Dont they hold the record for the biggest ever loss? 39-0
So I was up in that London and a work meeting finished early, and I realised I was in the vicinity of The Whiskey Exchange on Great Portland St. Having bought from them often online but never visited, thought I'll have me a look-see.
What a place:
This is the basement looking at the US bottles, with a facing wall of scotch. Some fantastic stuff, some of which doesn't get to the website. Unfortunately this is also reversed as the Sagamore I was after is a web exclusive.
Upstairs is brandy, gin, wine and tons of rum.
Well worth a visit, staff are fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable. I was treated to samples of Balcones, New Riff and a Stagg Jr plus an Equiano and Appleton Black Barrel 15 upstairs.
I walked out with a standard Sagamore, an El Dorado 12 on recommendation after talking about the styles of rum I like and a second bottle of the rare Foursquare 2008. Paid a bit over the odds for that but what the hell.
Walked out feeling quite the gent. I'll definitely head back in the autumn for some scotch.

Amazing! I could spend a few hours in there just looking at labels (and hopefully being offered free samples).

Stores like that are fun. "Oh, look, always wanted to try that one."
Oh it is, I've already got a bottle - this one's going into deep storage.
I like Laphroaig quarter cask and Langavulin
Bruichladdich Port Charlotte 10YO without doubt.

You know, every time I have had Lagavulin 16 I have been disappointed. Can't explain that one. Everyone talks it up, every once in a while I order it, and then I end up asking myself why I made that mistake again.
Now, the quarter cask, on the other hand...
It's all horses for courses really isn’t it. Really beyond my price range though tbf.
My favourite the quarter ask

Talisker to me is something that has a hint of smoke, something from Highland Park would be a sort of equivalent. ...and if he hasn't had a Bunnahabhain 12 yet, he should.
