I enjoyed the afternoon and it was good to see you there William. My highlights were a few of the Diageo Special Releases Glen Spey 21, Auchroisk 30, Dalwhinnie 25. The Douglas Laing stall had a good Caol ila but cant remember the details. Benromach 30 excellent as usual. A very nice afternoon.

I was disappointed Ardbeg werent there with a temp Ardbeg Embassey for the launch of Ardbog.

Enjoyed the Laddie 16 which i hadnt had before, a big sweet vanilla toffe whisky. Benromach 30 was excellent. Had the Arran 16 but i prefer the 14. A nice visit to the Glenfarclas stall which the Glenfarclas 25 was the highlight. Tomatin 30 was excellent. Mackinlays Shackleton also excellent. A nice Caol ila 27 year old from the newly formed Hunter Laing.

William i also tried the Clan Denny Girvan grain 21 year old which went well the the chocolate they had at the stall. They had a nice young Cail ila also.
