I have not even posted my tasting notes to the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, and I am already talking about the next Bottle-Share… Here it goes:

The 4th Bottle-Share is coming up in a while. This time, I am planning to share some bottles of the Bladnoch Forum. The guys at Bladnoch bottle some casks they have from (mostly) Diageo distilleries into single casks that are available for their forum members to buy at very reasonable prices (not to say cheap).

The bottles that I plan to share will be listed below, but I have to say that it is all in a quite early stage and their stocks may change by the time I am ready to order them.

This is how it works:
I will ask around (through here, Twitter, Facebook and some e-mails) to find people who want to join in this Bottle-Share, and by the time I think there will be no more participants added to the list I will order the bottles.

In total, the Bottle-Share will consist of 8 samples of 5cl. Everyone will receive one of each sample of course and I will supply a small description about each distillery, the Bladnoch guys and some general information about the Bottle-Share.

Of course, the idea behind a Bottle-Share is not to make money, but to be available to taste a larger variety of whisky, without having to buy a full bottle of each. The costs will be kept to a minimum and will consist only of the whisky itself, the sample bottles and a little coverage for printing and labels.

Some people have already expressed their interest in participating in this Bottle-Share, so I only need a few more people to make it all happen. Of course, it is possible to order a second set of bottles, if I can fill all spots in that one too. Unlike the SMWS Bottle-Share, the second set will only happen if I completely fill it, the SMWS ones were a bit expensive, since I had to take up 5 spots…

The whiskies that I have planned for this Bottle-Share are the following:

• Benrinnes 25, 51%
• Balmenach 26, 52.8%
• Cambus 24, 52.7% (single grain)
• Cragganmore 19, 53.8%
• Dailuaine 26, 53.1%
• Glenburgie 26, 53.7%
• Teaninich 27, 50.7%
• Bladnoch 18, 55% (OB)

Quite the list, if I may say so. Now for the fun part: a 5cl sample of these whiskies will only cost you € 45,-.

If you have any interest in participating, you can leave a comment below, contact me on Twitter, Facebook or Skype! The samples will be sent out at the end of May, because I will have been able to pick up the bottles at Bladnoch distillery by then.
