After the (in no particular order and I know there are several others probably worthy of mention I just didn't buy them!!!)

Glenlivet Alpha
Macallan Coronation
Ardbeg Ardbog
Balvenie 1401
Various other Feis lle festival bottlings

What's on the horizon worth buying for drinking/collecting as I'm sure I'm not alone in being a bit of a sucker for these special releases!!!

Also has anyone heard when the next glenfiddich vintage reserve is likely to make an apperence this year?

Regards Rob

Havent heard of anything special on the way, i think the summer months tend to be quiet for new releases.

i think it has gone quiet after a few special releases over the past couple of months. Diageo should probably announce their 2013 Special Releases come August.

I wonder what price the Port Ellen 2013 Special Release will be (if there is one), wasnt it £600 on release last year.

Glenfarclas are releasing a 60 year old whisky, distilled in 1953 for the Coronation.

I had heard the price will be around £5k- £6k, although I think you get a miniature with it.

Would love to have a dram but it is just a wee bit out of my price range.

The Farc 60 is £13K, you also get a HIne 58 and a couple of wooden obelisks.....

TWE have it if you want it!

The Coronation 53' bottling I have seen is different, single glass decanter in a blue box.

I'm waiting for new Batch of GlenDronach Single Cask Bottlings - their individual casks are usually released in July (with second yearly release during the winter).
