That's a rare and now expensive half bottle, too rich for my budget unless you bought it a while ago before prices went silly.
Cheaper when you travel - ignore the £200 price tag in shops. Can also be picked up at auction for under £100.

Really is a lovely dram.
A bottle of the Kinninve 17 that harryw and I were chatting about.

There was a 17yo one that was exclusive to someone else (can't recall) that was even better!
It was this...

won one of these at auction last night!NRS said:
You got that very cheap compared to the last 2 that sold! The Kininvie was also a good price. I was having a look at some sherry stuff, but the prices seem to have moved up a bit again. Seems like anything "dark" coloured, single cask and with sherry in the name is in big demand. Tried to get some stuff in Sweden but had a lot of issues with stuff getting cancelled - the system seems to be a mess and shows a lot of stuff in stock that isn't actually there now. And the purchase in Norway didn't go through when they had the release here as my account got corrupted when they updated the system so the stuff I wanted was sold out when it got fixed, :'(
Yeah, I did OK.The Kininvie was £55 (less than I paid in Gatwick in the summer), the BenRiach £85 (I paid £95 from HTFW last time) and £160 (whoops) for the GLG Octave bottle.
However, £300 hammer price + VAT + Delivery + Insurance + f
k knows what else, leaves you with a bill for £367. That's some markup...NRS said:

I know it's a bit more mainstream, but one of the reasons I was asking earlier for people's view on the Glemorangie Quinta Ruban, as it struck me as being a reasonable way into decent sherry/port heaven...but at sub £50 it's a bit more than my usual 25-35 supping bracket.Podie said:

That reads like a good haul, I tend to get through best part of a bottle some weeks (don't tell the doctor!) so would have to save these for high days and holidays only if I was not to bankrupt myself....The Kininvie was £55 (less than I paid in Gatwick in the summer), the BenRiach £85 (I paid £95 from HTFW last time) and £160 (whoops) for the GLG Octave bottle.
