Woohoooo, bargain of the year in Tesco this evening. The fantastic 18yo Highland Park, which they normally sell at £59, today was just £30. And 10yo Glenmorangie, which they normally sell for £29, just £20.

That's me stocked up then

Highland park is gloriously nondescript. I use it in honey & lemon when ill, it's not good for much else IMO! 🙂

18yo HP was declared "Best Spirit in the World " in 2005.

Nondescript, my elbow!

Tesco are in for the kill - they are throwing goods away at the moment - 3 for 1 offers and the like all over the store, they must reckon they're in the position to sink one of their competitors just now. I wonder who.

>Highland park is gloriously nondescript<

Didnt think I'd ever see these words in the same sentence...

All down to taste I guess ( bad taste in your case;-)

Highland Park is a triumph when you consider they can turn out the volume they do, consistently.

30 sheckels for the 18yo is a bloody steal.

but that was five years ago - the current batch would have been made 5 years later! does whisky have good and bad years like wine? 😆

Got some Glemorangie at Morrisons the other day, at £14.99 it was rude not to.
Ton's right about Edradour.

Well there is no doubt variation, but the tasters endeavour to preserve the flavour year on year by blending from different barrels in the store.
