Bairnardo Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 It really is, I've still got a second one on the go from the last time they had the deal on. The first one didn't last long.Yeah I have one open and I ordered another this morning. Cant fall off at that price. Usually goes for about 32 and its worth that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Right lads,You have a theoretical 200 to spend on whisky. You plan to use this to buy stuff at the end of the market you normally dont dabble in, so have decided on 2 bottles. What do you buy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought the (also great) 18 and am coming up on the last few drams of it. Hopefully someone replenishes it for Christmas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperDee Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Caol Ila 25 is a cracking nip if anyone likes their Islays. £35 a nip in most pubs that stock it though...[emoji28] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got the 21 a couple of years back it was about £115-120 I think with it now looking like £130-135, and last year I got the 18 for £80 and it’s now £98 online. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountyFan Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Arran 18 for me if I had £100 for whisky and no other restrictions. Tastes like apricot jam. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Lagavulin 12 yo and i would get a Glen Scotia Victoriana with the change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I'd buy something I know I like and something new. If the dear bottle was the one I liked then Octomore 7.3 and new one a nice looking single grain for something different. Other way about I'd go with a Deanston 18 and for the new one something like this single cask Auchentoshan https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/p/52286/auchentoshan-1997-21-year-old-old-particular 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tout P'ti FC Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I've arrived in Campbeltown. I think I might eat my credit card before I venture near Springbank. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tout P'ti FC Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I bought a Springbank 15 only. A model of restraint. Went into Cadenhead after Springbank and neither offered me a dram. Stingy. In Islay they are much more generous with their samples and I buy much more, there could be a correlation!Anyway Campbeltown was nowhere near as dingy as I'd heard. Sure the High St is a bit run down with usual load of empty shops, but it was a pleasant enough place to wander about in for a couple of hours. Left via a long walk at Machrihanish Bay, which was wild and stunning. Walked for two hours and still didn'tmanage to walk the length of the beach. Off to Islay tomorrow (weather/ferry dependent), currently bunkering down in Tarbert where about a month worth of rain fell on my head in the five minute walk from my hotel to the pub. Soaked through doesn't even begin to cover my woes here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tout P'ti FC Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Day 1 on Islay:Lagavulin - bought the 11 yo Offerman edition. Got soaked to skin. Ardbeg - got welcomed like an old friend, had lunch and nips of Corryvreckan and Perpetuum. Got soaked to skin. Kilchoman - went in soaked to skin from the beach and they warmed me up with some lentil soup, and gave me a few drivers drams to take away (which I will tan tonight). Some island this. There has been a battle raging all day between sunshine and rain. An absolute paradise. I've got a mixture of sunburn and trench foot. Tomorrow hopefully is Bunnahabhain tasting day if I can find transport. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
