Jeez Louise what a great tasting, Tomatin is a great distillery with some great drams-that 12 year old is terrific and what a bargain!
The star of the show had to be the PX 20 year old but really they were all great.
Great stories and history by blender Scott Adamson, no young crap either-all their experimental stuff is well aged. A proper no gimmicks OG distillery.

My top shelf:
Has a 25 year old Glenfarclas in there, Octomore 9.3 and 14.1
Bought these 2 for my Christmas pressie to me:
And treated myself to these 3 when I was up at my folks property in Dunkeld back in Feb, from Dunkeld Whisky Box:
Not opened any of them; can't drink currently due to issues I'm having that have come back to haunt me after having a cholecystectomy back in last June! Bloody typical...

Can I ask where you got the Meikle Toir bottle from? Meikle is my surname and I would love one for my collection.Has a 25 year old Glenfarclas in there, Octomore 9.3 and 14.1

The Lochlea our barley is very good... had a couple of samples on whisky-me and have bought a bottle to work through. Surprising for a very young whisky from a new distillery. I particularly liked the cereal tang to the taste.
Scored it a 4 on my ratings sheet.

Picked up a bottle of this in Waitrose today as I quite liked the name.
When did Lagavulin reach £80?
Saw a bottle in a French supermarket the other week and it was €49. 
Laga 16YO is a joke now; stupidly priced because it's aimed at the Japanese & Yank markets with it being overly coloured and chill filtered
For me the 8YO is much nice for not being any of the above

Slightly briney too which makes for a great taste
Think it was a year or so back Diagro did yet another big hike on prices which was when it was up to near £80. The news articles plus stories I’m hearing suggest the markets have stalled out a bit though. They’re starting to sell casks back to some indies again (they had basically stopped for a bit), and bottles have been sitting gathering dust in importers, as shops aren’t buying them as the old stock is not shifting. That would make sense with my recent trip through Heathrow - for the special releases Clynelish 2023 down to around £110 from I think £180 or so, Glenkinchie 27 was down from £360 to £190 and so on. They have to slash the price down to probably an actual real market price to sell it.
I picked up the Clynelish for my local whisky club, plus the Glenkinchie for a friend, as well as taking some other bottles back from the UK:

What's happening with Glenfarclas 25 these days? Obviously it went stratospheric when the casks started running out but I noticed Him are offering it at £135 a bottle tonight-that must be £100 less than it was a couple of years ago even if not as low as the £85 you could get it for a few years ago.

Not selling at the new prices. It’s not good enough. So to shift it they need to give big discounts. Same with a lot of modern bottles. The prices are too high, and so to sell them you need to offer big discounts. Like the Special Releases above, they need a huge discount.
Lots of bottles stacking up with importers and shops, so they don’t order the new ones. It’ll be interesting to see how the industry deals with this longer term. Will it be they offer higher prices but expect most bottle sales under discount periods? Or do they have to reduce new prices back to a more realistic level?
