Well I would love to sample both the Glendronach and Glengoyne for sure but they will have to go into the notebook for now - there has been some indulgence on the hi-fi front and I don't want to take the proverbial too much ... :lol:

Lol - it's only money!:D

I noticed yesterday that some corporate sleazebags have increased the price of Aberlour a'Bunadh from around £48 to £80!! In the erudite words of one blogger - 'Fuck. That.'
What could possibly justify this? If the quality had increased it would help, but the last batch I bought was very rough indeed, and not a patch on earlier releases. Shame.
I've noticed prices creeping up over the last few years Jules, loads are collecting and flipping at auctions it seems. Was watching something recently where the commentator said during the 80's Scotland had a vast Loch of surplus whisky and many distilleries were either closing or being mothballed due to lack of demand.
Right now that surplus Loch is a puddle in comparison, distilleries are working at around 90% capacity, with new ones being opened and older sites being revived. There's a 3 year waiting list at Forsyths Ltd for new stills apparently. So I guess it's inevitable prices will rise.
Have you seen the new £140 million Macallan distillery, it's like something from a James Bond movie. The overall brand investment is £500 million!

Interesting Tim!
I wonder how the recent US tariffs will affect the capacity you mention?
Some place that.. fits in nicely.
Yes the usa duty hike may also have had a reason as may brexit to the price increase
Ah, that's a shame. Maybe an online wine retailer would have it?:)
