I once went to a dinner at Berry Bros & Rudd - and had some very good wines there. I remember one - though I wish I could recall what it was - but it was only about £17 a bottle, and orders of magnitude better than most wine I've ever sampled.

Is the same true of the whisky, perhaps? I guess that's a personal choice, but it'd be good to have an opinion.

i drink two of theirs.. this one and their speyside one. both excellent prices and great blends.. maybe shouldnt say this as the price will go up lol. about £28 a bottle.
obviously single malts tend to be dearer and maybe overall better; well the good ones. but at this price there are few that can get close to these. the black bull ones are top too

Maybe I'll add it on to our tasting list, though we've still got enough spirits to propel a car a few hundred miles if the petrol runs out!

certainly worth trying. its not got the depth of a glenfarclas or glendronnach and not as smooth but its way cheaper and is very nice indeed. i really like the speyside one too. completley different

just opened another bottle if this too. a bit more expensive but this is a lovely dram. i like it a lot

whisky time.. black bull kyloe.. very good this for money
