Just come back from a raiding party on M&S. Heard that they had Islay Single Malt for £14.99. Now for various reasons - health, cost etc - I drink much less than I used to and anyway now prefer quality to quantity so a bottle like that will last me for months.
Anyway, I grabbed the last bottle on the shelf - 10 yr old. OK Fair enough perfectly happy with that.
Half the fun of buying supermarket own brands such as this is trying to work out who actually makes it. Now for Islay malts is relatively simple: there are only about 8 on the island and since M&S kindly stated on the label that it was made for them by Burn Stewart distilleries a simple google pointed me at Bunnahabhain. Not one I know well but I suspect I will find out ...
