For $200 plus the bottle has to be special. Seemed good not special imo. Would be more attractive at cask strength but understand why it's 46%. Low quantity spread it out at 46%. Is this bottle on Macallan or Springbank level? bc the price is
Interesting that you rate Mccallan so highly. When was the last time you drank any of the distilleries core range? Until the late 90's Macallan was indeed an excellent distillery. However since the take over by Edrington in 1999 the quality has reduced drastically as the marketing of the brand has increased exponentially. This distillery is a pale shadow of what it once was and now demands astronomical prices for a very average product usually sold at 40%/43% ABV.
@@rosslogan4154 I'm not big fan of Macallan or springbank. As a brand their not on the same level. The mass go crazy for those distilleries and can demand high prices. That's what I'm referring to.
It's expensive due to the exceptionally small scale of the distillery, which only operates a few months a year. It is, however, a superb Lowland style whisky.
I enjoy seeing the reviews again. Thanks.
At last, it's Daftmill! Been sitting on that damn shelf for a while, was wondering when the review would come out. Next, do Kingsbarns... 😁
Love the story about the distillery, I have not had a Draftmill yet, sounded good though!
That is a great bottle.
That is a great bottle.🎉
The oloroso cask ruined this bottle compared to fully exbourbon releases. I have noticed this bottle being sold off reduced price.
