Pistonheads whisky cask
Discussion
OK I’ve had a couple of questions about the fees.
The bottle picking fee isn’t per bottle. It’s £15 per consignee and I think they might have made a mistake on the invoice and only charged £210 so I divided that equally per person. Classic Mercs & Krallicious have a half share each but the whole of their share is being posted out in one consignment.
The Consignment fee was a fiver per case up to a max of £150 so I prorated the £150 back to the shareholders based on the number of bottles each person is getting.
These both seemed the fairest way of splitting it up.
Cheers

I've had dozens of emails...but still no whisky!!
To be clear, i gave WB a spreadsheet with everyones name, address, email and mobile number along with a table of who gets how many bottles from which casks. Really clear and they seemed happy and able to follow it.
Hope everyone gets their bottes today or tomorrow, if not by cob tomorrow please let me know and i'll chase Debbie at WB

Mine finally arrived last night! 
Not tried any yet but tonight's the night i think.
Has everyone got what they expected? More to the point, is anyone still waiting?
I got a dram of a 12yo px octave from a mate recently (not from glenglassaugh though). Any worries about them going too far don't seem to be justified, it was superb. Like a 40yo Glendronach at a tiny fraction of the price. Whether or not non-sherry casks could turn too oaky after that length of time i'm not sure.

Seriously didn't need to hear that ! 40yr old Glendronach is nectar.
My only concern with peated spirit is that it’s often a bit odd with sherry. I’ve had some fantastic drams with the combination but also quite a few that have been really jarring. If it’s very lightly peated I think it tends to work better.
Can I suggest unpeated for 4 and 5. Quite happy to try peated for 6 & 7.
Anyone fancy making a table on Here with the cask owners down the y axis, cask numbers along the x and a choice for peated/unpeated and we’ll just go with the majority?
Not sure a new thread is a good idea - the refill casks 1-3 are all covered in this one (and the elusive cask 8)

Hang on, lets see if this works:

Is there a fair way we can go all in? Eg I have a 6 ish bottle share in two casks. Would be just as happy with a 3 bottle share in the four.
If you find somebody to do so some swapping then crack on - just let me know so i can update the share owners spreadsheet thing
