I bought a bottle of auchentoshan springwood as i havent had anything from there before and was quite exited about trying it only to be left fairly dissapointed and find myself pouring anything but. I also bought a glenlivit distillers reserve and although this is much nicer than the auchentoshan is not as good as the readilly available founders reserve. Is the duty free shops just given stock of whisky that the distillerys want rid of and its easiest to punt from there? The deals are usually worth a gamble IMO. My last purchase was 3 x L for 120 quid so anything half decent worth it. I got a Glen Scotia Campbelltown 1832. They just dont do bad whisky. I got a Highland Park - cannae mind name - not very good. Bunnahabhainn An Cladach. Perfectly serviceable Islay. Hit and miss but part of fun of flying for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free samples, the chance to buy interesting whiskies. I can’t think of a better way to waste time in an airport. I’ve had a couple of brilliant whiskies from DF. One was some cask strength Port Finished Laphroaig. The other was some Macallan Distiller’s Edition that was given to me, it was really good but not really my idea of VFM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the tungston weasel Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Thanks everyone. Im glad its not just me to be dissapointed by the springwood. As i said the glenlivit distillers reserve was alright but still number 4 for me on my shelf.Currently i have;1. Highland park 12 yo viking honour2. Buffalo trace 40%3. Glenfiddich 12 yo4. Glenlivit distlliers reserve (1L duty free)5. Auchentoshan springwood (1L duty free)Thats my preference in order however 1-3 may change depending on mood.I think i have a good variation there however i am after expanding the collection with somthing affordable yet a bit different from what i have already.I have been looking at things like wild turky 101 as an adventure down the burbon direction an something a bit stronger and monkey shoulder as a bit of a fancy blend.Anybody got any suggestions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb_diamond Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Is anyone aware of any half decent whisky resale sites? Not auctions but more for private sales? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to check thewhiskyexchange.com to at least get an idea of what they sell it for, problem is that they're now out of it and have been for a year or so. The last price it was selling at was around £200 I wouldn't expect that for it, if I'm honest I'm not looking to sell it right now anyway but would just like a rough worth for it. I got a good few bottles from my uncle who lived up north, he used to get them at about £15 a bottle. As far as i know Macallan were planing on changing the bottle style, people kept lifting them by the cork and with a heavy glass bottom this ment people constantly dropping them. In the end they just decided to discontinue it rather than go through with this. I've got 2 bottles left that I plan on keeping and hopefully making a few quid on. Looked back into this and it looks like keeping these bottles may have been a good idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats with a 5er off each as put the tour discount on them even though I didn’t do one this time. The 14 isn't far off cask strength so is worth it imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of folk didn't appear to know about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one didn't last long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
