8MileBU Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 40 notes for Old Pulteney? Where the f**k were you shopping? It was in the shop at the top of Cairngorm mountain. Basically everything they sell has the best part of a tenner added on compared to elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had waited until you got back down to Aviemore you would have got a better selection in Tesco. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gannonball Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Currently 16 year old waitrose single malt tonight. Pisses all over the shitey tomintoul one. More shocked that my dad has waitrose stuff as hes usually a scaff like me and shops at Lidl. Im guessing this was a gift. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gannonball Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Now tapping some Deanston 12. Its probably the best 12 year old i have tried. It really is fantastic stuff. I've done the tour there and its quite interesting in that the buildings were not built for distillation but for a cotton mill. The mill wheel is now used for electricity so it is self sufficient. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love it. I agree I did Deanston a couple of weeks ago and it was good. Came away with the 20yo port finish and it's sensational. Asked one of the boys in the gift shop for a wee shot of the new 14 Spanish oak (cask strength 57% or something) thinking I'd get a wee taster. Ended up he poured me an absolute bucket and one for himself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gannonball Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Booze raid update: Tomatin Legacy. Not found it any different to when I first tried it at a tomatin whisky tasting where my dad purchased it. Smooth and unoffensive, not one Im mad about but there are miles worse base entry NAS whiskys out there. I got the tawny port finished Tomatin at the same tasting which is miles better unsuprisingly. Further update:its grown on me,another nip it is. Further further update: now back on old faithful,deanston 12. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HI HAT Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Amazon prime day but a bit disappointed in the whisky selection on offer. Settled on a 12 year old Highland Park with 2 tasting glasses for the princely sum of £24:50. Not coming till the 22nd of July though, so much for Prime delivery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent enough price with the two glasses but for me now the HP 12 I find a tad rough these days. When I was a teen in my old local it was the first whisky I would have without a mixer and set me on my way to appreciating whisky but now If you offered me that or black bottle I wouldn't be arsed either way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI HAT Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Got to honest, having a good size dram of Laphroaig quarter cask that I go about a month ago, I'll be glad when it's finished. Usually like Laphroaig but this hasn't done anything to make me buy it again Going to get something to enjoy while waiting for the HP.
