Just a quick update on the Special Releases from Diageo for this autumn. It seems I have to sell another kidney to get a sip of all of them. Bottle-Share anyone? I can try to get them all if enough people are willing to cough up the cash…

Gonna need to caugh up a lot of cash for that bottle share mate. 😉
Yeah. Assuming the prices are comparable in NL it’s still a bit over € 200 each. I’ll pass… I can think of many a bottle I can buy for that much cash.
