    Not tried the 8 year old yet, been trying to improve my malt whisky knowledge over the last few months, mainly through you tube videos and a few other places. some of the prices are becoming eye watering so alway trying to find the best value for money.

    horst luning had a channel on the utube. he is pretty knowlegeable, and been att it for years. a bit tutonic at times but worth getting his opinions .. ive been drinking malt since i was 18. even worked in a few distilleries.
    Whisky is a simple thing, but is often complicated by some. The blender has the hard job; we get the simple one

    Yes, all we have to do is buy and taste it, quite good now we have a whisky shop locally, which also helps. At my age I should know a lot more about the stuff than I do, its very interesting trying, the higher ABV stuff, non chill filtered and no added colour, which are miles away to the stuff you can pick up in the supermarket although, there are a few decent ones in supermarkets.

    Thanks Grant, if the local shop doesn’t have what I’m looking for I will have a look there.

    M of M is where I used to get my whisky from as well.
    Unfortunately, since Breakshit happened, it is too complicated for them to shim into Europe. Another shining example of helping U.K. small to medium size businesses.
