Looks interesting 'n I do like HP which year bottling did you get or did you get 1 of each....

hey puff,
as far as i know, my local off license is stocking the ola dubh 12 year old, but if there's any of the others on sale i'll be getting those as well! 'er indoors mentioned something about getting some kasteel cru beer for over the weekend (she's friends coming over tomorrow), so it gives me the right excuse to go up and get some ola dubh! it sounds like a nice tipple to have with a fine cuban cigar......

i'll let you know the outcome later......

looking at the harviestoun website, it seems it comes in 5 bottlings! 12yr old, 16 yr old, 18 yr old, 30 yr old special reserve and 40 yr old special reserve! the 12 is ?4 a bottle, god knows how much the others will be.....

Best to have an EL of sorts with this beer

.......is this a recommendation base on how 'special' this stuff is? or is based on the sweetness maduro cigars normally have......

needless to say, the offy was sold out!!! how disappointing!!! is it worth ordering in bill?

cheers pal,
