Diageo has unveiled its Special Releases 2020 line-up, this years highlights includes a Pittyvaich expression from the now long closed Speyside ghost distillery, a rare Dalwhinnie matured in refill hogshead casks filled in 1989, a unique young Talisker which has been finished in pot-still Caribbean rum casks and the Special Release stalwart Lagavulin 12 year old.

The Talisker is tempting given its price even though not cheap for an 8 year old, I would guess there will be plenty to go around as they haven't revealed bottle numbers so perhaps I will wait for some reviews and let someone else pay to find out if it is good or not Twisted Evil Smile

The Cragganmore 20 is also tempting.

Also tempted by this too, mainly because I want to see what Cardhu is like when it's not compromised by low ABV, caramel colouring and the like. But then I'm not sure I want to overpay for a Cardhu just to see what it's like. Decisions...

Talisker for me. I’ve somehow got a host of them from 2005 onwards which isn’t a bad thing.

Cragganmore 20 is not a bad price but the Mortlach is a disgrace
