  • Got this from the GF, am going to drink a couple very soon, so I can figure out which one tickles my Ickles, as there's the possibility I'll be in Japan in the new year and I can bring back a couple of big people bottles.

    Probably will be the Coffey grain whiskey and two others as I tried it in black rock and liked it immensely..

    Got something similar from my better half over Christmas and have ended up buying a bottle of Nikka from the Barrel off the back of it. Amazing drink.

    @killerstraight Seconded on Bullring (Selfridges ?) and the Whisky Shop in the Great Western Arcade being expensive. Better off buying the usual suspects from supermarkets, and anything more exotic from the internets

  • correct. I was in Birmingham for the weekend so thought i would have a look. Good choice of stuff but all over priced. Managed to get the Hibiki for £24 less. Have yet to taste it but might tonight.
    Had a look in my local shop which has been selling whiskey (whisky) and other since 1929 again good selection and the gentlemen inside was very knowledgeable and helpful but I saw things online cheaper.

  • as with all things, if you're going to use a bricks and mortars shops expertise and knowledge, its common courtesy for you to buy something from them every so often, rather than always hitting the cheaper online spaces. Its good to give back to those that have helped you out..
