Saw this in Costco Coventry yesterday, seems to be good value from a quick Google?

[ALBA MELV]

Picked up a litre bottle of Glenfarclas 105 and 3x Glenfarclas 17yo at the weekend.

Probably ok compared to a lot of shops, but seem to be around £130-180 in auction (before fees). It's probably a bit much for what it is though, being a modern NAS Macallan.

So, Ardbeg Blaaack going on sale this morning to committee members! Anyone get it? It's literally just gone out of stock as I was going through with my purchase!

Their tasting notes:

Ardbeg said:

Sweet fruit pudding knits together seamlessly with cedar wood and aromatic cigars. Oak tannins and rich truffles break away to reveal a subtle note of smoky jam tart.

With a splash of water, intense aromas of bitter cherry and a curiously zesty note emerges. Characteristically, this dram then travels in a different direction with perfumed violet notes.

A velvety mouthfeel leads into contrasting flavours. Aniseed, soot and summer fruits give way to crumbly pastry, dark chocolate, coffee and almonds. Following on is a long, lingering and sooty finish, perfect for toasting our legendary Committee.

I got one.

I’m going to open it when it comes.

[Blown2CV]

weirdly i didn't get the committee email notifying me in advance... bit st considering i've given Ardbeg some £££ over the years!

Did consider the blaaack actually as the last few specials haven't really interested me much whereas this one sounds better, but don't think i will buy one this time after all.

Oh crap. I nearly always check my emails first thing, except today - and at 7.01am there's my email from Ardbeg. Bugger.

Yea, I thought this one sounded quite interesting. Though I was in half a mind to flip depending on market prices, but still quite gutted to have missed out.

[Gribs]

How much was it?

[whoami]

£102 inc P&P.

[jammy-git]

It was a bit cheaper than I thought it was going to be, tbh. I was expecting it to be the same as Dark Cove and Supernova (£120).

The latest Macallan ballot invitation has arrived. Anyone tempted? I'm not.

[whoami]

Not for me.

[NRS]

Weirdly I got the Folio ones, but not this email.

Christ someone’s making a killing. Do they come with nubile serving wenches at that price.

For all of them?? To flip presumably?

Four I've bought recently, special amongst them is the 9 year old Kilchoman.

Love a Kilchoman. Even the basic Machir Bay seems to manage being peaty without being overly heavy.

Machir Bay is probably my favourite whisky!!!

Picked up a bottle of the Game of thrones Lagavulin 9yr old for £36.99 on Amazon during the week, I'll definitely be drinking it, I think a few people got caught up in the whole Limited Edition thing.
