When is a deal not really a deal? Most expensive ‘original’ price ✅ Sale price matches a supermarket price ✅ If only they knew about google search And you have to pay delivery 🤷🏻♂️

1st whisky this evening is the new Glen Scotia. This is amazing stuff, tasty and great value. If you haven’t tried it, you need too. We have company this evening, John is about to try it for the first time. I’m interested to hear his thoughts.

This won’t be cheap. But my main question, it says bottled Sept 2025 - either a mistake or if correct, why take so long to launch it?

The upcoming 2025 special release of Teaninich Single Grain 8 Year Old (Rye) bottled at 60.3% & rumoured to be £110 with no 20cl option, matured in ex-bourbon. Interesting as I didn’t realise Teaninich also did grain 🤨 Still no press release from Diageo about the distillery being mothballed.

Sad to hear that Teaninich (Alness) has been mothballed, while Diageo hasn’t made a formal announcement, staff have already been relocated, some to nearby Glen Ord. (Source: Speaking to people in Alness & Dalmore area & Muir of Ord.)

It would have been really easy for Glen Scotia to have charged £50+ for their new 12 Year Old, but they didn’t. I think £45 is a reasonable and considerate price. Other distilleries should take note. The market has changed.

There was a time when a Daftmill would be ballot only, but times have changed. One time I would be in the ballot, but times have changed. My money is less available than ever before & I am a lot more choosy where I spend it. At £105 TBH it was never in the running.

According to the email only 120 would be initially released, however, Master of Malt are selling it… as an exclusive! Is this a case of lack of accurate info from Scotia? I’ll find out what it tastes like tomorrow (hopefully 😉)
