I quite liked last year's 28 :oops: , but then I'm easily pleased.

Was there anything different about this year's bottling to explain the improvement, Mark? Is it still at 40%?

For me last year's needed a bit of time on the palat to open up where this year's straight from the nose and immeadiate palate was welcoming, the more apparent too.

Cheers!

I guess it will be a little easier to find than a Glenbridge today.

I see someone has got a couple of bottles of Maxwell on Ebay for £100 each.

The item description says,

"An Exceptional Single malt at a very reasonable price
Other Whiskey of this age retail at up to £160 / 70ml"

Marvellously optimistic.

I agree. I like the Maxwell, and it is fine for £35, but if I was going to spend £100, the options over Maxwell are endless.

You would hope no one would fall for such nonsense.
