  1. Surely such games will attract a global audience and tv deal , oops wrong thread ....
  2. Did a tasting with Charlie Maclean a couple of years back, and he admitted when the doors are shut and the curtains are closed , he pours a black label for himself
  3. Nah, if it’s a hogsheads then filled at 225 litres , angels get greedy , so even conservatively that’s 180 l in the cask , again let’s be conservative and say it’s at 60%abv ( depends on fill, if it went in at 63.5 , this numbers might be 150 l @ 55% abv) so that’s a duty cost of 2700 ( 2062.5 for the 150l example) , it’s still a whoosh of cash, but it isn’t 10 grand if he has a Sherry butt with a 600l fill, then a that’s a hell of a gift , and b fins a whisky shop to go halfers with and have them (effectively ) pay for the lot for an exclusive bottling and get 50 odd bottles effectively buckshee, what can go wrong there and 50 bottles is a LOT of Grog !
  4. That’s the same for whoever gets the 2nd and 3rd berths
  5. had the final drams from this lovely bottle to see out the old , and bring in the new happy new year , to you all! ( Longmorn)
  6. I find it’s the variety that is enticing , so peaty one night , bourbon cask the next , and a sherried dram for high days and holidays. It’s the exploration of new tastes different Sherry casks give different tastes , and don’t be fooled by colour , some of the nicest sherried drams with that full Christmas cake tastes have come in the palest of drams. And when you get Sherry with peat , that can be really nice !
  7. 75cl isn’t a uk measure , more normally USA
  8. Bargain peaty , get yourself an Ardmore , 20 somthing quid I’m my local co op ,
