Some interesting drams on the next Cadenheads release. I'll be reserving the Glencadam & Staoisha. Can't make my mind up on the Jura, never yet had one I enjoyed (although not tried many), the Manzanilla finish doers sound interesting though.

Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
£70.00
Rich dark fruits, decadent red velvet cake followed by a hint of cocoa.

Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
£150.00
A deliciously creamy dram with sweet melon and honeycomb notes.

Glencadam 10yo 61.2%
Bourbon Barrel

Inchgower 13yo 58.3%

A nutty start to this dram makes way for notes of freshly roasted coffee and rich milk chocolate.

Manzanilla hhd since March 2021

£65.00
Sweet notes of cola cubes work in harmony with the salty savoury nature of this dram.

Fresh and creamy with a hint of spice, this whisky has adopted typical Fino cask characteristics.

When out ? I'd fancy trying the jura or glencadam
 
I’ve. O idea why it’s being sold through SWA, but there’s a Whiskybroker available for £49. Only 79 bottles.
Sounds like the one I bought at the Newcastle Indy fest. A lovely dram but I paid £80 for it 🤷‍♂️

Edit - just checked mine was a first fill bourbon cask this looks like a sherry cask.

Opened a couple of new bottles tonight
Green spot and Timerous Beastie 18.
First spot whiskey i've tried ( l've a bottle of the blue spot tucked away) well worth the £36 i paid .
Really impressed with the beastie lovely milk chocolate finish to it would buy again if available

Cheers, got one.

Expensive day, went for the 2x Wormtub 10 deal on Master of Malt with a Thomson Bros blend for free shipping. Ouch.
 
Bump! Amazon Prime day, any of the deals worth purchasing in our experts view?

Smokehead
Aberlour 14 year old
Highland Park 46% viking
Bushmills 10year
Glenlivet 12 year
Chivas Regal 13 year blended
Slane

The above caught my eye, but a fair few others. Obviously ignored things like 7% discount, looking at the big savers cos I'm cheap.
As the last few years not much grabbed me…out of that lot the Glenlivet illicit still is ok, added abv helps.
I’ve only bought the Naked Malt ( 19.99 ) which will do for MIL when over at Xmas, the 40% and easy sipping will suit her.
