Went to the distillery in the summer, Really good tour. I didn't really think that much of the whiskey, tried that one and their blend. The blend was terrible.

Agreed, it's not really anything to write home about.

Are we allowed to talk about bourbon here?

I bought a bottle of this after a very enjoyable (free!) distillery tour while I had a free weekend in Kentucky last year. It was so good I've had to buy another

Much obliged.

I just picked up a bottle of Old Putney 17 for £35 (half price) at Tesco Camberley. It was the last bottle on the shelf, so presumably clearing stock.
Rally's whisky of the year 2015.

Yeah pretty frustrated with that. I had paid £67 two days before on line

If it's any consolation I paid £70 for a bottle just before Xmas.

A Campbeltown tonight, Glengyle Kilkerran 12yo. Very nice...

What is that stuff like? I have noticed Asda sell it, is it worth the extra over the likes of Bulleit / Buffalo Trace etc?

It comes from the Buffalo Trace distillery. IMO it's much nicer than normal BT or Bulleit (which I'm not a huge fan of) but it feels a little pricey when I originally got a litre for $35. Didn't stop me buying it though

Yes I like it quite a lot as well. One of my favourite Bourbons.
Incidentally Pappy Van Winkle comes from the Buffalo Trace Distillery as well, so it's not just a cheap brand pushing a pricier version, they do make top quality spirit - when they want to.

England's secret weapon.

No way am I a whisky conneseur. However this is really smooth has a delicous taste and goes down really well.

Their peated variant is something else altogether, but as I cut it ever so slightly it mellowed on the palate enough for (me) to discern the flavours and it does grow on you...a real man's whisky...

I've got a 20cl sample of that I haven't tasted yet, must try harder....

Kilch Oman Machir Bay tonight, very tasty.

Lefty, did you get my PM earlier in the week ?

[tim0409]

I'm looking for some help/guidance on the best place to sell a presentation box set for Mortlach 75 which also contains a small sample bottle/vial. The whisky is pretty rare as a bottle/decanter costs £25,000, and only 100 bottles have being released. From what I gather the box set is worth circa. £350, and wondered if there is good whisky forum I should consider, or is eBay any good?

Thanks

Tim

Finally got round to trying some of the samples I brought back from my trip to Islay last August. Tonights option being Ardbeg Kildalton - absolutely delightful!

Benromach 10 year old tonight, very nice and excellent value for what it is..
