ANNOUNCEMENT!!
Finally decided on our bottling of the year! It was whittled
down from either Ardmore OB or An Cnoc 16 to Ledaig CC 1990. All three
are worthy of the accolade but the Ledaig
wins on unusualness of taste and the unexpected suggestion. The better
sell of the three, our customers are very happy with it.

Phew! Back to work after a relaxing(!) week plugging Scotch
and our services. RockNess Festival near Inverness saw a slightly smaller
Loch Fyne Whisky Bar than at Connect
and five days at the BBC Summer Festival had us handing out 8,000 sample
of the Loch Fyne Liqueur, universally appreciated!
Now, lots of new products to announce but we have a bit
of tasting to do before they all go on line, firstly there is the new
Ardbeg...

THE RIGHT WHISKY FOR YOU
As of now Loch Fyne Whiskies is to employ the Malt
Whisky Flavour Map that has been developed by Dave Broom and the
experts at Diageo.
Within our Browse & Buy section grid references are starting to appear
against bottlings which, when checked against the Flavour Map, quickly
demonstrates how Light or Rich and how Smoky or Delicate a whisky is
compared to ones you already know, so now you can explore LFW.co.uk
(and the LFW Stock List) with more confidence. Whiskies that appear
towards the outer edges of the Flavour Map will tend to have more single-minded
character. The more a whisky moves towards the middle of the Flavour
Map, the more it tends to have a combined balance of flavour characteristics.
Over the next few months we will be adding more references to make this
a truly comprehensive resource.
Any questions or comments here please.

The Legend of LFW, part III Continued from here (and starts here)
We thought there must be dozens of whisky shops in Scotland in 1993, no, yellow pages confessed to just two. The Cairngorm Whisky Centre in Aviemore and "The Whisky Shop" in Glasgow and Edinburgh. A visit to Glasgow found a boarded up shop and a neighbouring shop that confirmed that they had 'gone bust', ouch!
Not a good omen for our new venture...

APRIL FOOLS THAT WE ARE...
Today may as well be the day we start increasing prices, OB bottlings initially, independents over the next few days.
We have Chancellor Darling's increase (that turns into 70-80p per 40% bottle). We also note many producers are using the opportunity to increase their prices as well, allegedly (potential) demand in China is putting a strain on stocks, what nonsense!
Even our own Loch Fyne and Loch Fyne Liqueur are about to suffer increased production costs.
Simple advice is drink better and appreciate more.
SO, BY WAY OF COMPENSATION, we have reduced the UK shipping charge from ?7.50 to ?5.00, for April only which is otherwise a dull month for mail order trade, thanks to Mr. Darling for his contribution to that.
