I made the opening bid (well a friend did on my behalf) on this item but didn't follow up as i'm spending a wad elsewhere. I did find a site with the Dunnottar mini's listed as Fettercairn.


ha
I managed to get reduced postage.
so it was only 14 a bottle.
Fettercarin...... great......

For 90's bottlings/ 70s distillations £30 a bottle(full size) isn't too bad!

Can't yet say. It is being shipped and I probably won't have it until Tuesday. I intend to open it on arrival and will let you know then.

One of the uttermost crucial reasons to get up in the morning is Single Malt whisky. It may be too early too drink it but people it is never too early to think about it.

Thanks for the info guys.
Been thinking about buying a 25yo Talisker but they're quite expensive.
Hoping to taste a dram soon before buying.

Let me know your thoughts Jerome

Will do. I'm expecting great things from the 25yr. Talisker 18yr is among of my favorite drams. I'm quite fond of the 10yr as well.

Douglas Laing Old & Rare Platinum Port Ellen 1979 27yo 57,1% dist. Nov. 79/ bott. Jan. 2007, 285 bottles...

Found it on the back shelf at the local wineshop and still priced like a couple of years ago and with my usual discount I walked away with it for around £188/$300/€225 which is cheap in Denmark...and apparently now also elsewhere for a DLP Port Ellen.
