Queues outside Good Spirit Company this morning. First person was there about 0430 apparently. I tried the Longrow Red last year in a Springbank tasting pack but had no luck getting my hands on a bottle so far. Picked up a Campbeltown Loch which I'm looking forward to trying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 65-70% of these guys are flippers easily. Fair play if you get one online, thats where I draw the line. Barely worth it at it is. Thankfully your 10yo, Longrow peated, Campbeltown loch bottles aren't being too heavily fought over..... Yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) Drinking Bunnahabhain 12 tonight, great, then switched to Laphroaig 10. I just adore the peat fire nose of the Laphroaig, finished the bottle and decided it'll be replaced immediately.

I'd honestly be up for a law against this pish, not just for whisky. If you buy something retail you shouldn't be allowed to immediately go gouging online for 10x the price as soon as something is sold out. Any listings like that online should be allowed to be 'bought' back by the original seller but no funds to the touts. Arsehole behaviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Re : Springbank and everything else I think you just have to stay ahead, or behind, the trends. Leave the scalpers and the rest to it. It's great whisky but there is loads of great whisky and if I never had another Springbank again as long as I live I won't go without. The recent Bunna CS 12 also shows great distilleries and great fanfare =/= great whisky 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartsOfficialMoaner Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Never been to Campbeltown but will there 3 weeks from now. Cadenhead's warehouse tasting. Will be staying at Argyll Arms Hotel, hope they do a good breakfast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling a couple of dusty old whisky bottles from a bulging collection a few years down the line for a tidy earner is fine in my book. There's plenty of idiot flippers who are losing money selling stuff to the likes of me for £20-30 under RRP after fees The guys who are borderline professional sellers with zero interest in the actual joy of drinking the stuff are the ones to watch. I've got a couple of decent bottles I've picked up over the years tucked away, no real idea of what/when would cause me to reach for one. Maybe a place in the WC finals might be one of those moments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
