I'll give it a go, but it won't be for £27.50.

I need to move to Scotland :)

i usually buy from my local whisky shop, like to support the local shops when I can. The Bunna s on offer in Tesco every few weeks. Amazon have some prime deals on whisky just now , if you don’t mind buying from them.

We don't have any local shops that sell what I consider to be good whisky around me, unless you want Penderyn! I guess that's what happens when you live in Wales and not Scotland :(

I try to avoid buying anything from Amazon, but thanks for the tip - I'll have a looksee anyway.

This is my local shop. https://thewhiskyroom.scot/

Also this one is about 10 miles away. https://www.geraldos.co.uk/?srsltid=...ajUzeZqnmsaAh3

Geraldos if you sign up for their emails will advise when they have their allocation of Springbank.

Now you're really making me jealous Robin . . . I have a friend in Maidens, so not that far from there - maybe I can get her to do some shopping for me :lol:

I got very excited there for a minute - Springbank 10 for 57 quid . . . . sold out!

I usually go to the Whisky Room, every couple of weeks or so, the owner Allan is a really good guy and will always provide a taster or two to help you make your mind up.

Tis done, I'm on the list - many thanks Robin.

I'm scouring a map of West Scotland at the moment - I'm due to move from Wales and can't decide where to go. On the list are Scotland, Yorkshire and Suffolk/Norfolk. Although my reasons for moving to Suffolk are a lower priority now, so it's at the bottom.

Best of luck with your move Tim, there are some lovely parts of Scotland, just remember that although the house prices are lower we do receive a bit more rain. But when the sun shines its a lovely place to live.

Ah rain . . . yeah, I live in Wales, tell me about rain . . . I read somewhere about UK cities, Glasgow gets the most rain of any UK city when it comes to total volume, but Cardiff has the most days rain in the UK per annum.

So I'll take more volume over more days :)

I won't mention the Welsh and I'm half Welsh! (other half is Irish).
