That’s what I’ve been told. Haven’t heard much about the bottle other than the price

It's a 16 (or 17yo) triple distilled I think. Seems a fair jump from £90 last year for 70cl

I like the sound of that SB but not parting with £200 for a 35cl. HB + the 2 from Cadenhead's if I can be arsed to ride down. Might just wait until the Friday as I'm down then anyway

The Caol Ila's are back up on the Whiskybroker site if anyone missed out.
I suspect the SB 24yo Festival bottle will still be available to buy post festival. It’s not terrible but there’s some soapiness on the finish. I certainly won’t be buying more than one. The Longrow and Hazelburn are good though.

Just opened that Whisky Barrel 15 year old Highland Park…well worth the £55 ( noticed now £90) as @shakerman suggested possibly misspriced ?
Looking at their site and a few of their WB exclusives seem worth a look

Good to hear I bagged two.
I'll get one uncorked when a slot on the opened shelf comes up.

Not amazing, but certainly given a 15 yr old cask strength HP good value

I’m in and out of tastings all day bud. I’m also having dinner with some of the guys behind WhiskyNerds before they fly back to the Netherlands.
If you’re buying any festival bottles get the Kilkerran - best of the lot imo and the best KK I’ve tried minus the Taiwan 15yo Madeira.
It’s something they regularly do. As the stock dwindles the price swiftly escalates.

I'm a bit of an amateur peaty whisky lover but not really stepped outside the mainstream - probably due to being tight.
Is the Longrow recommended as a standard bottle or any special edition?
It’s difficult to get hold of most Springbank releases except Kilkerran 12 which is certainly some worth trying. Ledaig, Ballechin, Ardmore, Ruadh Mhor and most Islay whiskies are all worth a try.
Most of the The English Whisky Co releases are peated too and worth exploring. Alternatively some blends such as Big Peat and Smokehead can be very decent.

I've just finished a bottle of Ardmore and enjoyed it.
Will slip one of those names on the borthday list for their lass (no)
@black-cat the Cadenhead Bruichladdich is also worth a purchase if there’s any left. Much better than I expected.

I promised myself I’d spend more modestly at this years festival. I evidently lied.
