Keep an eye on this thread and wait for one of us (or you) to organise it (is the short answer). I had tried to do another cask (twice) earlier this year but WB sold the ones I was after before I could get things organised.

So is the refill with the table not happening then? More than happy to organise one if not certainly don't want to step on anyone's toes.

[S6PNJ]

Refill table is happening (once everyone completes it) but that's for the original cask owners only. If you want to organise another cask - crack on , there's no monopoly on who can and can't do one. Fill your boots (as they say).

I would be interested if a new thread was started for another cask! from wherever distillery

Anyone want to swap share of PX1 for SC11?

I am in again on the lot!

Just bumping this, anyone want to play swapsies for the refill?

Original cask owners only! You are in Cask 8, not 4-7.

To remove any confusion, the original casks were:
Cask 4 - PX1 - Unpeated Sherry
Cask 5 - SC100 - Unpeated Port
Cask 6 - SC11 - Unpeated Bourbon
Cask 7 - SC14 - Unpeated Rum

Sorry - not been near PH in ages - missed this I think - added my line if slightly against the grain on a couple of casks.

With only 5 people left to vote (Funkygibbon, Hidetheelephants, Arguti, bga, Robuk - where are you??), the current standings are:

	PX1	SC100	SC11	SC14
Votes cast	2 peated 6 unpeated	1 peated 6 unpeated	5 peated 3 unpeated	3 peated 6 unpeated
Votes to cast	2	3	3	3
Result	Fill with unpeated	Fill with unpeated	undecided	undecided, possibly draw, more likely fill with unpeated

Which for me and other peated lovers is a shame as I think all 7 casks will now probably be filled with unpeated spirit (3 already done and these 4).

Who's in for a peated (or half peated (ie lightly peated)) PX Cask? Might be sorting one out......watch this space..

What Spirit has Martin got floating around these days ? That Staoisha that was on offer last time would have been brilliant - have a lot of time for that spirit which works well young - eg G&M bottlings of 7 / 8 yo

Martin has (a lot of) Lingdarroch unpeated and now (as of a few days ago) Lingdarroch PEATED spirit. He has a few (and only a few) casks already filled with peated and quite a few filled with unpeated (for sale) but I'm looking to get a PX cask and fill with either 100% peated Lingdarroch or possibly a 50:50 peated/unpeated (to make a lighter peated hopefully?) fill. Lingdarroch may or may not be (I do know really!) related to Bladnoch but for commercial reasons any likeness is possibly purely coincidental .

Unpeated sprit (smells wonderful and very Christmas cakey to me!) I reckon it's at least 3/4 full.

[David A]

Yes in. Just assume I’m in for whatever comes up )

[robuk]

Anyone demolished a bottle or more yet?

On a re-run is there any deadline to firm it all up?

In other news, for the owners of the Ben Nevis casks I requested 50ml samples of those octaves and they’ve sent 50cl samples instead! I’ll add the cost of the duty free samples to the Spreadsheet for those octaves and when I can get enough little sample bottles I’ll send you 50ml samples to each cask owner

I haven’t tried it yet but I suspect it will be very spirity still!

Cheers
Lefty

Any update on these samples please Lefty? What are the chances of being able to taste them over Christmas this year?

Yup, managed that at the start of October - though in my defence it was socially shared (whilst being distanced) with a group of mountain biking buddies!
