I was a big fan of the Edradour Cask Strength Decanter from 1993 but that bottling is gone and no longer to be found anywhere. I did hear from Royal Mile Whiskies that there is now a 1994 Decanter available. Has anyone tried this? How does it compare to the 1993? Much thanks, Hans Peter
I, too, picked up a bottle of Bowmore Cask (NAS) because the price was in line. I'll open it this weekend. Personally, I don'...if 95%% of the whisky is, say, 18 years old, and the blender found the perfect cask of 5 year old to top it off, they can't sell the bottle as 18 yr...around 80 for the bottle a couple of years ago. Haven't had one recently which is why I bought the Cask NAS.

On 2007-09-23, Henry (aka Bruce) was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea: Just got a bottle of Bowmore Cask Strength as a gift. No-where on the bottle -- nor on the website! -- does it say anything about the age of this whisky. So, does that mean it is six years and one day? The Legend is 8 years old I hear. I acidentally brought one home when I saw the presentation ...

...'re doing it with re-racked beer direct from the breweries. I've been detailed to pick up one of the casks because the brewery is reasonably near where I live. I've been quite involved in running a festival for a few years, and I've re-racked casks a couple of times, but only for immediate use. Thus I have no real idea of how long the beer will ...
