Didn't know it was released today. Where did you get your bottle - nothing on the internet.

Found out by chance, phone around 1pm to ask when it was due out and they said this morning. so jumped in the car and went straight over. Distillery exclusive and one per person Crying or Very sad

couldn't even pick up one for a friend that was going to pay over the phone Evil or Very Mad

Thanks JAB - just phoned but they can only sell from the distillery shop, and as I live in Milton Keynes, much as a bottle appeals, it is a tad far to drive!

I did open my Glenbridge 40 yo last night though - quite pleasant. I will have to console myself with that.

No doubt a few will appear on ebay, just need to keep an eye on it!
Think my dram 2nyt will be the 28yo from lidl
