I'd suggest the ship has already sailed, is 8% not what you expect from a pension

I'm a cynical twat so if it's being advertised as a top investment (with a 10 odd year time frame) I'm suspicious that it's not all it's cracked up to beDunno
It was advertised on MSN so I'm pretty sure it's scammy - like the nobs on TV selling an 'Exclusive 1/8th Gold Sovereign Coin for hundreds of pounds (1/8th FFS!) and they scream about it being tax free when it's more than 5 times the Gold Value
But I'm also sure if you know what you are doing and don't include these middle men you could turn a decent profit and someone on here will know (not AC or Perry though)
Absolutely, I know of people who buy and sell bottles and make a good profit, a whole barrel (or share) is a bit long term unless you intend drinking it and any profit is a bonusIt was advertised on MSN so I'm pretty sure it's scammy - like the nobs on TV selling an 'Exclusive 1/8th Gold Sovereign Coin for hundreds of pounds (1/8th FFS!) and they scream about it being tax free when it's more than 5 times the Gold Value

Seeing as the Queen has left us, I just opened this and can recommend it's smoothness - haven't a clue where it came from (other than my sideboard where I store a few bottles received as B'Day/Xmas gifts ) and I've never heard of it.
Just found out it's Aldi's Malt

The single malt brand of German discount chain Aldi is coy about its origins.

I'm on the Aquavit tonight hic
I bought a bottle of this from Aldi this week (£15) as I fancied a change and haven't drunk dark rum in a long long time.
It's very good stuff with a taste of coffee and slight aniseed

I've never had Krakken, but this Cassario Black Spiced Rum is well nice and much cheaper

That looks worth a try.

Oh, I wouldn't have relied on a review of yours Ronaldo. You'll drink turps and be in heaven, you old pi$$ tank.

I swear on a kangaroo's horn, everything I say is nearly true (most of the time)
Tonight, I extracted an unopened bottle from my sideboard (where I keep Xmas/Bday bottles) and it is this (from the Orkneys)-
43.5% and as smooth as a strippers legs - it's good but at £40 a bit expensive

I have very happy memories of a drunken 2 week ramble through RoI that started in Cork and culminated in Glengarriff.
A very nice part of the country too
I went to Aldi today to buy another bottle of Cassario Black Spiced Rum, but the feckers have sold out 
Anyway, they are selling this, so I thought "Why not? You like cherries Ron"
I'm just sipping it neat - it's smooth, very flavoured and for £15, it's better than Everclear's insults

Ooooooofff !
Macallan: Rare Scotch whisky becomes world's most expensive bottle at £2.1m
"I tasted a tiny drop," says Sotheby's head of whisky as The Macallan 1926 exceeds its estimated price.

Following the tip-off from 1418 I called in Lidl today and bought these: The Calvados at £15-99 is an absolute steal, and if you like apple brandy (40%) get it while you can.
Don't know about the blended Malt, but at £17-99 it's gotta be worth a go.

Saw this in Aldi today and bought a bottle. Had a quick tot and it's lurverly.
Following a very bad experience with too much cheap whiskey in 1981 I didn`t touch a drop till last December when I was bought a bottle of Glen Marnoch. I opened it not expecting to like it only to find it delicious. I think The Trouble summed up the taste perfectly as a cross between tractor oil and a bonfire although the label describes it a little differently .
I liked it so much that I wanted to buy more so I googled it and was surprised to find it was from Aldi @ £18.49 and that it generally gets cracking reviews.
Nearly 3 bottles later it was time to top up again but Aldi had none so I tried the Laphroaig from Tesco alongside the Glen Marnock below. Still very drinkable but tasting and smelling a little of anaesthetic I don`t like it as much.
I`m still very much a novice with just 8 weeks of single malt drinking behind me but I`d like some recommendations and descriptions preferably sticking below £30 for now .
