According to lists I can see this is an Inchgower Distillery, up by Buckie? Enoy.vball wrote: Sat Jan 04, 2025 12:58 pm I gather the "starters pack" gives you some idea of how to read the label so here goes .....

A gentle reminder that if the yield seems too good to be true, it's probably is actually too good to be true.

The documentary last night was pretty awful to watch. The bit where the Essex wide boys and girls were celebrating in the pub thinking they had just conned someone else was infuriatingUncle fester wrote: Fri Mar 28, 2025 7:42 pm A gentle reminder that if the yield seems too good to be true, it's probably is actually too good to be true.

All the money you made will never buy back your soul
The whole industry is an unregulated mess, ripe for fraudsters, however there was certainly a high degree of "a fool and his money". Even ten minutes on Google would have cast enough doubt to stop you sending either of those companies a penny.Slick wrote: Fri Mar 28, 2025 8:34 pmThe documentary last night was pretty awful to watch.

Bought myself SMWS membership just over a month ago as a birthday present to myself. Tbh it's as much to have somewhere private to go for Sunday lunch occasionally or pop into when I'm in TOWN (the food is really good). But I got an interesting bottle with my membership, Afternoon Banana, 14yo from Glenburgie distillery on Speyside. Might go to Leith for Sunday lunch tomorrow no I think about it. They usually have good beer on tap as well, local the rooms you're in - the Edinburgh ones have Camper van brewery just now I think.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?
