Whiskybroker October 2012 Update – Scotch Whisky News
Whiskybroker.co.uk Update October 2012
Jane and I have celebrated the birth of our first baby, Harry, on 7th September, so the past month has been spent taking it slightly easier. No anymore though! Yesterday I bottled some 17yo Mortlach, 16yo Glen Elgin and 17 Linkwood, which can be seen in the photograph below. All 3 bottlings are priced at £37.00 and can be purchased on my online shop at http://www.whiskybroker.co.uk/acatalog/Bottlings.html. Some of you may also not be aware of the 14yo first fill sherry Benrinnes that I bottled about a month ago. About 30 bottles of this is still available on my shop, priced at £37.50. Trade prices are available to purchasers of more than 24 bottles. I can also send whisky Duty Free to anybody who is capable of receiving it (warehouse, registered consignee, temporary registered consignee etc.).
I’ve just purchased some 2005 hogsheads which should be delivered in a couple of weeks. They include: June 2005 Dalmore, December 2005 Speyburn and May 2005 Glen Moray. I’m hopeful there will also be a few others. They will be re-gauged upon arrival but should be priced around £1600.
For those of you searching for new make spirit I’ve also got some June 2012 Tullibardine barrels on their way down to me in the next week or so, to go along with the 2012 Macduff barrels I’ve already got.
Finally, in the next few weeks I’ll be bottling 60 litre shares of my 22 year old Aultmore, 22yo Bunnahabhain, 22yo Strathmill and 20 Glen Grant. If anybody is interested in buying a 60 litre share of these, please let me know now, before I put the casks back in the warehouse!
That’s all for now, but as always I’m open to suggestions, criticisms or any questions you might have.
Regards,
Martin Armstrong
