There was a 26yo blend on MoM yesterday, finished in a maple syrup cask for £400. There’s so much wrong in that sentence it’s difficult to know where to start.

Aye I saw it haha. I try and keep an eye on their latest stuff, see if I can manage to land one of those rare ones one day. Recently I've seemingly just missed out on Weller Full Proof, C.Y.P.B. and an E H Taylor Amaranth

Delivery to the office from Whiskybroker today and delivery to home from Loch Fyne. That little lot should keep me going for a bit.

Doesn't have much of a smell to it. Unless I'm on stage 1 covid.

My dad and his mate loved it, so just ordered 3 for Christmas presents while Loch Fyne have another sale on.I'm tempted by this, has anyone given it a try?
Arran Quarter Cask The Bothy
This little cracker has had a makeover for its inclusion in the new-look Arran core range. Distilled on the island of Arran and matured for seven years in first fill bourbon barrels, this single malt is then transferred to 'Quarter Casks' that hold just 125 litres, allowing more interaction...www.lochfynewhiskies.com

I did buy a bottle and it is now down the dying embers. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Been to Campbelltown today, Springbank Distillery is closed to the public but managed to pick a bottle of their 10 up from Cadenhead's in the town, having a dram now it's absolutely lush
Did you check out the cage?

Anybody tried any of the Cotswolds Distillery releases and any recommendations? Heading down to the Cotswolds next week and may have a nosey so the gaffer can top up her gin supplies (at least that’s what I’m telling her)

Springbank cage bottles are those taken from a cask for tasting/testing purposes - all are unique. They generally range from 7 - 19yo and can be any of the 3 brands and any cask type (though bourbon casks are most frequent). They range in price from £55 - £90 dependent on the age of the whisky. They can only be purchased in person from Cadenhead Campbeltown.
I’ve got about 20 cage bottles at the moment - mostly Springbank and Hazelburn as there hasn’t been much Longrow when I’ve visited. All of the bottles I have are in the 13-17yo range with the following cask types: fresh & refill bourbon, refill sherry, fresh & refill port, burgundy and Chardonnay. Port cask Springer is the most sought after amongst cage bottles.
There would have been a new cadenhead cage also this summer if not for covid - they’ll have that in place once all the related restrictions are removed and they get more visitors.
