What do you guys make of this?

The inaugural box looks to contain a few interesting drams...

I've tried the 105 (at a tasting) and the Three Wood (on a tour at the Distillery) but the others are new to me...

The Glen Scotia double cask is very good ( in my opinion ) and of course the hp is ok too ..

Not something that would interest me, especially the first line up. Perhaps of interest if you are very new to whisky and haven't sampled many. Also I prefer a full bottle to get to know a whisky, it is all over too quickly with a small sample. Your money really is better spent going to a whisky tasting event IMO

Isnt this a bit like Tweet Tasting except your are paying for the privilege to take part in it and promote the whisky brands you are tasting.

If we all bought a full bottle without trying them first we would all have a few bottles sitting in a corner doing nothing.. I have been lucky enough to be involved in a few Twitter tastings and have a few lined up, I for one will also join in with these, I don't think it's too bad paying an average of £4 per sample, try going to your local and getting some of these drama for that price..

[Charlie]

I would suggest somewhere like Master of Malts if you want to try samples before buying a full bottle, I wouldn't be keen on the idea of someone deciding which samples I try.

[sorren]

You do have to remember.. You don't have to get them every month !youbuy them when they interest you.. But master of malts have a fantastic selection.

[jwbassman]

Well it's launched now - and there are some good launch deals to be had too

I think part of the reason that I really like this idea is because it will present me with drams that I probably wouldn't otherwise try - therefore broadening my whisky knowledge and experiences. There is so much whisky out there these days and I'm pretty sure there is some really good stuff that totally passes me by. I guess only time will tell

Hello chaps!

This is Chris Borrow here, I'm part of The Dram Team, and saw we had some traffic to our site from here, so thought I'd drop by and say hello, and thank you for the interest! JWbassman, appreciate you bringing us to people's attention, whoever you are!

If anyone has any questions on the business and what we've got planned/what we're doing, more than happy to expand on what you can see publicly on the site. We're still shaping our business and how it'll work and we're VERY open to feedback from whisky-fans of all sorts.

As some of you have got at above, the idea with what we're up to us to explore whisky - since some of you have a long history of whisky-intrepidness, we can't hope to cater to everyone, but we're hoping to make it a lot of fun and do interactive events like the Tweet Tasting for our subscribers to build some community about it.

For those of you that have ticked of a tonne of drams already, we have some one-off stuff we'll be doing that might be of interest. I'll say no more on that as we're not announcing it till next week, but keep an eye out

Anyway, thanks again for the interest, thanks for introducing me to this very cool website, and hope to hear from some of you.

Cheerio,

Chris

P.S. Feel free to email me directly, my contact should be shown here somewhere I believe (not the most technically gifted!)
