Whisky / Whiskey / Bourbon

My whisky auction is now over, Macallan sold for £2605 which I'm happy with, Auchantoshan for £60 and thought it would have done a little more, SMWS went for £61 which is as expected

Good price for the Macallan, supposedly the Chinese are a big fan of that particular house, which explains a lot!

Just had confirmation from auction house. I was expecting all sorts of charges to be deducted from my total but not so. The total deductions from my 4 lots were a paltry £28.38 which is an amazing deal. More money in my pocket... When I dropped the whisky at the auction house their eyes lit up telling me they had at least two clients looking for that particular bottle, so that probably helped

Bloody hell, that's better than ebay, lol, good effort!

I'm at a Bourbon fest as a complete newb... owt I should look out for?

Delighted with the auction site I used which was https://www.just-whisky.co.uk Payment directly into my bank in 10 days (they guarantee payment within 21 days) Great company to deal with, answer emails very quickly and no rip-off extortionate fees so very happy to recommend them if you're looking to sell whisky

this likely to be delicious/worth anything?

Dunno about worth, but I've never had a bad dram from Campbeltown.

.

I like Campbeltown whiskies but I once had a bottle of Glen Scotia that tasted like somebody had pissed into the vat. Did some checking, seems a lot of people had the same reaction. Threw it away.

Someone just beat me to it :(

Gotta get myself some Heaven s Door

suggestions please, cousins and I finished all my whisky last night

I had a Dalwhinnie Winter's Gold, a Laphroaig quarter cask and a Monkey shoulder triple cask. want to get 3 bottles that are slightly different, but good and not too expensive c.£30-50 per bottle let's say.

What's some good suggestions? one needs to be peaty.

Benromach 10 should be one

Winter's Gold is one of my favs. Finished my Xmas bottle and I followed it with a Strathisla 12yr old which I enjoyed a lot and have just opened a Welsh Pederyn which on fist taste is quite pear drop with tobacco. Both from supermarkets so at the low end of your price range.

Wild Turkey in Tesco just now £16 perfect for my growing addiction to Manhattans

Redbreast 12

thanks for suggestions. did a bit of reading and think I might restock with Benromach, Strathisla and a Lagavulin 16 for the peatz. not a huge drinker, so as long as the cousins don't come by, this should last me for ages, last 3 bottle restock was in November..

Ditch the Strathisla and get Green Spot or Redbreast 12 and you'll be golden (and you get a bit of Irish variety).

or that! I'll give it a look

Thanks all

Winter's Gold is one of my favs

lovely isn't it. it was a gift, and it was the giftor's dad's favourite too.

Has anyone had a go on the Shackleton blend that's out?

Was just about to recommend a Lagavulin 16 for the peaty bottle.

There has been a glitch in the matrix tonight, as earlier I opened a bottle!

nice! I'm excited to try it

Lagavulin 16 is unpeatable

ahem
