Sounds interesting - but then I got stung on the Talisker 12 y-o... 40-odd quid when the 'exclusive offer' mailer came round, knocked down to 30-odd quid a couple of months later when they hadn't shifted it all. Guess you really know who your Friends are with the Classic Malts...

It is a sherry casked Laga at 12yo. Its not being released in the UK, only on the continent.

If you want it you will have to pay for delivery from there. The price seems to be about 53 Euros.

And they're set to let it be sold in retail in general, so they must have loads of stock, it can't have been as limited as the Laga.
