Pistonheads whisky cask

[hidetheelephants]

It went MIA when the casks were being transferred to WB, so it will be lurking in the shed at Glenglassaugh; at some point they need to be reminded that the mistake is theirs along with any costs.

Huh?

Please don't tell me the dream has died!

Hopefully not hijacking thread, have just had my Octave bottled after 7 1/2 years maturing and thought I would share a couple of photos.

Hope you all enjoy your whisky

So what's it like ?
Are you happy with the end result ?
42 bottles, thirsty angels.
And importantly are you selling any ?
Hope you enjoy.

Thanks

Will be honest and say I have not tasted it yet, leaving it until my 50th birthday in 11 days time.
Did hope for a bit more than the 42 bottles and possibly should have bottled earlier.
Not for sale, have dished out to family and friends with my stash kept for the next few years.
Few folk have opened there bottle and are impressed with the taste so should not be disappointed.

Did you have some bottles from the first PH Octave ?

Lefty/Balmoral, have you managed to sort anything yet?

[jinkster]

Did it work out around £100 for 8 bottles?

If it happens again, keep me posted. I’ll be interested.

Someone needs to take responsibility for this, I'm still sitting on it. There's no problem with a courier picking it up as I'm at home a lot of the time, and Mrs Balmoral is at home too during the school hols, or I can drop it at a local depot if need be.

Are you talking about cask 8 or something else, Balmoral? I'm still trying to work out what's going on!

I'm almost certain he is talking about Shaw Tarse's bottles that got sent to him.

I will be back in the UK in October, so if it's not fixed by then I am willing to volunteer to take care of those bottles...

This is all a bit 'after you, Claude'; Shaw Tarse needs to extract a digit and organise himself a courier to collect from Chez Balmoral otherwise the whisky will remain there until the second coming.

What about cask 8? Is anyone extracting a digit over that? I asked about it 6 weeks ago and had radio silence...

[hidetheelephants]

It's probably not ready for bottling yet, so where it slumbers isn't that important and residing in Portsoy(free storage) rather than Creetown(cheap storage) is of little consequence; that said it is better to prod Glenglassaugh into action sooner rather than later, as the mix-up is of their doing and they should foot any extra costs incurred transporting it south.

[NRS]

I don't own any of the casks, but I think I should by visiting Glenglassaugh next week. Is there anything I could do to try and help solve the missing cask when I am there to help?

Lefty was going to arrange a (re)courier, if not,I can sort something out with BG

[Balmoral]

Gimme your address in an email matey, and I'll get it sent.

Is there any particular courier or PO parcels preference if you're not at home on delivery and you need to collect from a local depot?

[AndyAudi]

Quick Q, does anyone have a copy of the original agreement with glenglassaugh, I've just had the proforma for bottling my own one & BenRiach seem to be adding £100 VAT from my payment made in 2011, which I'm thinking is a little off.

fyi I seem to have 44litres at 58.9%

Edit, looked back & see you guys had this too. (Should've done that 1st!)
