It will likely be three years old, which is the minimum age at which whisky can be sold.No age statement on the whisky, monarchy concept: poorly aged.

Lot's of people by the look of it.
They've sold out of the limited run of 5000 bottles.
I'd have bought one for £85 and stuck it in the back of a cupboard.
Select is decent. It's not a patch on Quarter Cask, though, so you may be disappointed.That's a massive win. Quarter Cask is my favourite. Still not tried select as I'm worried it will just disappoint in comparison.
Anyway I'm less flush at the moment so sticking with a bottle of one Aldis own malts. They're not bad for the money.
And do what with it? The whiskey's probably mediocre at best and who the fuck cares about an engraved decanter?Lot's of people by the look of it.

It's good but it's not special like Quarter Cask. Quarter Cask is something I'd give a whiskey lover as a present. Don't think Select is quite at that level.Not a chance. Select is my stock drop. Of course there are better whiskies but as a regular go-to, it's significantly more than adequate!
And do what with it?

Yeah, but it's your stock drop. So to make a treaty present, you have to go one level up. Whiskey lovers are expensive to treat!And I'd be perfectly happy if you decide to give me a bottle as a gift!

Bought some on offer again. Didn't get quarter cask by accident this time, sadly. But I can report that yes, it's excellent. Not QC of course, but really good. It's still complex and peaty and lovely. You're right. It is gift quality.And I'd be perfectly happy if you decide to give me a bottle as a gift!

Will you be mobile?In a couple of weeks I'll be in Stirling, Perth and Newburgh. Can anyone recommend decent distilleries in the area for a visit?
Depends how much whisky I guzzle But yes, I'm driving on the way to distilleries, Mrs Forward will drive back.Will you be mobile?
I've been looking out for Select recently, but haven't seen it with a discount. I don't shop in Waitrose though.
However got a bonus bottle of Quarter Cask. OH parents had ordered it for me for Xmas from Amazon and it never arrived, so Amazon sent another. Turns out it was with a neighbour. Very nice of them to give it to me now and not keep it for birthday. Especially as I'd just finished the cheap Alidi malt.
I never thought to do this before, but comparing Waitrose's discounted prices to the best price on Amazon, they're consistently better. But their full price is way too much.
Cardhu Gold Reserve is £30 on Amazon, £26 discounted and £48 full price at Waitrose. The Ardmore (a nice lightly peaty one) is £29 on Amazon, £23 discounted and about £33 full price at Waitrose.
So my instinct for this was right. Waitrose's discount prices are very good value but never buy full price there.
North of Perth you've got a fair few.Depends how much whisky I guzzle But yes, I'm driving on the way to distilleries, Mrs Forward will drive back.

Fancy that. Scots folk trading on the mystique of the wee dramThanks friedaweed and danny la rouge for all the recommendations. Funnily enough, I looked at that Lindores Abbey one, seeing as it's just down the road. But i was a bit suspicious as they seem to be trading on the whole "birthplace of whisky" heritage rather than their actual whisky. The distillery itself is only a few years old. Sure, you have to start somewhere but using so many hundreds of years in your main marketing struck me as iffy.
