There have been quite a few ex-laphroaig cask Ardmores released - Whiskybroker themselves issued this one late last year. I’ve not seen one before that had any sort of sherry influence, however.

I’d have gone for the Benrinnes if they hadn’t finished it in a sherry cask. Since that’s not the case I’ll go for the Aultmore and Ardmore at the foot of the list. I’d have considered the Lowland but there’s a few bottles I’d like from tomorrow’s SMWS release too.
Fairly light if the others are anything to go by. Further tempered by the sherry.

Might have a little dabble at that bottom one the Dalmore and the Aultmore
It’s a great price for a sherried Dalmore for sure.

Thinking of the bottom one myself...or the other Ardmore

I like the sound of the Blair Athol and the Lowland. What's the crack with the storage v postage?

Their website gives details...i have only bought a few from them and being impatient I just buy for instant delivery

You have the option when buying to get them delivered immediately or put into storage. Whiskybroker charge (from memory) £9.99 delivery for 1-6 bottles. So shipping for 6 bottles is exactly the same as 1 bottle. If you’re only buying 1 bottle then effectively on a £50 bottle you are paying an extra 20% for delivery.
I tend to just put mine into storage and then get them delivered 6 at a time making the shipping £1.70 per bottle instead of £9.99. Cheapskate I know
It’s fairly neutral. Has a little more flavour than vodka but not much.

Have you got bottles in the current Scotch Whisky Auction ?
Just reviewed my watch list and all malts have hit my limits on what I'd pay ( well apart from a few remaining Big Peat's)
I know shakerman has mentioned a lot of "overpriced" stuff may be o/seas buyers who can't get bottles from whisky retailers, but some of the bids
Watching a lot of Octomore...I'm out

I’ve got 15 bottles in the auction. Most of it highly sherried stuff I’m unlikely to drink and a couple of Japanese bottles. Nothing from Islay amongst mine.

I usually take a gander at the start of the auction, bid with max limits on anything I’m interested in then go back when the auction is over. Less temptation that way. However, because I’ve got bottles in the auction and check the total most evenings my discipline has waned a little on this one.
I have noticed there seem to be more bids on WhiskyAuctioneer than there were prior to SWA closing for COVID.
