They quite often don’t release 100% of their stock in one go so it’s always worth monitoring if you’ve missed something you wanted.

Limited myself to one bottle...just about to replace my turbo trainer and spending far more than initially thought I was going to.

Will therefore resist WB on Monday even if they're cracking value

What are people drinking tonight then ?

Redbreast Irish. Not sure of 12 or 15 yet . Just a couple of small ones for nose and sip. ;)

Not selected a lineup this evening but starting with a 22yo Caperdonich and a 24yo Glenburgie. How about you?

I was going to buy the Blair Athol from WB but didn't due to the red wine cask. What difference will that make to the taste?

Usually adds red berries to the nose and palette and often a drier, oakier finish. Occasionally can add sulphur notes.

The Caperdonich is this one. People are asking silly money for it on whiskybase given what it retailed at. Caperdonich is an interesting distillery, has a unique mustard fruit character which I really like.

I only buy to drink never to flip or as an investment...... but I'm honestly tempted to start offloading some of my own bottles at these prices!

Yes. As said previously. Now have 9 years worth of whisky and bourbon to toast my parents on special occasion like birthdays, memories.

Cheapest was £48 and most expensive was £100.

Normal drinks are between £20 and £40
 
My bottles are presently collectively going for £8k more than I expected.

I have a few very decent bottles though I don’t really keep them for special occasions - I usually crack them with friends. The exception is 1 bottle I’m keeping for my 50th, though that’s a few years away yet.
