That's still relativity easy to find after the lockdown, Whiskybrother had it in their lockdown special sale. If u can find the 10 year old PX cask then consider yourself lucky. It's still their best release ever.

I highly doubt I'll ever get to try the three ships 10yo px, and I don't really mind too much (same goes for the 2010 10yo?). I've not actually seen any 2005 vintage 10yo I must just be a bit blind though? I got to taste the 2003 10yo and loved it (the atmosphere of wade bales helped I'm sure) but damn I'd be game for anything that tasted similar lol. I regret not buying at least one more of the checker's release (there were 3 bottles in my local lol), it grew on me and it will be missed.

I've secured 1 bottle of the boutique-y after trying it, after a Springbank local barley 11yo (fantastic and so different to the 9yo I had) and being blown away I realized I should have jumped on the MoM special a couple of months back. It has to be my favourite of the range, hell might be my favourite whisky so far, although I expect I'll probably still like the 21yo when it's released but I'm guessing it will be very pricey like the pinotage.

I must say the recent 9yo fino masters collection is something I will have to buy at least another one of but it should be around for a fair bit. It is quite well balanced and very enjoyable. I kind of wish it wasn't peated though lol.

I believe anyone with a 10yo 2003 or a 10yo PX probably could get quite a bit of money for their bottles though...

I'll let you know when I decide to open another bottle of my PX cask, in this case though ignorance may be bliss as once you've tried it the other three ships don't quite get close, maybe I just have a soft spot for PX cask.

I did buy three bottles of the boutique-y release but I'll open that after moving into my new house. I did try the 2003 release at Wild about Whisky in 2013, I would love to try it again but it's so rare, that's a pipe dream.

The 2005 and 2006 vintage look very similar. You'd have to look closely to see the date and the slight difference in the Abv. It's been a long time since I've had the 2010 release but it's a similar profile to the 2005/2006 vintage release, obviously subtle differences between them.

I plan to drink all my whisky, at the current stock levels it would take me about 3-4 years :). I'm in the fortunate position that I don't need the money so I wouldn't sell my whisky. I do swap whisky with collectors if I have a extra/lonely bottle in my collection that would complete someone's collection.

Too lazy to read fineprint...is this applicable to online sales as well?

Edit: clicked on link.

This has nothing to do with their whisky shop.

I haven't gone through the fine print thoroughly but the website is for pubs and restaurants so I suspect it's for in-store purchases of food and drink. I'll be getting it to do some whisky tasting in-store, I've eaten there a few times so I'm ok with it being for just food. Also note that you can only purchase 1 gift voucher which is topped-up.
