Shouldn't have really but Amazon have got Smokehead for £18.25 including a 10% voucher and 15% S&S.
I'm currently going through a bottle of their Rum Cask and it's good, so I can't go wrong for £18 surely?

Just back from Dalwhinnie distillery and picked up a bottle of Strathmill single malt. Any one know if it’s any good?
Impossible to say, there are so many Strathmill bottlings available that more detail would be required to determine which it was. That said, I can't say I've had a Strathmill in a long time - the expressions I have tried have tended to be quite delicate and offer a hay/grass flavour profile. If you search for the bottle on whiskybase, there may be reviews of it.
.
Serge's review of the Diageo special release Lagavulin 12 proved too tempting to resist, even if the price brings bile to the throat.

That's a canny mark, what was the damage on it
£128 on TWE

If you find it to be as good as Serge I suppose it's not a totally crazy price as long as you ignore the age.
I'm not in tune with him on a lot of distilleries but I usually find him spot on for Clynelish/Brora and Lagavulin.

I've bought a few on the back of his reviews over the years and never been disappointed.

He likes the Talisker 8 release, 91 points at £90 on TWE. The £100 barrier is nosebleed territory for me.

It is a lot for an 8 yr old.
I need to draw the purse strings a bit. On top of all the Springbank stuff, already picked up a Ledaig 26 and Caperdonich 25 from the SMWS 15% off promotion and an IB blood tub Waterford from my ‘October’ whisky spends.

I'm debating wether to go for the Glentauchers 31 Chorlton release its a distillery I've never tried, and maybe the ledaig 12.

He is also a fan of the Ben Nevis 10 which at £50 is more in my league.

Off to Blair Athol on Saturday with @bernardbresslaw doing the managers tasting tour, anyone done it and does the shop stick anything good ?
Glentauchers can be great. Behind Springbank/Kilkerran it's probably the distillery I have the most bottles from.
