Anyone signing up to try and get the Laphroaig 21yo? It seems to be a good approach in regards to the smaller bottles (more people able to taste it) and the ballot removes the servers crashing and spending ages hitting "F5".
Yes, I've entered the ballot, for 2 bottles, decided the max of 3 may be unrealistic, I'll be happy with just the one at the end of the day. I agree, a darned good idea, both in the application method , and the bottle sizing. A fairer spread of happiness.

I'm in for 2 bottles of the 21yo Laphroaig but I managed to get a Cairdeas a couple of months ago so I am not too hopeful.

In other news, this was all waiting for me at my parent's when I went back the other day.

For a laugh I bought Glen Orrin from Lidl tonight expecting it to be a drain cleaner.

It's actually not that bad, especially for £12.

Agree there. A short while ago at a blind tasting we had a dram of the Maderia - picked it out straight away. However, it was a new release for the French market and bottled at 40 - not 46. Whilst the base dram was easily identified - the end product had lost a lot of character. Poor old French.

The Moch is a good drop too - and the Storm - I must buy another sometime.

I'm VERY sadly nearing the end of a bottle of Waitrose 'own brand' Whiskey. It's a 1981 distilled, 21 yr old single speyside that's been matured in port pipes.

It is bloody gorgeous, and I want to try and find if it exists in a 'branded' bottle.

It was bottled by WM Maxwell Ltd of Broxburn. I wondered if anyone had heard of these guys, or if they're linked to a distillery? Is the port pipes a signature of a particular brand?

I'd be very grateful for any leads you can provide, as I've not found any other whisky that comes close so far!
