I don't think they have even listed it in the Douglas Laing website shop yet, unless I missed it and it sold out very quickly.

Just 42 of the 168 bottles allocated to the UK (across 20 retailers)

Happy hunting everyone!

I got a call today from a specialist whisky retailer who sells DL bottlings, had left my speculative enquiry with them yesterday to see if they could source a bottle but they had confirmation from DL that this was effectively sold out on day of release!

Fast forward right this moment, luck was on my side, got word of Master of Malt selling them, just this second bought the last remaining bottle.

I was born 1978, so cant wait to crack it open later in the year when I hit 40!

Eelbrook, where do you get such good info, who do you work for, any discounts on the go Cool

Edencroft and Robbies Drams only have 1 bottle each available just now, wonder how many Master of Malt had. Anyway, happy days - had the excitement of trying to track it down, this time I got one... I've missed a few bottles over the years as I never know when or where new bottles are going to be available.

That was a great price on TWE

I paid Â£315 and Â£350 for my two bottles (which in themselves weren't bad prices)
