Thanks for reply Coathanger, I think thats it in a nutshell or at least the way I interpreted it and if that was the case they had the balance just right, and I may know a bit about the process and rarity but it's still down to individual taste. One persons Laphroaig as a nectar from the gods is another persons poison.

As a Scot working abroad just now, it's nice to see the weather was dry. The trip you undertook looked amazing.
i'm afraid I'll just have to stick to buying on my budget whiskies around the £200-£300 range everytime I pass through Schiphol airport on my way home to Inverness.
Diagio's Blair Atholl distillery in Pitlochry does some delightful tasting whisky as well.

Isle of Mill, yes great, think they got in a middle.......
I know about the old price of Brora, pity I did't stock up on the 'Rare Malts 1972' expression then they were about £70,some 1972's a cool £4,000 - £5,000

The thing is after I was dropped off by the Rolls at Edinburgh airport I had to get a Flybe back to Manchester and that was delayed and next morning my taxi didn't turn up to take me back to the airport for a flight to new York, I had forgotten how to think after having everything done for the previous 4 days, talk about facing reality.

Thanks hugolover, you are correct regarding Corrour, it was purchased and is still owned by the 'Tetra Pak' heirs, thankfully we did't have to open many cartons, I'm terrible with them.

Wow, a dream trip come true. I have been lucky enough to visit various distilleries including some smaller ones on the islands but of course never to this level. Just wow!
