There is a danger in consuming a large volume of whiskey in a place that's willing to sell you more Well over double the amount I've ever paid for a bottle before, but it was the last one they had, and the one we were tasting was the 89, non-cask strength which blew me away, I'm very excited to try this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Nicholls and Perks of Stourbrdge, a very old high quality wine merchant that can probably get any bottle from anywhere, they stock Tomatin. www.nickollsandperks.co.uk/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meath_Villan Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Slane whiskey, ....made up the road from me ...never tried it before as I followed it's journey from the get go and didn't like initially that they just rebranded another whiskey with their label....but a big tie in with Jack Daniels and the building of their own distillery I caved in and bought a bottle .....and I have to say very very nice .....and I've drank many a whisky/whiskey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One to save for special occasions I think nothing wrong with spending big money on whisky. the best stuff costs. and the cask strength stuff you need to add a drop of water to anyway really so makes it last longer the above looks a bit peaty for my taste though still working through my tamdhu 15 myself and just bought a bottle of fettercairn 12 which is a decent dram for the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Everyone always bangs on about Asahi, they are wrong. Get Sapporo instead. It’s miles better and comes in the best tin ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Purity have got a special edition 1982 cup final design for purity pale. Beautiful can, and a solid if unremarkable beer. Too rich for my blood though, I think they're taking the piss, but sharing in case anyone else is tempted https://puritybrewing.com/product/purity-pale-82-european-cup-anniversary-case-12x440ml-cans/ You'll get about twice as many of their cans from a supermarket for that kind of money, but it is very pretty Edited May 26, 2022 by Davkaus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is generally the place I gravitate to, when i need a scoop after a days graft. The slightly higher prices, combined with the Briar Rose ('Spoons) nearby, keeps the plebs out Edited May 26, 2022 by Xela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
