The owners of casks 1, 2 & 3 will also note that I've asked WB to refill the casks.

I'll send out an email to the owners in due course...

Take your pick;

1) still at WB because it's the kind of place that doesn't like to use the term mañana as it implies an improbable and unwanted sense of urgency.
2) stuck in some god-forsaken parcel depot.
3) about to arrive where you are.

Saw this was updatde and hoped against hope it was one of you posting photos of your whisky!!

I'll chase them (again). They are lovely people and it's a very impressive facility but, indeed, manana is the word.

Can you guess why I picked up all of mine and dropped it off at meeting points as I drove the length of the country smile

Yep, 9th of Feb I think? Took a month to get an invoice, a month to get payment sorted and now it looks like another month to get the bottles posted.

But they let us leave with unpaid bottles (and a stload of new-make spirit in jerry cans!) hehe

Hi there,

No sign of any whisky here yet frown

Happy to get the AA to make up some yellow signs for the roads if they are having trouble finding my house.

An update would be superb.

Regards

Tim

Hi Tim,

I spoke to a new person yesterday (Debbie) and she promised, PROMISED, that they are doing it this week - they were very apologetic (again).

I just got a bunch of emails from UPS.

First instinct: SPAM

Tentatively clicked one and guess what they are?
