    Well done on a half-century, yet another brilliant podcast.
    Really impressed by Berry Bros judging by your reactions and opinions of the bottles you tasted and Joe's knowledge is excellent.
    I really want to go for the Craigellachie, but limited info on the website about the bottle and the picture of the bottle is blurred when you try & magnify to read the label. Also, a tenner delivery is a tad high! It's a f***er, but I'll probably still end up buying it, I can't ignore the praise you gave it! 🥃........Edit: Fuck it, I've bought it slaintè

    You guys need to try some more Knockdhu, especially the Ancnoc 18 & 24yr. Under the the radar, delicious and still tremendous value imo.
