Lefty,

Payment sent for cask number 1 at 9.30am this morning, apologies again for the delay.
Asked bank to put my surname on as a reference so you can marry it up.

Regards

Tim

Thanks Tim, got it.

Cheers,
Iain

Bear in mind that the unpeated refill is the cheapest Octave at £500.

So with 5 members that's £100 (initial investment, excluding duty, bottling and delivery) each for probably 10 or 11 bottles...

I'm game for that.

[Lefty]

OK, ten names. Can anyone who hasn't already sent me their details please do so ASAP.

Cask is £500, so that's £50 each by transfer (or cash-over-counter at any RBS) or £54 by paypal.

Club5med, you joined ph specifically for this?! No offence intended. Can you please send me your name, address, email and phone numbers please?

Cheers
Lefty

[Lefty]

Got it, thanks chaps.

Clubsmed, you have a message.

Hi Iain

The peated one has been filled but not the sherry octave. They are due in hopefully next Thursday so yes no problem to come and fill both. I’ve copied this to Graeme Morrison, our maturation manager who will contact you to let you know when they arrive as I’m on holiday next week.

Best regards

Ronnie

[Lefty]

Anyone NOT got the payment details yet?

Appreciate if we can settle up ASAP so I can pay Glenglassaugh for the cask and get it filled next week.

Cheers
Iain

That’s great Iain thanks. We can get payment when you’re here to fill them. I’m just thinking that you are the November shipment actually, it’s the first delivery that’s due next week and they are all spoken for. I should have thought earlier. You’re very welcome to come and fill the unpeated refill if you like, or wait to do both later in the year.

So we don't get the sherry octave until November. I'll go up and fill cask 3 next week anyway and go back up in November to do cask 1. Anyone like to join me?

Hi Iain,

Cant do next week - but with plenty of notice I might be able to make the Novemebr date ?
Its a bit of a trek !

November would be good. Unfortunately, we won't find out until nearer the date exactly when the casks will arrive. They do some cracking tours too and you'd get to try a few drams...

If we were to arrange a date in December it would be less risky with regard to the casks actually having arrived. There is also the possibility of snow (we get rather a lot up here, my neighbour lost his transit under a drift last winter).

We should discuss it further anyway, would be great to put faces to names (beyond facebook anyway!)

I'd consider a share in an unpeated sherry - purely because a mate of mine wants some and I'm not splitting my personal cask.

I'm in for 2 shares, one to compare with my cask and one for my mate...

[Lefty]

Sorry chaps, not had a chance to catch up with emails today

I'm very much liking the idea of a cask-filling meet at Portsoy.

Even better, a cask bottling in a few years time!

Unpeated sherry cask is £600 chaps, so £60 each please.

If anyone hasn't yet sent me their contact details (name, address, email, phone numbers) can you please do so asap and I'll reply with payment details.

£60 transfered squire!

Details to follow by PM.

Right... so how many litres of this have I got?

... and is it ready yet?

50 litres of spirit will go into the cask. After 3 years when it's called whisky it might be about 45-47 litres... By 5 years maybe down to nearer 43 litres.

Filling ceremony in December?

As I already said, I've tried some of the sherry from these octaves and it's pretty damn powerful. Should make for stupendous young whisky.
