HeartsOfficialMoaner Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Any member from SMWS can you tell me how many bottles of 53.332 were released today and how long before they were sold out? Not that I was going to spend that money but I'd just like to know. A little taste of it would be nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be handy to be able to sell 300k worth of stock in a few minutes when times get tough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be handy to be able to sell 300k worth of stock in a few minutes when times get tough. These bottles are out of my price range as well. I doubt they would have sold them all at once though. I bought a bottle of theirs from Ardmore a few months back that I thought I'd missed out on but they released it gradually. 50 or so bottles very now and then. Back in my price range I do fancy the 41.127 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) Got this for 40 quid a few months ago off amazon but only just sampling it tonight. If your in to Cheapish sherry bombing with a decent enough abv (glen farclas 105 etc) its very decent for that price point but its now crept up towards 50 quid now. Can tell its a quite young but not rough. Edited October 20, 2020 by gannonball 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree its a decent bottle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice whisky is made to be drunk, dont understand these folk scared to get wired in to the good stuff. I don’t mind getting wired into the good stuff but I hate finishing them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountyFan Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Kilchoman Sanaig for me tonight which was a terrific recommendation from this very thread. I am accompanying it with band of brothers episode 1 (and probably 2 and 3). Who said you couldn't have a good night during lockdown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartsOfficialMoaner Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Having a 14 year old Glenrothes after pigging out. This is my pudding. Bottled by Hunter Laing. First Edition range. A step outside my comfort zone of SMWS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I’ve been gifted a £100 bottle to choose. Considering possibly Balvenie Doublewood 17, Glengoyne 18 or something completely different. Any recommendations? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last couple of years have not been good for that. I’ve got a Glendronach 18 on the shelf currently (always have a Glendronach of some description on the shelf, king of whisky), and finished a Glenfarclas 21 quite recently, which while nice it didn’t live up to expectations of a 21 for me. Will have a look at the compass box one as not seen that before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
