As I think I've mentioned before it's like rocking horse shite here in the antipodes but I recently found some so bought a bottle, now I just have to be able to drink it!!! Could well be discountinued if it never sold that well, I just know you can still get it and Diageo still own the distillery. You can get it here: https://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/blair-athol-12-year-old-whisky/?srh=1 for example. I think the Single Malt market has changed massively since the Flora and Fauna range came in with stuff like Mortlach and Caol Ila (the latter in particular) now being heavyweights in their own right. The big companies like Diageo and Pernod Ricard and the like are always fucking about with the lesser known distilleries (especially in terms of what they release as single malts). It's understandable because it's quite a commitment to continue to age something for 10, 12, 16 years or whatever if it's not selling in the current climate. It's a pain in the arse if you're a fan of that particular whisky though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 34913 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 @ewerk You had Chairman's Reserve before? It's a lovely drop and it would be up your street I think. It's St Lucian but very similar in style to the rums you get from Barbados. It's very good value anyway but Sainsbury's and Amazon Prime both have a couple of quid at the minute. Can't go wrong for £18. It's tropically aged for 5 years (which equates to about 10-15 years ageing in a more temperate climate). Good enough to sip but makes for a very affordable mixer, especially at that price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30370 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I haven’t had it before, I haven’t been drinking much rum lately but at that price I’ve a bottle ordered and looking forward to it. Certainly has good a review review from the Rum Pirate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
