I get the feeling they are pushing them closer to the Christmas panic buyers.

Yeah they know they may struggle now so put them out later when people will be willing to pay a bit more it being xmas.

But surely they can't be putting it back and back.

Who's saying that Les? I haven't found it hard to pre-order. It is the black bottle by the way.

I wasn't questioning that the delivery had been put back Les i've had that info from elsewhere. I was just wondering who was telling you that the Octomore was sold out.

I know Oddbins are struggling to fulfill their pre orderd woth the allocation they are expecting to get. TWE i also believe have sold their allocation.

Everyone should get it in, but delaying release is only building suspence for me.

Sorry Willie I was commenting that the LFW site was saying that there allocation has Pre-sold. I wasn't sure whether or not to get one of these. But with Rob''s comments as well. It's looking difficult. So perhaps the decision is made for me. :(

I doubt it Les. Talk to your local Oddbins and they may be able to secure one. There will be other opportunities also I'm sure.

Willie I'd love to, all the Oddbins in this area have been closed. Central London is a local Oddbins now.
