For example, Talisker 10Y (my dad's favorite whisky, so I always knew it's pricing) was sold for around Fl 70,- (€ 31,-) in 2000. The same bottle now goes for around € 35,-. And that is 8 years later! Same goes for the 'cheap' blends. <BR/>I assumed this was because of the increasing production of Whisky as result of the increasing demand. After all, a decent liquor-store in 2000 held 4 or 5 shelves of whisky. Today the same store has 10-15 shelves for whiskeys. Something is definitely changing.<BR/><BR/>On another note: congratulations on your post at Grant's. I believe you are there in good company (David Stewart!).<BR/><BR/>Most readers, like myself, will take your judgment as a personal view. However your ability to name and describe the tasting makes this Blog. I do occasionally check you blog before I buy. Not to see if you are personally blown away by the whisky I have in mind, but to read the tasting notes. <BR/><BR/>Hopefully your employment at Grant's will open even more doors (and bottles) for you to share with us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
