| I just bought a bottle from smd for£59 it seems to be selling for more on eBay . Why is this ? is there a difference in value between the uk release than an overseas release? |

Cheers Sorren
I wish Waitrose would deliver single bottles as there is no store near me and they only seem to deliver in boxes of 12. When i think about it i would be worried that they discard the packaging for delivery. |

I know what you mean Waitrose online is a bit of a pain, some times they have a few good offers but thats no good unless you or the wife is a bit of a wine drinker so you can easily make the number of bottles up to 12.
However Waitrose do a few single bottle gifts where you do not need to buy 12 bottles and the delivery is free on these bottles. They are usually the more premium bottles such as Highland Park 18, Lagavulin Distillers Edition, Glenlivet 21. If you visit the Waitrose website then select whisky gifts, you will see a list of single bottles. Dont know why they didnt add the Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix to the whisky gift section. |

There did appear to be a shortage of it when it was first released, perhaps some of it is only now finding its way to the market place. |

| I would have had a bottle if it wasnt for the 12 bottle minimum. I would actually worry that they would send it without the packaging like oddbins used to do a while back. |

| I wouldnt mind getting a hold of a couple more bottles but i dont really drink wine at all. I filled out the contact us form on the waitrose website enquiring if they have any plans to add the Snow Phoenix to the whisky gift section where you can order a single bottle. Worth a try. |

| Got a reply this morning from Waitrose, they said they have no palns to add the phoenix to the single bottle whisky gift section, it was worth a try. |
