New addition to the core range. 8yo & £43. Hmm.

Yes the "Hmm" was shorthand for "a bit overpriced that methinks".£20 more and you get their stunning 15YO... Worth bearing in mind IMO

You better grab the 15 if you can find it as I suspect the price is about to go up...the 12 is £48 at a lot of places and the new 8 is a signal to move the range up in price IMO...maybe I'm just being paranoid.
Amazon have Clynelish 14 at a decent price at the moment. Indeed at £35 it could step neatly into the shoes that Arran 14 used to occupy in my roster.
I might up my order to a case.
More along soon I'd guess...may be wrong but don't think Whisky Exchange, Royal Mile or House of Malt have "new released" it yet.Now sold out.
I was disappointed in my Clynelish 14. Generic. None of the famed waxiness and only a flash of marmalade.
Yes they are cheap and I suspect delicacy is not my strong suit so YMMV.Will be interesting to try it then, my recollection is something outstanding but I cant recall what exactly.
I’m also starting to appreciate what you get from these Diageo blend fillers. For one they are cheap
But, certainly with Caol Ila, the lack of brashness and delicacy of the “dullness” Is quite refreshing.

Thanks for the nod.Speaking of which:
Deal of the day: Caol Ila 12 Years Old

Cheers, but I wasn’t after one, just noting that Glenallachie seems to be becoming one of those distilleries whose releases are snapped up PDQ.I was disappointed in my Clynelish 14. Generic. None of the famed waxiness and only a flash of marmalade.

That's good...I have an unopened bottle. Good vfm.I recently opened a Craigellachie 14 yo from whiskybroker. Initially it was so peppery, burny and alcohol hot that I thought i would have to choke it down with a mixer or add it to something else but thankfully after some air it has settled down quite considerably and is very approachable. I hope it continues to get better. Perfectly fine sherry dram.
I have the same though haven’t opened it yet. Even my Springbank 15 isn’t great straight out of the bottle. It needs some air but more importantly a small splash of water..then it sings. I love the tunes we can play getting malt to taste great.I recently opened a Craigellachie 14 yo from whiskybroker.
