Yeah, the Corry is almost done unfortunately... There was an Ugi before that, that was stunning too...
I do have a bottle of Kelpie on the way though, that’ll be an interesting bottle
The Caol Ila is one I’ve not come across before, it’s the colour of water more or less, so it’ll be an interesting dram
The Octamore is amazing, but, it lingers a long time, hence why I’ve hardly touched it. It’s so oily, the taste sits with you for hours!
The SMWS bottles are great fun, the Tar Very Much is lovely, a smooth drinker, but quite hot. I have their Eviscerated Jelly Babies too, that’s a great dram

Birra Moretti Grani Antichi
Just a heads up guys... Had this earlier today, and it was excellent. Rather alcoholic at 8% A.B.V, but so very flavoursome, rich, malty and hoppy. Think Italian Leffe Tripel - an unusual but rather rewarding beer, available from Tesco:

Get some in for Christmas, folks - it's a corker!

Ah well - another chance to get pickled gone!
Would be at least £3 per bottle north of the border based on an 8% alcohol content - minimum pricing.

Can't be, Dave, as my dad bought some only the other day, so it *exists* in the Wrexham store., and therefore likely others. Could be the software hasn't been updated with latest stock levels, so best to visit your local store and see

That's the only one I can comment on, though. It really is good, so worth finding!
