As someone who doesn't own any of the casks perhaps Peated Bourbon or one of the others could be something to do with Hennessey Venom - blend of British and American?

If anyone is interested in selling a bottle of theirs I'd be interested by the way, smile

Only because you asked nicely.


I think around £1000 ONO per bottle should surfice smile I don't know about bottles, but I would be willing to exchange some samples.

That really depends if we bottle 70cl or 50cl wink And if the Chinese see it as a good investment. Maybe we need one named after MG or the Peated Dongfeng.

A kind and generous offer (the sample swap rather than the full bottle price smile).

Let me know when you have the whisky in your possession and we can sort out a swap.

Watch whisky glitter in the darkness...time to drink.

Now I'm ready for the casks to be ready.

(yes it technically should be used with Johnnie walker black but...)

It's been mentioned before, but I'll be up for trading a few of my bottles for others. I'd rather have a selection than 10 of the same!

So I've had a think, what do people think so far?

Cask 1 - Peated Sherry -
Cask 2 - Peated Refill -
Cask 3 - Unpeated Refill - Reimagined
Cask 4 - Unpeated Sherry - Lambo
Cask 5 - Unpeated Port - Custard Tart
Cask 6 - Unpeated Bourbon - Pure 'Vette
Cask 7 - ??
Cask 8 - Peated Bourbon - Carol's Cobra

Some obvious, some less so maybe.

Those names are not very PH!

What about:

MX5?
Powerfully Built Company Director?
Frozen Sausages?
Nuke it from Orbit?
335d (mapped)?

I'd be tempted to call it "fully synthetic" or "four-star"

Very good. Only if it's cast strength.

I was trying to come up with names that are both car related and reflect the wood the whisky is aged in. That said, the custard tart is a little more PH! I think that's more interesting than just labelling bottles with PH in jokes...

High octane, or similar, is a good shout though. If someone's happy to step up and come up with names as descriptions then we could really have some fun!

Just an idea but how about circuit corner names from around the UK?

Druid, Gooseneck, Coppice, Quarry, Copse etc

I have missed this thread and just caught up - can I say thanks to all involved for the stewardship.

Is there anymore £ due on the bottling etc, and if so, how can it get sorted?

Similarly, are there any being left longer?

This may have been answered however I was enjoying a few drams and thus relooking at the thread! smile

Missed all these updates!

Yes, the casks have arrived, already had an email from them wanting to know when we're going to come and sample them! How different to Glenglassaugh.

No more £££ needed until we decide for sure what to bottle now and what bottles/labels we want.

Anyone like to come up and visit?

Would like to visit and being able to visit are two different things hehe

I'll put my trust in those who taste the whisky and then moan about it later smile

Lefty,

Where are they now (geograhically) ? I am in Scotland but not until August and will be traveling all over visiting many distilleries so could schedule a sampling then if we have not bottled by then.
