| As above. The Whisky Barrel have bottles of 21 Year old cask strength, single cask Bunnahabhain celebrating the Jubilee for £65. Seemed like a good investment especially as all the other celebratory ones are ridiculous money. Its a pretty good price regardless so it wasn't too hard a decision. Should anyone else want one, be quick as I don't think they will be around long. |

Interestingly it looks like they are offering "Free Worldwide Shipping on this" and if you are overseas you would pay the VAT so it would be £54.16 |

| Probably just the standard Bunnahabhain distillation which has a very low peat level and has been matured in a sherry cask. I see that it is Bunnahabhain 21 year old Diamond Jubilee Malt "II". so is the 2nd batch of this, not sure it sold out in a matter of hours either, i am sure they have been selling it all last month so not flying off the shelf. I have seen that wardrobeofwhisky site it catches me as a marketing website which will tell you all is good as its sole purpose appears to be to sell whisky and make money, i dont see it as an indie blog. |

| Yeah the first one was limited to 90 bottles and this is 200. It's kind of just jumping on the band waggon i know with the jubilee but I figure its still worth it and won't go down in value. If in a few years it doesn't seem like it will be worth anything I'll just drink it. Every which way but lose! |

| Darn I didn't check quidco first! I have an account too and am actually using the cashback I was just paid to buy it. How dumb am I? |

You win some you lose some! It's less than £4 so no biggie. I recently changed my account with Santander and assumed, as I was a customer already, I wouldn't get cashback - I should have checked as I missed out on £40. That would buy a nice malt by itself.! _________________ "Whisky is liquid sunshine."

You can buy the same whisky (check the cask number!) over at whiskybroker for much less - £42. If I am not mistaken, Whisky Barrel bought these bottles from Martin.

Look on the bright side, you can probably afford another one for drinking now.  |
