I think the bars are open (which is my brother's main concern), so that should be ok. I was hoping to tour some of the places I've not made it to yet - Bruichladdich and Bunnabhain being the main...
Had enough confidence to book the ferry to Islay in July today. Just five days, and none of the distilleries are even open for tours yet, but keeping an eye open every day for when they allow...
Sounds lovely. We're looking forward to July - house booked on Islay with 4 mates to do the same thing.
£32, surely?
I reckon they've put out those NDEs just so we realise how good the 10YO actually is!
Haha, glad to see someone agrees with me.
It was my brother who got me a bottle. He phoned me at about midnight a few weeks ago just to tell me he'd found his favourite whisky in the whole World,...
I'm in two minds about whether to post this - I need to let everyone know how unbelievably good this is, but I've also heard that it was a limited edition and therefore bottles will be hard to get...
I don't get the issue people have with other people's opinions. You don't have to be offended by them or take them as fact.
Some great deals on Game of Thrones branded overstock: Talisker, Oban and Lagavulin all around 40% off.

Having a dram of my all-time favourite whisky tonight to celebrate new job.
I'm usually a super smoky Islay kinda guy, but these Murray McDavid bottlings of the...
Jura is swill though. You couldn't pay me £22 to drink a bottle of the stuff.
How they can keep getting it so consistently wrong is beyond me. It must be on purpose.
Ardbeg have recently focussed on the younger bottlings, making a much stronger and more heavily peated whisky. As I can see from your choices there, you've gone for the older Lagavulins, which will...
I did that tour ten years ago, and it was just as crap then.
My favourite part was where the video at the beginning kept affirming the importance of the distillery's location in the highland...
It's good stuff. I've done the tour there, very nice. Decent facility down by the Teith. They've been making whisky for blending for years, only recently started producing more of their own branded...
Yeah, Milroys are doing that too. Not sure if their shop is open again yet, but it's a bit of a trek for me anyway these days. When I used to work up in London regularly I was a pretty regular...
I was once on a flight to Pakistan with my Father and his colleague (both work for the airline, so we were flying 1st Class), where we decided to try every whisky they had on board as a taste test -...
It's a bit early in the day for most, but I admire your enthusiasm.
I'm deliberately running my stocks down - rediscovering things at the back of the shelf that I'd forgotten about. Last night I...
I did the distillery tour a couple of years ago. Certainly one of the more interesting ones, well worth a visit.
Well you should. Ardbeg 10 YO is only £37, year round.
So, the same price as it is on Amazon, year round?
Yes there is. Tesco Value is the cheapest of the cheap. I once had to fall back on it as it was the only thing left in the shop at midnight and we were in the middle of a game of poker. I've never...
Be prepared to have to explain the Solera vat process to everyone you share it with, though!
To be fair, it's £23 most of the year on Amazon anyway.
We did the Storm Pods as well, we were one of the first back in 2013. Lovely having a swim each morning in the bay - there was a seal that kept checking I wasn't a beached whale!
