Hi Magoo,
Nothing for the collection unfortunately, just some of the crowd pleasers for when friends/family call round, such as Redbreast 12yo, Powers 12yo, Black Bush, Tyrconnells, etc.
Cheers,
J.

The Highland Park Earl Magnus Edition might be a good one to pick up...

Looking at them myself as I love HP Cask strength offerings. JohnM let me know if you know where to some as I want to buy 2 or 3 pronto. People are saying they are expensive @ £85 (Circa 100Euro) but I've been buying some Maxxim 35cl single cask HP's for 60Euro a pop so that would equate to 120Euro for a full bottle. SO not too bad. I really like HP around this age at Csak Strength 8-)

I got a couple from the distillery sent to a friend's mother in Scotland... I won't have them for a month. However, I see that they will be available in different countries, which suggests they'll be available outside the distillery. If they're not going to sell them outside the distillery, you can have one of mine.
