Mom, the comments below make my day. I read this religiously every day. It is better than a Comedy Show. You got the mad ones, the whiners, the selfish (UK only), the Pros (scotch experts), and the ones who hope to get selected. Hold it for one more month, we need to hear a little more from this very valuable customer, and give me a good reason not to buy it. For 200 pounds, believe me I can choose from better, and don't have to heard my self on the waiting list. Again, don't stop it, this is good, very funny....
You guys know this right? Hence I really don't think it matters how they choose to sell it, there is little chance anyone will get it at "retail" anyway. It's rare and full of hype, so if you want it the chances are small regardless, unless you want to spend an overinflated collectors price. To drink there are plenty probably better if you want to spend 200GBP
Tried a sample of this and not worth 200 quid, let alone what the current auction prices are up to. Save your money and get a decent sherried speysider.
Last night I red the post from MoM about This incredible product. The odds to get it are pretty low and I'm quite sad about it since I want so badly this bottle.. to celebrate the birth of my son which will happen the next days... However I really want to congratulate with the MoM chaps to have chosen a fair, intelligent and ethical method to allocate this amazing whisky. Your post shows clearly how You took seriously all comments for your customer and the dedication to this business for you and a passion for me. I'm constantly buying great products from your website, even if I'm doing that form Italy so with shipping costs and not always a great exchange rate... But all this event about the realese of the Yamazaki sherry cask 2016 and how you managed it raised totally my loyalty towards this website which will be my most favourite source to purchase whiskys, gins and all Frat thing.. Alessandro
200 bottles allocated to the uk. Population 65million, what are the odds of picking one up for £200.
