What was the verdict on the 3 whiskies Steve, any overall favourite?
Two days into the new credit card month...and I haven't bought anything yet!
[Itch, itch].
From my stalking of the Master of Malt site (Seaweed is one of their brands) I'm going to guess Laphroaig. I base this on the £15 flash sale reduction they made to the Laphroaig 10 cask strength (no one else has done this) and the coincidence of MoM bringing out a 10yo cask strength sherry cask version in the Seaweed line just as Laphroaig release a 10yo sherry matured line.Or know the truth of Seaweed etc’ origin?
You will not go wrong with any of them at retail prices IMO. Quality drams. The SP10 is excellent - briny, funky a bit smokey and malty.Might pick up a bottle of Kilkerran 12y today, anyone tried it? Oh, and the Longrow peated also. Err, and Springbank 10. Any thoughts welcome.

My cask strength Seaweed etc. arrives tomorrow. In anticipation I’ve attempted some research and someone mentioned a marked similarity to Octomore, which I never tried. Anyone tried both and care to comment? Or know the truth of Seaweed etc’ origin?
That's not true for the standard range: the K12 is under 40 quid and the SP10 is about 40 too

and the 15 was £67 at MoM when in stock.

I noticed that with Springbank prices, 50 quid for a 10yr... Still one I want to try though.
I bought my first Seaweed CS the other day. I don't really get a lot of the medicinal side, so I wouldn't let that put you off. Really enjoying it.I have a Kilkerran 12 (and Springbank 10) on the go. A fine whisky, really well balanced, but subtle. One to start the evening with. 46%, un-chillfiltered, natural colour. good value.
I'm interested in the Seaweed.. too. The talk of Uigeadail or Bruichladdich is intriguing, but I'm put off by the medicinal suggestion (Laphroaig).
