|
|
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 |

| 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. |

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 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). |
