@bogstandarddram I would say I'm lucky to be around, but I honestly believe that it's good observations, planning, reactions and all that. Still, I'm not in my 20s anymore. If I ever meet you, I'll share how 'lucky' I've been. Cheers and enjoy the summer riding

@Bunnahabhain The future called. They want their whisky back. 😂

Happy International Women’s Day! More women work in our distillery on the Isle of Raasay than men, and from our distilling team to our managers and front of house staff, we’re proud of the diverse roles represented throughout everything we do here. #BreakTheBias

@WhiskeyScam @OnlineWhiskey Thanks, that's really helpful and good to know. 👍🏼

[The Dram Straight Collective 🥃 @DramStraight]

@WhiskeyScam @OnlineWhiskey What is the nature of the scam exactly? Fake products or take payment and disappear or something else?

[The Dram Straight Collective 🥃 @DramStraight]

@GingerWhiskyMan @drams_s A wee bit of both, methinks! 😁

[The Dram Straight Collective 🥃 @DramStraight]

@drams_s @GingerWhiskyMan Plus there seems to be a lot of similar stuff - think the surge in demand last year might have sent some Distilleries the wrong way in terms of projecting volume.

[The Dram Straight Collective 🥃 @DramStraight]

@GingerWhiskyMan @drams_s Interesting. I have been holding the same theory. 🙌🏼

[The Dram Straight Collective 🥃 @DramStraight]

@whiskytip Yes, here you go https://t.co/NM0mtOvc89

I have tried it and it's really good.

They should be able to ship to you and if for any reason they cannot, lemme know and I can help coordinate @whiskydiarytv

Cheers! 🥃

@Jonnyraccoon1 @whiskytip @Springbank1828 @indiespiritbath Makes sense to keep the good times going! 😉

[The Dram Straight Collective 🥃 @DramStraight]

@whiskytip @awhiskybond @Springbank1828 But then @RoyalMileWhisky released them all together so can't really say!

[The Dram Straight Collective 🥃 @DramStraight]

@whiskytip @awhiskybond The @Springbank1828 packaging issue might be at play here too. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The Kilkerran 16 already came in tubes and now so do the premium releases i.e. SB18 and Longrow18. That leaves the SB12CS and they publicly stated that there was a supply issue with boxes for packaging!

So maybe!

@MaltMancunian @whisky_brers @awhiskybond @Ardbeg @Springbank1828 I thought I read somewhere that Ardbeg found a new breed of flippers after the investigation - retailers/stores sending full cases to auction. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Auction aside, price gouging & inside sales of limited releases is rampant by some official distributors/retailers of @Springbank1828

[The Dram Straight Collective 🥃 @DramStraight]

@whiskytip Thank you for calling it out!

[The Dram Straight Collective 🥃 @DramStraight]

@Jonnyraccoon1 @whiskytip @Springbank1828 @indiespiritbath This is a fabulous dram. Guessing it was the perfect end to a long day of driving! 👍🏼🥃

[The Dram Straight Collective 🥃 @DramStraight]

@DarrenGlencairn The Pot Still, Glasgow. Can't forget the back bar design! 🤘🏼

[The Dram Straight Collective 🥃 @DramStraight]

@davidjbrodie @Bunnahabhain This was an easy choice, @Bunnahabhain has my vote any given day! 🥃

[The Dram Straight Collective 🥃 @DramStraight]

@whiskytip @MasterOfMalt @Springbank1828 And the 15 now as well. Have a feeling older stock is being cleared for tomorrow's drop!

[The Dram Straight Collective 🥃 @DramStraight]

@whiskytip @ReviewsWhisky And, almost as if on cue, the Springbank releases have dropped. 💥

[The Dram Straight Collective 🥃 @DramStraight]

@whiskytip @ReviewsWhisky Fwiw, same! 🙌🏼
