Ealanta now in stock at green welly shop.

Cheaper than the distillery at only £100

In Costco Aberdeen last night and they have Lagavulin 16 year old at £32 odds + VAT (call it £39).

Not my tipple but i'll get some for any locals who have no access to Costco.

Good price, wish I needed some!

Anyone flying anywhere soon?

Keen to get my hands on a bottle of Octomore 6.2: http://www.bruichladdich.com/the-whisky ... 6-2-167ppm

If anyone sees it I would suggest buying a bottle for yourself and if you can be bothered collect one for me too!

Has anyone ever tried any of the Japanese malts?

I might have a go but they're too expensive to buy and not like.

Go to glengarioch, not far for you Tony.
Owned by Suntory, should be able to blag a sample

Found this while wandering -

I know it's not malt - but it's got a car theme too

Anybody tried anything new and interesting lately?

Recently opened a 1995 Lagavulin Distillers and 2007 25 yr old Talisker - both delicious.
I'm about 1/3 through my first bottle of Ealanta which is also very tasty.

18yr old Glengoyne I picked up at The LEGS breakfast meet there last year.
It's very nice, smokey and full of
flavour.

Hi Kenny, it was part of their annual releases. Every year they make a few cask selections to bottle as single cask releases. There will be a different, similar offering available I'm sure but you might struggle to get the same cask again. Glendronach only use PX or Olorosso casks so make sure you get the right one. Graeme and I both picked up 1990 PX bottles yesterday from the distillery for about £80, a real bargain for a single cask px whisky of that age. Happy hunting!

Picked these two up today

Good choices, where did you get them from?

[flyingscot68]

A wee shop in Dyce, huge selection and prices seemed reasonable too.
The Balvenie was £8 cheaper than I've seen it online and the GlenDronach was a tenner less.

Barrons of Dyce, the costcutters? A great place for a bargain

[flyingscot68]

That's the one.
