I did enjoy this when I first opened it, but time has not been good. Personally I think the 12 is better:
Value, Flavour and accessibility.
But it is still a decent dram. It’s just too far north of my spend limit.

Probably the best core range peated whisky available.
Excellent value.
Superb taste.

2nd dram & well happy after a draw against the league leaders, 2 goals against the gunners, who else can claim that this season?

The Ardbeg Malt Vault doesn’t sound cheap!
Gimmick or sublime marketing?

I missed the chance of this local offer, apparently the queues to grab them were as expected.
But what this shows once again is that the markup (if it isn’t loss making) is part of the reason the industry is in downturn.
Would love to try a whisky advent calendar, they are just too expensive.

Looking forward to trying it this evening when my brother comes around.
I do appreciate that #WolfburnDistillery offer 35cl bottles.

Two amazing Irish whiskeys recently finished.
The #PowersJohnsLane is definitely going to be a repeat purchase.
The #DingleIrishWhiskey should be a core bottle. Amazing stuff. @whiskygraham.bsky.social did a fantastic job with that one.

Doing my bit so that you don’t need to experience the horror of it
In short it’s like an over malted Horlick’s on the nose & Horlicks made with baileys instead of milk (or water if you are criminally insane) on the palate
£3.49 in Aldi was about £3 too much the 49p is because it is still alcohol

I’ve not tried a #Bimber in a while, so thanks to my whisky friend for sending some of the samples he received.
Using a @dunphaildistillery.bsky.social glass in lieu of a @bimberdistillery.bsky.social glass.

Replacement bottle has arrived 😍
I honestly think this may be my favourite core range whisky.
Going to scratch the card and if it’s £20 then I may have to get another bottle!

Nanbab on route so it’s time for a Desert stout, these can be too sickly & get too sweet, but this just manages to be at the precipice before falling into a sickly sweet saturated scenario…
