    Hi, no, but what you can do is control this with the right pour. Angle it so you get fizzing and a head (more than how a pub pours), so it won’t end up doing the same in your belly. Interestingly some Czechs pour their beer with no tilt, waiting for the huge head to subside before pouring again.

    It's just stupidly good for the money, at €3.99 a bottle!!

    'Plonk' it is not, trust me. Absolutely beautiful, served chilled as an aperitif... I've paid ten times that amount for French stuff that hasn't been anywhere near as good!! Pity you can't get it here in Lidl.

    Aberlour A'bunadh is on sale at Waitrose right now, reduced by £12.

    https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/produc...67-36964-36965

    Batch 59 is 60.9% and still has the old kick of course but it has lost something in complexity.
    You don't quite get that array of chocolate, raisins, caramel and orange notes that earlier batches had.
    The alcoholic burn is more overwhelming now. Hope they get it back on track in the future.

    Just picked up a bottle of the Lasanta for £35 from Amazon Prime - that's a 20 quid reduction.

    Nice.

    Bought a bottle of Ardbeg Corryvreckan about three weeks ago and have just got around to opening it. Absolutely stunning. Well worth the expense.
