Strathmore Vintage Vehicle Club Limited Nothing special but the club used to give first prize winners a bottle along with cup or shield but that ha s now stopped. have had a few ofver the years and probably have empty bottles in the loft. kept one unopened though. Another one not a malt but SandyMacNab's from the Lochside Distillery at Montrose which is now closed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robl12 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Have a rare collection here as well bill nothing rare just my favorites. Macallan any age, Glenmorangie, old pultney, highland park oh how the list could go on. Last year myself and another colleague looked into bying a cask of whisky to have laid down for 18 years. Have been around quite a few distilleries also the local cooperage where they make/ repair the barrels. Have also fished on the Macallan beat on the Spey you get a free bottle of whisky in the fishing bothy in the morning and the ghillie can get more during the day if required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 Well today I got a present of this bottle of 10 year old GLENMORANGIE in an odd sized bottle....only a 35cl bottle but well it was appreciated. No plans in drinking it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughmaster Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I had missed this thread first time around. Certainly a variety of tastes among forum members. For anyone who enjoys sampling a variety of whiskies, and is either in or visiting the Lincolnshire area, the George Hotel at Leadenham is well worth a visit (it is on the A607 between Lincoln and Grantham). They have a collection of approaching 700 different malts, some of which are very rare. The rarest and most expensive is a 1937 Pride of Strathspey which is believed to be one of only two bottles left in existence (assuming it hasn't all been drunk now! - probably not as a tot will set you back well into £three figures).

BC Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 I think if I'm down that way I would look in but think I will pass on the dram and ask for a sniff of the bottle ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford4ever Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Only just saw this now. My dad worked for over 30 years for Irish Distillers now part of the pernot ricard group and makers of Jameson,Paddy,Middelton,Powers whiskeys(and for a while Bushmills) among others such as Huzzar vodka and Cork Dry Gin He got (and still gets )a bottle every 2 weeks and doesn't drink You can guess what friends and family get as christmas presents F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 I seem to recall in the past before drink driving laws etc distillery workers in Scotland used to get drams at their work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robl12 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I seem to recall in the past before drink driving laws etc distillery workers in Scotland used to get drams at their work. Yes they did bill it was tradition in the stills and the bottling plants. You used to get a cup full every day. Mate used to do refits in stills and whilst in there saved up the flask cups of whisky in a thermos and take it home to his dad at the end of the week. Most now get a bottle once a month, dad knows several still workers so gets a steady supply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 Got this miniature bottle with other goodies for being a class winner at the Fraserburgh Rally last Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 And over the past couple of weeks my boss brought in two wooden boxes of whisky liqueurs. They were from the Rothes distillery where his father in law works. I noted they were passed sell by date but we still managed to eat them. They were lovely and well I wanted the lovely boxes.

archbarch Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 well done on being class winner Bill, looks a fine bottle of whisky. I love chocolate and whisky but not together, as you said cracking boxes, but what is it with the German address at the bottom of the ingredients??

BC Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 Thanks Simon. Two outings and two wins this season so far so off to a good start ;) I had not even noticed the German connection \ only past seel by date ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ploughmaster Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 ...but what is it with the German address at the bottom of the ingredients?? Worse than them sourcing the chocolates from Germany - since 2006 Glen Grant has been owned by the Italian 'Gruppo Campari SpA' \ Thankfully, MacAllan are still Scottish owned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
