Hahaha, can't make any sense of it yet mind. Just telling myself that one day I'll be pleased I went through with it.
Nearly popped at another n'all, the Loch Lomond one? But happy with those 2. I love Bunna so that'll be a keeper for a special occasion and the HP sounded really interesting from the write up so why not?

I’d possibly have gone for the HP but I bought this 10yo refill Manzanilla cask HP from RMW earlier today.

Sounds good. Funny cos I'm not a fan of bog standard HP but I know of a few who are (for whatever reason) so when I was reading the write up on chorlton about the unusual interaction with the cask and the flavour profile etc I just thought fuck it, gonna give it a go.
The Bunna sounds good too, although it's more expensive than I'd normally shell out. Not a great deal more expensive than their standard 18yo offering though really and a whole lot rarer so looking forward to cracking that open one day ☺
I find IB HP bottlings suit my palette way more than the OB. The Bunna sounds great to be honest but already bought a 30yo Glendronach this month and that has blown my budget.

I didn't buy owt mate, had an Arran 25 in my basket twice and decided against it both times. That and the fact I've always fancied trying a chorlton release... tried to get my hands on their Ledaig not too long ago but wasn't gonna pay secondary prices. And another thing, it's f***ing CHRISTMAS!!Bunna sounds great as does the 30 yr old Glendronach
didn’t buy much the Black Friday week( apart from a few bottles from Whisky.NL) so might wait to see what Whisky Broker releases are.
Probably get the 16 year old Lidl Islay...£35 worth a pop regardless

Think it's @Cee Jay who's into Glenfarclas isn't it...?

Do like their 105 and 15 yr old...the travel retail 12 yr old is a good value sipper as well.
As an aside Amazon have Port Charlotte heavily peated at £43 which is the lowest for a while

It looks like a 25 yo Tobermory didn't last long on Whiskybroker prior to selling out.

what were/are the new releases ?
the other is the Blair Athol

I'm gutted about the Tobermory as it is one of my favourites and I'd checked the site at least a couple of times earlier today. As @shakerman has posted the other new release is a Blair Athol.

I've got a red wine barrique release from Whiskybroker on the go and it's perfectly acceptable (needs a bit of water for me) but will be nothing like the current offering. Mostly ends up in Bells blends apparently which does nothing to recommend it.
Hit and miss like most distilleries. I’d say orchard fruits and a slight nuttiness are their typical flavour profile.
