Hamish's Passenger Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Has to be a good buy at £23I’ve mentioned this before, you can normally pick it up in a Coop for £22. It’s a decent skelping dram and I was pleasantly surprised by it. Have seen it on Amazon for about £30-£32 which it’s not worth when comparing with others at that price, but at £22 it’s a winner in my book. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I had the German Pinot Noir finish and it was pretty pleasant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammo Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) Had an Arran harmony series 5 when out on the island yesterday. Was a really nice dram, bit like the bothy version but smoother. Not quite as nice as the explorer series 4 but still lovely. Edited July 15, 2022 by Sammo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruyff14 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I recently got a bottle of the Balvenie 16 French Oak, which is very nice, and Longrow, which is also good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarcastic Bairn Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I stumbled across a fairly new App the other week 'Bevvy', only whisky on it at this moment but bourbon being added soon. Just take a photo and you get some decent info, price, tasting notes, news feeds etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Cracked the Orchard House. It's quite good. You'll often get at least some info with Compass Box as to what's in the bottle and this one is the same. Interesting to see they purchased new make spirit and aged it themselves. Back of the bottle for anyone interested. Spoiler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tremendous stuff. Glad you liked it. You have to watch yourself with that company. I have had a couple of bottles from them before but would have preferred a bigger a bottle. Normal size. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
