@Catogrande I am talking his purchases as well...$150 bottle is top dollar for me haha
-
Hmmm. Yes. A little over £70. I think £50 duty free is about the most I've paid.

Currently in the throes of planning my Europe trip in mid-September including 9-10 days in Scotland. Trying to build my trip around a couple of whisky tours. Looks like I might end up renting a car and staying in Dufftown so I can do the Balvenie tour (and just get on the piss in that town that night).

@Smudge
Are you going to be in the South West at all? -
@Catogrande Of England?

@Smudge Yes
Afraid not. Going to spend a couple of nights in London on my way back from going to a big horse race in France on 1 October but that's it.
-
Tried the balvenie Caribbean 14. Have to say I prefer the 12 double wood which is an excellent whisky imho.
-
Not a huge whisky drinker these days - generally have something special around Christmas though. This is on my shopping list...
-
I enjoy an Abelour, not sure I’ve had that one though. A report in due course would be appreciated.

Aberlour is my favourite tipple, but my whisky consumption is only 2-3 bottles a year.
I have a tradition of opening an interesting/unusual one on December 1 to start Christmas off, so you'll have to wait for a report.
-
December just about qualifies as “in due course”.

I just bought a bottle of Craigellachie 13YO. I'm interested to see how it is
I’ve had it. It’s pretty strong as in fiery/burning. Not my favourite but has character.

This is a bargain,

You have refined taste, sir. That is one of my favorites and at a very good price.

There is a suggestion that this one should be kept in the freezer. I tried that and then decided “nah.”
