Not sure your budget but this is really good stuff
Yeah I've got a bottle open at the minute and it's canny. Be aware mind, it's a struggle to pronounce when you need the missus to get it from the whisky cabinet.
I bought a bottle from Amazon, I'm glad I only got one
tried it last night. Insipid doesn't even begin to describe it. Tasted like it had been watered down x4. Easily the worst whisky I have ever tasted.
It's a shame that Deanston released this. I like them as a Distillery, but this wasn't a great offering.I bought a bottle from Amazon, I'm glad I only got one
Poured the rest straight down the sink.
Bought one at £12…don’t even plan to try it on its own.
I’d hope not given my liking for Tobermory.
And Bunna…i fear for both to be honest
I find peat aged in red wine casks is an amazing marriage, agree it could possibly depend on aging entirely in cask rather than being finished in oneI’ve previously struggled with red wine cask finishes but I’ve just cracked open an Australian Starward Fortis matured in American oak casks previously holding Australian red wine and throughly enjoyed it right from the neck pour.
Not something I’d ever have bought myself (it was a club bottle). Not sure if the difference is that this one has been fully matured in red wine casks rather than just finished in them but looking forward to the rest of the bottle now
Looks like there’s going to be a 21yo release before the end of the year. If the auction prices over the last couple of days are any indicator, it’s going to be very difficult to acquire.
Noticed prices across the board at bottles I've been looking at last couple of days at auction have gone up another level, wonder if it's a Christmas thing hopefully settle back down in the new year.
Might be worth making the trip to acquire one if that's the case. Would really appreciate a heads up when it's due to drop if you'd be so kind
