    Hi All,

    I have been lurking for a few days and have found things really interesting. I have bought a few maples, eagles and a couple of bars from the bay. I am looking forward to improving my knowledge and hopefully not getting stung.

    I live and work in Perthshire Scotland and I am at the time of life, where I want to save a few pounds for my retirement and recon this is an option for the longer term.

    Look forward to hearing from you all,

    Andy

    I know the feeling, its been very wet down here.

    I know your part of the world very well, I was stationed at Kinloss for a short while and passed my driving test in Elgin.

    Good to hear about a group buy I would be keen on that. I have managed to get my eagles and maples from Germany which helps, but I know what you mean about ebay, finding a good UK supply is difficult and the VAT is a bit of a killer. I have a bit of a thing for poured bars and this is quite difficult in this part of the world.

    Haha. Love it.

    Glen Morangie is my favourite (~$75 here), but Famous Grouse is probably one of the best cheapy's at around $30-$35, and the distillery tour was probably one of the better ones that I went to.

    If I lived around Speyside like yourself, I would struggle to stack as much as I do now.

    You mean your stack would have a higher liquidity!
