I’m with you anyway, I like to have a bit of a collection on the go but it’s definitely for drinking & enjoying not for keeping.

Regarding the English Whisky, Jim commented he was going to buy two bottles of the latest 'chapter', one to drink and one to save as it will increase in value with time (although I tend to buy whisky for one purpose and one purpose only and it isn't for its long term value!!).

Amazing that whisky hasn't been made in England in over a century really. Look forward to trying it.Bit of a long shot, but do we know each other from the distant past Stu?

Not sure the product (at this time) is any challenge to the afore mentioned whiskys or even popular scotch single malts, however may be something to keep your eye on for the future as its oldest whisky is only 3 years old! http://www.englishwhisky.co.uk/ Hi

I'd love to try the supernova, Ardbeg is my second favourite distillery (first being Laphroaig).Online seems to be the best bet for the Amrut, eg: http://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/amrut-fusion-whisky/ http://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/P-10259.aspx http://www.whisky-online.com/amrut-fusion.htmlI think I'll be giving that one a try myself.

Anywhere the Amrut can be found in the UK? Would love to try them all but budget doesn’t extend to the Sazerac or Supernova. Anywhere the Amrut can be found in the UK?
