Rangers/Douglas Laing Whisky

[MarkWalters11]

Exactly this. Funny you say that because I too am a big lover of the Clynelish 14. Nothing better than opening up a single cask and savouring it's unique flavour and profile but the Clynelish 14 for the price is an absolute normal drinker. If only we could afford a constant stream of si gle casks. Again you've hit the nail on the head with the reason why and how single cask expressions from good distilleries sell well. We live in a world of exclusivity and that goes hand in hand with whisky at the moment. The only gripe I would have with this release is it is not cask strength. That though is my preference with single casks and I can totally understand their need to lower the ABV.

Thanks mate and I agree with you I think a cask strength version would have been great or bottled at 55% even better !!

For someone interested, why will they not have released it at cask strength? Is the duty higher and therefore on a run of limited bottles, the profit less?

Do we know when the other 2 will be out yet?

I like Malt whisky but far too dear for me. Great idea though and I’m sure it’s will be a big seller despite the price as it has Rangers on the bottle.

So much for asking for it for Xmas!

Mrs dh won't pay that.

Neither will I.

 

[Lord Summerisle]

Same.
Hopefully get a tracking email soon, too.

 

[Barba Roja]

Got the email tonight to say its been dispatched.

Will be keeping this one as a non drinker.

Cool.
Just checking because sometimes tracking emails don’t come through to my iCloud email address.

Can’t wait to get it – and, hopefully, the next two!...

Is it a single malt or blend ?

 

[GallowgateBlue]

Just received my bottle there.

 

[GallowgateBlue]

Snap. Just received my bottle there too.

 

[caldercraigbear]

Is it a single malt or blend ?

Single cask, single malt

 

[flootbon]

Single cask, single malt

Any idea of the distillery ?

 

[Brick_Top]

Hoping they get these back in stock.

 

[caldercraigbear]

Any idea of the distillery ?

1 of 360 bottles distilled at The Glenrothes Distillery

 

[caldercraigbear]

Hoping they get these back in stock.

I think there will be further whiskys offered over the next few months

 

[flootbon]

Cheers, thanks for that info.

Ssssshhhhhhh!

 

[Weegie]

I wonder who got bottle #55.

Totally agree it's too expensive. But for the collector it would be desirable.

 

[Stevie McDougall]

Bought one for me and a mate.

Will buy the other two if I can. I love whisky but this one will be getting kept by safely.

If you enjoy a nice whisky try Bhunnahabain, think Asda stocks it think its about £30 ish.
Absolutely fantastic .One of the best I've tasted.
It's a right touch. Lol

 

[Stevie McDougall]

That's capitalism. You could apply this logic of yours to any purchase. Say, for example, £65 on a Rangers top which is priced as such because of the badge. It certainly does not have a material value of £65. Maybe £3.

At the end of the day, £75 is a competitive price for this product. End of.

So that's that then

 

[Cumbernauld bear]

Mines is getting delivered tomorrow.

 

[Stevie McDougall]

Dial back the tone. You don’t know anything about me.

It’s absolutely not a valid point to claim this hasn’t been well-executed when it’s sold out within minutes of release.

Stick to picking fights you can win, pal.

Oooòoo matron lol

 

[Barba Roja]

DHL delivery tomorrow, happy days!

 

[Number Six]

DHL delivery tomorrow, happy days!

Just got the same mail there too

 

[Stevie McDougall]

DHL delivery tomorrow, happy days!

Enjoy buddy. Its fur quaffing. Lol

 

[BobbyShearer]

I’ve promised myself the first dram from this upon the 55th title.

Yet, something inside me knows the next time we beat the mentally challengeds I’ll wake up to a quarter of the bottle missing.

 

[cadge_1959]

Got text and email, delivered tomorrow

I have had a bottle of that and it was lovely, can't remember what exact kind or age it was right enough.

I will keep an eye out in Asda, cheers.

 

[Lord Summerisle]

Tomorrow for me, too!

 

[kclarkhall]

Both of mine coming tomorrow, got the emails.

No ideas about the others being released? I imagine the next two might have more interest given that these ones will be known about now.

 

[DunantBlue]

Must be doing well! Out of stock.

 

[Grange]

When did you get your email from DL?

I got mine last night, but no tracking info as yet.

DHL tracking number yesterday at 14-30
Arrived today. They sent a few emails on the progress. Need to hide it straight away and hold myself back from drinking it on 55. Lol

Quite right BS.
Enjoy it my friend.

 

[nybear]

i missed out this time.

 

[Stevie McDougall]

I will keep an eye out in Asda, cheers.

Just checked with the wife ,she said Morrisons do it.
Its about £32. It's an Islay single malt and its 46.3% vol.
Enjoy its absolutely fantastic

 

[Stevie McDougall]

Oh and it's a 12yo.
