And yes the 17yr was among them. I opted for it over the 18yr (1LT) on their advise. I'll let you know when I jump into it. I tell you mate.... I was like a kid in a candy shop in that place.... Only bought a few, but could easily have purchased another 12 ! Bloody good prices and knowing they have a great stock line. Also grabbed the Ardbeg Coryveckan and Russells single cask bourbon to try.... <br /><br />AL (from OZ) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-49216201301980118092016-12-10T01:37:46.338-04:002016-12-10T01:37:46.338-04:00Might give the Oban a look see'....

Both sound pricey... and you can imagine what the 21 and 25 might be.... The 105 sits at $139 ... Would that be a better option ?... 60%... wow!!<br />AL(from OZ)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-73122436627572059292016-05-31T18:24:09.543-03:002016-05-31T18:24:09.543-03:00Not many would take the 17 over the 15
