DEAR COLLECTABLE LIQUORS ,GREAT TO HEAR YOU ARE AN INDEPENDENT COMPANY, SINCE I,VE BEEN BUYING OFF YOU ,YOU HAVE A GREAT SELECTION ,THAT YOU CANNOT BUY ELSEWHERE, ORDER CAME NEXT DAY..SO I WILL CONTINUE BUYING FROM YOU .BEST WISHES RAY HUTCHINSON.

OK, let’s start at the top: £150 in the UK which is about $200. What do you get for your money? Well, first there is a very well made box, a coffin to hold the bottle in place. Oh, you want to know what the whiskey tastes like? Well, in my opinion, rather rough at first taste without water. Then, after a drop of H2O, a smooth, tasty, full-flavoured mouthful with a great lingering after-taste delighting my palate. This is such a good whiskey that I could imagine having one glass and no more as a digestif; well, more likely, two glasses of delight. But the price! Even as a fan of whiskey I could not imagine spending this much (although I have been fortunate enough to be given it as a present). And, for what it is worth, the BC Legacy is a monotone and I could buy wonderful complex Scottish malts for a lot less money.

Delicious, moreish stuff. Can’t say I agree with the berries in the fanciful tasting notes here. Rich, intense, with a backbone of something I can’t put my finger on; want to say ‘malt’ (don’t laugh). Don’t regret buying it, but not sure I’d go for it again. There’s plenty of rich intensity out there without having to spend £98. Still, tasty, rich stuff

I have no idea why there aren’t reviews here. I recently acquired my first bottle (batch 9, #231 out of 1,487 is mine) and tried my first dram in my usual manner: neat, then followed by few drops of cold water, then followed by a few more drops,etc. nose was fantastic, rich, complex and most noticeably balanced among many aromas—I have no idea about all those descriptions in producer notes. Taste was out of this world (technical American tasting term) and the producer notes on palate are exactly accurate, not overstated. From nose through to finally swallowing was a veritable symphony of flavors and tastes; just an extraordinary series of sensations and experiences. And so smooth-how do they do it at 49%? And I’d say so balanced, but that would be like saying a great symphony performance is balanced. And adding touch of water also brought out even more. IMHO, best whiskey I’ve ever had. Odd, since my experience of the 18 yr old Allardice is just that it’s a good whiskey, but not my fav 18!?! So I think the greatness here is much more than just six more years.
