Harviestoun Ola Dubh

Anyone here ever had this? One of the first beers to come with a brewing provenance... All beers can be traced in the process, including numbered oak barrels from the Highland Park distillery, used to age different whisky. I'm currently debating whether to drop £25* on 5 bottles... One of each of the range, 12yo, 16yo, 28yo, 30yo and 40yo. Interested to see the difference in flavours.

*Will also be buying SWMBO a bottle of rum, to cover my ash.

Interesting! Not sure if we have that here or not, I haven't seen it. This is the brewery that does Bitter and Twisted, right? That's a good one.

Cheers,
G

Yep, that's the guys! Love bitter&twisted, also Engine Oil (which Ola Dubh is based on, Ola Dubh = Black Oil).

Yeah, based on those two this sounds like a must try. I'm going to start looking, hope these are available here.

Cheers,
