Nice! How many entries did you have?

I always just enter one.

so this rat bastard advice was a dummy then ...

even though the odds were on your side surely when shopping at NGF...instead of hoping that you'll somehow win a "lotto".

half kidding, I was sort of happy to have fate decide if I'm dropping that amount of cash ... until fate decided wrong that is

NGF isn't exactly easy driving distance though and their online page for it vanished fast ... as fast as their stock I assume:

I was also one of the lucky barstewards on the WB ballot. My bottle will be donated for a Friday Whisky Arcana tasting event.

Ditto, absolutely fkkal from WhiskeyBrother.

Luckily I got one from NGF, so can't complain too much, buy I really wanted another one.

 

[BartSimpson]

Donated?

To the cause - but costs of purchase are covered by fellow Arcana members.

haha, Highland Park 12 is the reason I graduated from mostly drinking Jameson or Johnnie Walker Black, I discovered it for the first time on a flight I would never have been on if it wasn't for a series of crazy events that transpired beforehand so it has also become synonymous with a trip down memory lane for me

even if the quality is inconsistent I'll probably always buy it from time to time, especially if the price dips below R600 and I'm already paying R195 for delivery of an Ardbeg tasting set anyway
