after fake whisky on bbc this Monday not sure if it was a repeat
a slightly dodgy glendronach parliament 21 year old on
I say this it was for sale on shpock for £60.00 without the box hindsight maybe to cheap
after talking to the seller who said it was on ebay I couldn't find it I wasn't happy with the photos
it was eventually taken off somebody mentioned fake he said it wasn't I had a look at the capsule and it didn't sem right so beware

Personally I'd never buy whisky this way. I only ever buy from reputable shops (online and offline). It doesn't stop the risk but minimises it greatly.
It's something you're consuming. Chances taken for the sake of a few quid just aren't worth it.

If people are now been duped when they buy daily sippers then the whisky world is really in a very shit state.
I have had this happen to me so I know how crap it feels

it would have caught most people out the labels looked good
it was when Iooked around at capsule I noticed it was different if I hadn't I could have got caught
as you say we are in the * we are just getting deeper with the siily prices

The labels will be original I am sure, what you would have is a re filled bottle with a cheap blend and some new foil on it, I have also seen fakes that have had the foil sprayed to look like the right colour. In whisky just like everything else the old adage `if it look too good to be true` etc is a good one to remember, there are 100`s of sharks out there.

i couldn't see the capsule in the original photo
went online and saw what the original capsule looked like
after going back somebody must have complained as the seller was saying it was okay and not a fake and were did get it from unusually shpock took it of quicky
something similar on fake Britain Monday a littlemill that was proved to be fake by the guys at 101 david Robertson cant remember the other guy problems with seal and when opened incorrect alcohol proof
