They do sound good on paper and a ggod price for 3 single cask whiskies, SMWS 35 is Glen Moray, 1 is Glenfarclas and 115 is Knockdhu (An Cnoc) Distillery so if you like these distilleries then go for it. |

Having little experience with SMWS. Do they tend to stick to bourbon and sherry cask finishes? |

They tend to be more full term maturation in a single cask AFAIK |

Thanks all. I ended up buying them. I haven't tried any yet though. I have too many other bottles I need to get through first! |
