Absolute wankers. No better than ticket touting. Edit to add the auctioneers should be telling people to sling their hook trying to sell brand new bottles.

Everytime Macallan release some "limited edition" bollocks they are rife. Cant really blame folk tbh. They bottles arent drinkers. 100 and more notes for some 40% NAS pishwater.... Macallan are clever but thatd the cost 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I'd actually be all for the SWA ruling that whisky can't be resold above RRP within 2 years of bottling if they ever had the power to do so. It's a damned shame that so many accessible whiskies are being hoovered up by these p***ks while genuine enthusiasts miss out or pay over the odds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saddening when its stuff like Daftmill though. Iv never tried their stuff. Unless I get lucky in a ballot I probably never will but it sounds like a good distillery. I know a guy who knows the guy and speak highly of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 A colleague bought me a bottle of the Glenfiddich IPA. I’m really not tasting the beer other than very early at the front. Maybe I need to add water? Or is it just not very good? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will have an impact on Whisky production due to the amount of barrels imported by producers. https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-jim-beam-fire-20190703-story.html Edited July 3, 2019 by Zen Archer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopburn boy Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) Not so sure , given the grain distilleries alone do about 500,000,000 litres a year the 9,000,000 loss of 45,000 barrels ( assuming 200 l per barrel) it’s about a weeks worth of spirit , - I don’t have decent recent production numbers for malts , but at a guess another 30 % to 40% ( given say 30 % malt in a standard blend and the other 10% for singles ) stuff will just sit in tanks for a day longer as they shuffle barrels around , also as the new upgrades at Strathclyde and Cameron bridge are now coming up to 3 years old , there will be extra refill barrels appearing , hopefully reducing some of the strain on demand for new wood from there and allowing what was increased capacity on wood to trickle into the rest of the sector. zen - at first I thought you were right , but when I did some sums in my head the only conclusion was that the numbers are staggering when you stand back , that’s a lot of drams !
