It's going nowhere! Bought it from the distillery for £100 and thought I'd keep it as an investment I have amazed myself by keeping it this long. I can assure you it won't make 2015!

Have stayed at the port askaig hotel(fawlty towers) a couple of times whilst visiting distillery's. Beautiful island with great coastline. Coal ila setting is one of the best with great views over to Jura. Very envious.

Aye, you could be right, but it's got to be tried in the cause of research. I don't mind taking one for the team

A very happy birthday to you; from the pic it looks like it might be!

One great benefit of being a whisky drinker of course is that no one ever needs to ask you what you'd like for your birthday!

Nope! 'tis just the "ordinary" double matured distillers edition. Very very smooth, rich deep & not too peaty. It's nearly a liqueur, definitely post prandial. I've not heard of the Himimiyeezzass, I'll keep a lookout.

Oh aye! I've been threatening to buy meself a bottle for a while, but kept baulking at the price, then the birthday bunny came along & a fine beastie he is too I was a tad worse for wear when we opened it, so probably not in the best state to give a considered opinion, but I have a hazy recollection of a very smmmmooooth,rich, slightly sweet, pleasantly smoky without being OTT dram, with a long finish. I need to give it another looking at under controlled conditions
