Sorry to hear that John

Feel free to list your bottles on the forum or link to any you may list on ebay or wherever.

It wont seem it now but happy birthday.

Sorry to hear that John, at least if it is half expected you can prepare for it but there is nothing worse when you didnt expect it at all.

I will have a wee dram to toast your 25th tonight, hope you find something else soon.

Cheers

I would imagine it is a good time of year to list whisky on ebay with people perhaps looking for something a bit more special or collectable.

Sorry to hear about that John, i have been there a couple of times in the past. Is the Bowmore 26 an distillery bottling, the older Bowmores are usually very decent stuff, enjoy whats left of your birthday.

Very Sorry to hear the news....but chin up, who knows what around the corner.
Doubles first...why not. Dont you have alot of Bowmore if I remember past posts?




25?......trust me, may seem bleak now but try being in your 40's with serious health problems.....Youll do ok,, and I wish you luck.. You like Whisky, seems like a stable well balanced character reference to me!

Sorry to hear about your job, going by your previous posts on here you will have some collection of Bowmore, hope you get a good price for it if you do have to part with it. Hope you enjoyed a good few on your birthday.
