Last week @hendyo and I tried the "world's most uncollectable whisky" - #Craigellachie's 51yo. Next month 80 lucky punters will get the chance to try it (as part of a private tasting with Global Brand Ambassador @BellesWhisky). See below for details: timeforwhisky.com/2019/09/ta…

Lots of fun with #Craigellachie last night, tasting the “world’s most uncollectible” 51yo, alongside the 13, 17, 23 and a single cask 23yo which spent 10yrs in ex-Rioja! Great to see @hendyo, @WhiskyAndWisdom, @whiskyledger, @BellesWhisky & other Sydney whisky legends there.
