Thought I had got the first of these yesterday, but sadly they cancelled my order, Sounded very nice. The second one probably will be released in around a month so can try (and most likely fail!) to get that. 13yo Highland Park single cask bottle from a first fill sherry European Hogshead. Second one is 14yo and an American Hogshead instead.
So today I ordered a basically unknown Bruichladdich instead - although not sure if I have got it or not! I only know it's from 2001, 57,2% and for Sweden. It sounds like it will effectively be one of their Valinchs. Hoping it's something decent!

Was going to have some for a night cap, but sod it I'll have some now.... Bloody lovely, might have taken over Old Pulteney as my current favourite...lets see.
Fantastic single malt.It always amazes me how they sell this one for the price they do.
It's currently £35 in Waitrose (for example), worth twice that.
It's one of my favourites, and when I do tasting evenings, it always comes out as the favourite, despite going up against Octomore's, Glendronachs etc etc
Good choice.

Couldn't resist a purchase in Waitrose today. Despite the fact I already have two (much earlier) unopened batches sat on the shelves.
Batch 56 - there has been better but this is a definite return to dram. Think I need to get another 105 - with that theme in mind.
What a selection I have open right now - Dalmore 12 - Laphroaig Triple - and a couple of others.
