Thanks @whiskytip.bsky.social for this Blair Athol. It is sherried and has digestives, coffee, chocolate orange fudge, stone fruit and a beautifully balanced haribo sours finish. Great dram, glad I waited! The RMW is minty fresh peach cobbler with a burst of pepper. #whisky

An evening I will never forget! "You must try this one". Greatest phrase in the English language 🙏

@whiskytip.bsky.social and I had a fantastic “just one more, you have to try this” evening and he kindly brought me this Ben Nevis. I don’t have much from them so it’s a very welcome addition. Now I’m having the ones we didn’t get to but talked about. #whisky

A fine selection sir.

The evening is taking a fantastic turn.

Fingers crossed

Those DL Strathearns are par excellence.

Yep, £45 and wide availability completely invalidates the £30 to £40 price for the core range 10. Obvs most don't know about this Batch Strength being on discount. There are really a lot of Islay distilleries with too much stock 'out there' at the moment.

Laphroaig 10 Year Old Cask Strength Batch 16 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl | House of Malt PLEASE NOTE: Demand on this offer is extremely high, please allow a few extra days for processing orders. The 16th batch of Laphroaig 10 Year Old Cask

Did this Laphroaig cask strength batch 16 get even cheaper?! £45 now (think was £50 before) and House of Malt do topcashback. Either way, there is a seemingly endless supply. houseofmalt.co.uk/product/laph... #whisky

Oi oi! Now, where's my glass? I misplaced it knee sliding.

If mine arrives and it touches my lips before Brian gets a whiff of it, or Andrew gets a sip - I will José Mourinho knee slide, like the Porto days.

PS boys - good luck with the deliveries.

Spent a lot in sept and oct on whisky deals and these bottles. Ah well, such is life

Nice, not tried it yet. Got sucked in by the RB Lustau and also a LL DE9 - so that's £110 spent without blinking!

Bunna 12 for £37 as well. Excellent value

Nice one Sam! That is what I was looking for. Ledaig Rioja for £28 super value. ER10 for £28.50 also superb.

Have picked the ones that are not always discounted, and yep, there continues to be good deals. I picked up a Lustau, because, well it'll always be enjoyed

Redbreast Lustau reduced to £45.99 on Amazon at the mo. Also, Scapa 10 for £40, Arran 10 for £34 and Laphroaig Lore for £59.99, Winters Gold for bout £25 (43%). Did you see anything else well priced?
