Folks - we've now published a blog post to explain the reasons behind the method of sale here (Drams, Lottery, Auction). If you've got any observations about the method of sale (as opposed to the liquid itself) please head over here https://www.masterofmalt.com/blog/post/allocations-limited-releases-bastards-speculators-and-gobshites.aspx and join in the discussion. If you're one of the lucky few who've managed to try it already - please leave your user review (and don't forget the star rating) on this page. The Chaps at Master of Malt
I think the position taken by MoM is reasonable enough. Especially like the idea of dividing the bulk into little tasting drams. Will be amusing to see how many of these end up in an auction!
... is by far the best solution. Unless you are a flipper in disguise, isn't getting 3cl to enjoy better than getting nothing? This way the most people will get to try it (And it wont be at the mark up to be found in the bars and hotels)
Asking for a friend obviously. Will you auction them too if they sell out instantly or leave the flippers to auction them instead ? Just lottery it off. Stop playing with the fire the fire of auctions.
MoM have become utter jabronis. It all started with that bastard Whisky Santa. Nearly two months straight of being skunked by that rapscallion was bad enough, but now this? Make the announcement in the morning, release in the afternoon, and be done with it. This is out of control.
