Brora 30 yo Chieftain's for US

Postby bpbleus » 19 Apr 2012, 20:10

Brora 30 yo 1981(?)-2012 from sherry bottled at cask strength by Chieftain's for K&L (1/4 cask), Binny's (1/2 cask) and some other US retailer (1/4 cask).

Did anyone try this one?

Thanks!

i've refrained from calling binny's to ask about this one ever since they mentioned it in the whisky hotline. but i can't resist asking you: how much are they (and k&l) charging for it?

$250, both of them, but K&L sold out before it hit the store. Binny's expects to have it around for a while. I tell you this so that you'll ponder a bit longer and thereby increase your odds of missing out and saving money.
