No idea what’s happened with it. The auction details were listed on this page until yesterday.
If you like fruit salad chews you will like this. It’s so full flavoured it tires the palette. Really liked it when I first opened it but the more I have the more undecided I am about it. Probably need to leave it alone for a while.

Re Kilkerrans 20th anniversary there are going to be some 15yo single cask releases coming soon, also KK bottles are going to be added to the cage. Not enough spirit in wood for a slew of 20yo releases, albeit both festival KKs will be 20yos.

Kilkerran bottles already appearing in the cage

An English whisky won a top malt award this year, not sure how many various "world" awards there are mind.
Ordered a bottle to try it out anyway.
World Whiskies Awards: The Top Single Malts From Around The World

The English Whisky Co has some very good whiskies but the World Whisky Awards are of no value whatsoever. The distilleries that win are sponsors of the event. You tend to find that the majority of the award winners are newer or relatively unknown distilleries as the more reputable distilleries don’t sponsor/enter these awards.

The vast majority of awards are seemingly like this...pay for entry, pay for a big table at awards, pay for advertising in Whisky mags etc etc.
Funny enough the likes of Springbank never win these awards...they don't need to pay to enter or have a big marketing budget.
Talking English Malts it seems the craze for Bimber has lessened( even before the recent shenanigans) never had any as hype put me off but might dip toe in water at some point

Most non whisky pubs serve it in unsuitable glasses which doesn't exactly help mind...had the Ardbeg from there a few years ago( guessing the same bottle
) and can't remember owt off with it.What they charging for a 25ml measure btw ?

I paid £16 for two large glasses. Both of us drinking it said there was something not right about it

I've been holding off hoping to see the Whiskybroker Bruichladdich, but I've been tempted in with this for £79:
It's £105 everywhere else, and I've thrown in a TB Lawrie's Blend, which outstanding value at £29 (43 cheapest elsewhere) for free shipping

Aye I may try and nab a bottle of the WB Bruichladdich. Got a few online baskets I'm yet to pull trigger on
There are some decent offers in their sale page at the moment if you’re looking to fill out an order

Got that Sirens Bay last time it was on offer...not bad.
Rumours it's a peated Tobermory but tried it alongside a few Ledaig and apart from all being peated they weren't similar to each other at all.
Peated 18 year old for £54 though

Masterofmalt still get the 5 and 8 now and then.
Tyndrum are also a good bet, they've got the 8 in at the moment.
Thompson Bros SRV5 8 Year Old Blended Malt Whisky
This Thompson Bros Blended Malt is composed of carefully chosen single malt whiskies. They have all been aged for more than 8 years before being combined and rested in a 1200 litre European oak vat. This solera vat is never fully emptied, and each batch is left to gently integrate with the...

Got the Lawries blend…ok but the Thompson Bros bottle is miles better ( just to my palate mind)
