MacLeod's Islay 8 Years Old

[I_SPEY]

A couple of months ago, on a special occasion, I got a heavenly, superb dram:
A Macleod's Islay 8 Years Old - this one really hits the moon.
No where to buy around Rotterdam - Holland.

Does anybody know where to get this fluid gold, please let me know. I am very interested.

Thanks a lot Drrich.

I'll contact RMW ans ask them to hold a bottle forme.Or,
maybe I'll be there in due time, as I intend to go on holidays to Scotland
in April.


Many thanks again Drrich.

Is this stuff sold in the US?

RMW also ships cheap and amazingly fast to NL. I never had any problems, so having them send a bottle over is a good alternative to waiting until April...

IWC you are a man after my own heart. The 'As We Get It' is brilliant.

They are single casks, but I've never had one I didn't like. Both the Islay and the Highland versions are superb and on occasion they have been about as good as any whisky I've tasted.

I've also had some of the Furan Ile (lagavulin)

& a few different versions of the McLeods Taliskers

as you say all single casks and all great in their own right

Thanks both, IWC and Willie JJ, for this IB's name.
I have not heard of this IB.
Good idea and will probably find in Holland!

Forgot to add that I bought 6 different MacLeod bottlings from Malts and More a while back and it only cost me something like 26Euro postage so even with postage I made great savings

I had to get them over the internet anyway as I'd have no hope of getting these over here in Ireland

[Willie JJ]

Good tip. I just looked on their website and they have some great stuff.

I've had both the Highland bottles of 'As we get it' that they are showing but the 60.8% is the better one of the two.

I have got an (open) bottle from a friend in Utrecht, he didn't like it, but I did, so....

Got a confirmation from the Swedish importer (329 SEK/£26) that the first batch was Lagavulin, while the latter was Caol Ila.

Always the problem with "generic" bottlings, contents can change without a word to the consumer.
