@whiskytip @DramCamp @waitrose I can get it on delivery from Tesco Silverburn so probably can get it in some of the big ones.

Finally got this finished, the lights installed and on the stand.

It is *slightly* bigger than I'd expected. I did measure before ordering it, but it just seems massive.

@TheWhiskyWire Thank you Steve and @FettercairnWh 🙌

[Gordon @neatdrams]

@TheWhiskyWire Fettercairn isn't a distillery I've tried a lot of so this was really interesting. You could definitely tell the similarities between all 3 drams.

Enjoyed the 12, but really liked the Vanguard.

The 28 was great, but I might not stretch to a bottle 😅

@TheWhiskyWire Reckon the Lawman would approve too.

🏁 Warm, sweet but slightly tannic like tea.

Really tasty and easy to sip. 👌
