There's a very good chance of that. ;)

You mean people actually want to drink this and not put it on eBay the next day???

Any chance you can reserve me a bottle?
Is it one per visitor?

Favourite Whiskies: Glenfiddich (especially 15yo), Balvenie, Mortlach, AnCnoc. And many, many others. Prefer Speysides. I usually have 15-20 bottles open - so not really a collector. More of an explorer.

You'll be there, no?

Probably two per person.

Yes I'll be there but can never be sure I'll get time away from the stand. More help this weekend, so should be OK.

Robbie's Drams from Ayr will be selling there. Yes, we had to go to Ayr to get a decent retailer for a Glasgow event. But not next year!

Mark,

Thoroughly enjoyed yesterday, forgot all about the Festival Bottling, too many distractions, did it sell out? Any bottles left?
