Sounds like there are more whiskies to come after this one. |

I am sure it will be a very nice whisky as others say i would like to read some reviews before splashing out. Interesting that it is going to be part of some sort of series. |

Hi my hubby is buying this whisky from the distillery shop for someone in south scotland so can easily ask what he thinks of the whisky and let you know, told that they are only getting in 120 bottles into the shop, as said cost is £90 and pity it isn't available in the staff list, could have got a discount  |

| I am not sure it actually sells on ebay for these prices, it may just be a case that some chancers are attempting to sell them for these prices. |
