I cannot believe that the Perpetuum was fetching £280-310 on a whisky auction site yesterday!
Pah - http://www.whisky-onlineauctions.com/ardbeg-celebt...Remember it was a UK only sale. (seemingly)
My GF has just come back home and ordered 2 bottles within about 30 seconds! Our order numbers are about 700 apart from one another and, judging by the responses on FB, I seemed to be one of the first ones who had been successful! Did the email they sent out say something along the lines of 12,000 bottles for the Committee release? So all in all, around 20,000 bottles?

Anyway, back to drinking whisky.
I had some Nikka Coffey Malt (Yellow Label) over the weekend and I had forgotten how good it tastes. Very moccha/chocolatety, honey and just very smooth. I also managed to grab another bottle of the 200 year Laphroaig 15yo and about a third of that disappeared. Very nice but the 18yo is a bit nicer and has more of the normal Laphroaig taste profile. The 15 seemed to have less smoke and seaweed.
I also managed to do a little tipsy ordering online from abbey whisky. A 13yo bottling of theirs called Anon which must have sounded intersting in my somewhat 'merry' state.
So much for not buying more whisky

Unsure if anyone has seen, or has any interest in this : http://telegraphevents.co.uk/the-telegraph-whisky-...
I discovered it via an email from the Whiskyshop. Apparently was held last yearas well. 65 whiskies is quite a wide range.
As info

Pissing me off massively. I have been trying since the bottle appeared on the web site at 9.55. It went live at 10am and I have been trying to get 2 bottles. An absolute shambles as it is every year.
If it helps it will go on sale here on Friday. There will be no problem getting them either - they still have 9 bottles of the Aurivedes available as they get so many.I'll raise a drink for you guys in sympathy...
So you can all laugh at me now,
Tried the Mackmyra Iskristall a few nights ago. Nicely balanced for it's age, a bit peppery with some sherry coming though, although it's certainly not a big sherry bomb, quite a long finish. My friends who aren't big whisky drinkers enjoyed it.

Lovely caramel coffee. It's nearly gone though, time to say goodbye.
I've cast an eye over that several times. Its getting harder and harder to resist, especially now you've said that. Lovely caramel coffee. It's nearly gone though, time to say goodbye.
Conundrum, over sized stash, what do I do?
P/S Has anyone tried Whistlepig?
