The Whisky / Whiskey thread

I have seen a few mentions of Lagavulin 16 here and just thought I would let you know that Costco UK now does it at ?43 a bottle.

That's a good price for such a good whisky.

Seems so

I have been paying about ?49 a bottle on Amazon. It's been higher but it drops back to ?49 from time to time.

I found a price tracking app to track the whiskies I am after on Amazon. They all seem to have a special from time to time and I have saved ?200+ in the last two months.

If you haven't already you should try the Glendronach range of whiskies. Fantastic stuff.

Just looking at the tasting notes on some of these, and they do sound bloody delicious! I may have to grab a bottle to try!

Was lucky enough enjoy this last night. It would appear that the bottle was about 70 years old according to the son of the first owner. Anyone have any input the age of the bottle?

Used to bottle these at Whyte & Mackay. Horrible tasting whisky. Older stuff might have been better but hated the tasted and the ball ache of packaging it all up.

All of the distilleries that participated are owned by Diageo. I believe they sold Bushmills ?

I paid ?399 in total for the 8, pre-ordered from the whisky shop and amazon.
