Bigger than you...
Bunna 12 isn't meant to be spectacular; it's just a bloody good drinker
And on another note; it's weeks since I touched a drop; my head needs checking!

I can’t believe you haven’t noticed but the advantage of liking Talisker is that the 10yo is frequently for sale at £30.

Looked at that one myself but too similar to the Confit Orange I've got
I'm enjoying the Chivas Regal 15 year old this evening, it's very suppable

Today we went to the Oyster Shed for lunch and then to the Talisker shop. All seemed a bit RRP and I declined purchases having already splurged on a couple of bottles of the Torabhaig earlier in the week after the pretty decent tour.

Turns out Mossburn are owned by the Dutch Marussia Beverages, who are in turn owned by a Swedish holding company Haydn Holding AB...so not quite as warm and fluffy as you might think.
I also fancied a trip over to Raasay to hunt down a bottle or two of their new stuff but been outvoted 3 to 1

I got a bottle of that in one of the online ballots but haven't opened it. The bottle is a particularly nice one.

I just bought one from Sprits Kiosk at slightly inflated £53 delivered.

Agree about the bottle - excuse to the Mrs "oo isn't the bottle lovely"

Popped in to Ben Nevis in Fort William on the way back. Was hoping they might actually have some of their own gear in the shop. They said the 12 is being rebranded and the 10 is at the bottling plant. Or it may well be the other way round. Quite like the old fashioned labels so hope they don't mess that or the contents up...and hope they're not just saying that to play for time as so much of their stuff goes in to Nikka.
Bought a bottle of Glencoe 8 at £36.

Coming back via Stirling so had a look in the Deanston shop. Some interesting looking single cask strength exclusives in the 10 to 14 yo range but they were £120. In 20cl bottles for £35. Also a bottling called Decades with 1977, 90s and 2011 distillation. 46% and £85.
They had the Bunnahabhain Feis Isle bottles as well.
The clock was ticking and with one eye on the bank account I walked out empty-handed. Eurgh.
