Nice...let us know how it taste


I've only had the A'bunadh once and really enjoyed...Amazon had it on offer then again on prime day but they messed up the order as it was selling batch 56 and sent be 57...I told them.i wanted 56 so they sent me a replacement but they sent me 58 so called them up, they said keep it and they won't charge me...so ended up paying ?76 for ?150 whisky...can't argue with that [emoji41]

Enjoying a couple of days on the Isle of Arran. Not only did I persuade the wife to do the distillery tour I also convinced her I was due a treat.

Will have a cigar with it when I get home._20170820_191957.jpg

Nice dram. How was the tour?

[lestabantam]

Really good. I didn't know much about the process but feel like I do now. It was billed as 45 mins but actually took about 1hr 15. The guy who showed us round was brilliant, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. As samples we had a dram of the 14Yo and the baileys type one which wasn't for me. Would recommend if you are on Arran. In fact I would recommend Arran. Gorgeous Island.IMG-20170820-WA0002.jpg

The Arran malts are al very good. peaty spicy yet smooth. Long aftertaste. Would highly recommend the the 14yr old.

Trying to finish a bottle of Dalmore King Alexander III. Overrated in my opinion; flat tasting and fairly one dimensional. The nose is considerably better than the actual taste, but drinkable.

Waiting on a bottle of Tamdhu Batch Strength, hoping that it might replace Aberlour Abunad'h as recent batches have been disappointing. It was a superb whisky around batch 46 if memory serves.

I?ve been on something of a buying spree recently but forgot about this thread.

I?ll try to take some pics if I get the chance.

Just cracked open my Tamdhu Batch Strength. It's very good. Reminds me of the good batches of Abunad'h. Sweeter and more drinkable though. Highly recommended. Now off to the rum thread to post about Plantation 20!

I smashed through a bottle of the blue bottled Royal Salute 21 with a friend on his 50th, ridiculously smooth

Picked up a bottle of Ardmore legacy for 20 quid in Tesco nice and peaty for a highland
