I think I'm a hobby/collector but may be in denial.

Anyone else pick up a case of the 94 vesuvio from Strakers yesterday?

Also picked up a Grahams 40yr bottled 2007 from an auction in Carlisle yesterday £45

1 x Calem 40 year old tawny at auction (will make a nice gift to give someone). 11 x Bomfim 2013 at Asda for £22 each (will make a nice mention in my will as I don’t think I’ll live long enough to drink it). Thanks for the tip, indulged in half a dozen myself. As for leaving it in your will, tish p...

Despite the time of year, there is still the odd auction bargain out there, owc of 6 Smith Woodhouse 2016 £100 ib 15% commission.

Can you post be...

I am on the hunt for a small quantity of G85, maybe just a half case and on the advice of AHB, am asking here. If anyone has some that they would be prepared to part with for a reasonable price, please get in touch. Regards Andy

No private message from Christopher, another member and I (Glenn E) are in discussion about this but no other messages received.

Can only speak from a personal preference but the Grahams 85 is one of my all time favourites, just beautiful.
