Whisky

[Euan]

My birthday present to myself turned up.

2 bottles of Seaweed and Aeons; 1 bottle of Glen Scotia 15 and 1 bottle of Deanston Virgin Oak.

"Oh thank you very much. You are too kind."
"Think nothing of it. You're worth it."
"Would you like to try one?"
"Oh I really shouldn't but if you insist...."

Sorry... One?!

Maybe three. But they were small ones, Honest.

If MoM put the Seaweed on offer again I'm scuppered...

It’s a big, robust mouthful. I’ll leave you to read what Malt said about it. My impression is that if you like the Talisker range, you’ll probably like this.

[Weekender]

Yeah looks a great value blend that.

Lots of offers on their own label That Boutiquey over at the MoM flash sale. Factor in they are only 50cl. I am of course in full denial due to my reduced circumstances. They have a fiver off the sherried Seaweed cask strength but my will is iron...

New addition to the shelf. Popped onto the High Street earlier and got sucked into the local indy bottle shop and couldn't resist the alluring green box. Wee bit more than the (currently sold-out) MOM price but good to be supporting the locals, eh..

Re: Campbeltown, a pal brought round his Glen Scotia Double Cask t’other day. Prob not in the same league as Springbank but it was very nice and spicy.

 

[Weekender]

Well regarded that Double Cask...as is most of Glen Scotia's output.

I still bought one.

 

[Weekender]

I
Can't.

I'll likely have to kill some time in Speyside tomorrow, waiting for the house purchase to be settled so I can pick up the keys. Given the number of distilleries with shops in the area, as well as the Whisky Castle shop with it's 600 different whiskies, it could get expensive if I get bored!

 

[robs]

I
Can't.

Don't think they charge you until it's dispatched...

The wife and I are driving down from Inverness to Pitlochry later this month, does anyone have a Speyside distillery recommendation or two, maximum two , on the A96/A95 route,

If you're going to Pitlochry, you have to visit Edradour, and just round the corner, Aberfeldy

However, the Speyside distilleries are much further up
