Surely it's the personalised metal Guardian card you need. The key is for when you visit the distillery!

Alternatively, find Ian and keep him talking when he has a bottle or two of good stuff in his hand - seems to work wonders every year!

Maybe we just all use Les' key and rib the bottle

[Ian Logan]

Good Afternoon,

Just to clear up the card v. key question. It will be your key that you need this year....Les has got it right.
IWC, not sure what you mean by "rib the bottle" but the people on here who have met me know I wont give it up without a fight....lol. If you are going come past the stand and say hello.
Hope to see as many of you as possible next week.

Hi Ian looking forward to meeting up with you again next week. And I have to say that in my experience Ian has always been good to speak with and a generous host.

[RufusA]

Thanks everyone for clarifying the key thing - it would have been a tradegy to turn up without a way of enjoying the special dram.

Must remember to check the Glenlivet site now again, and looking forward to meeting a few familiar faces at WL.

Rufus.

[LagaDrinker]

Just registered, will I get my key in time...

[Paul A Jellis]

Can I find my key in time . . . ?

[LagaDrinker]

The clock is ticking...

Ian

Luckily it was a miss print so no i did not mean rob it

Yes will definitely drop by ... looking forward to this new creation.

I thought I'd get to use it last year but it did not suit in the end.

I have my key attached to my keyring

ready to .....

UNLOCK AND LOAD

[irishwhiskeychaser]

On a side note what does 'Faemussach' mean ... actually I'll hold on that question till Saturday

It reminds me of an Irish gaelic word uafásach which I assume has no resemblence as uafásach means horrible

On the contary I'm sure it is iontach (wonderful)

Looking forward to tasting it and possibly the now famous Nádurra.

[RufusA]

Isn't Faemussach the name of the local peat bog - does this imply that it has a certain unexpected hint of smoke?

Though probably part of the marketing inspired alphabetical naming sequence for the seemingly annual special single casks that bought us "Eclipse" last year.

Ian is Faemussach going to be available to buy / win / be given away at WL?

There's nothing worse than falling in love with a whisky that is unatainable!

Rufus.

[Ian Logan]

Rufus,

Sorry to say that Faemussach wont be available for sale. It was an experiment last year with Eclipse, successful as it was we aren't in a position to repeat it.
Faemussach is the name of the peat bog where the distillery used to cut its peats from. The site is still in use today, though not by us, and is situated on the road from Glenlivet to Tomintoul.
Lagadrinker...... I will be very surprised if you recieve your key on time but please make sure you catch up with me on the stand and we will sort something out.

Hi Ian that is a shame that it's not for sale. With a run out of 542 bottles us I'm sure the Guardians would have loved the opportunity of being able to purchase this one.

Thankfully I will be attending on Saturday, after originally fearing that I may not be able to.

From what I have read about the Faemussach, I have to say that I'm disapointed that I wont be able to buy any.

Now I have to rumage around and try and find that key.

I unfortunately lost my key and card in a car fire and can't find on the Guardian website how to request a new one so will be without either at the event

Whisky Live London 2009
Saturday is now sold out and no tickets will be available on the door.

There are still tickets for Friday Gala Evening and masterclasses.

This is the first time I have booked to come to this event. I booked quite a while ago (3rd Jan) and the only options were for the different days. I did not get any further emails to say I could now book for the masterclasses so assumed that the masterclasses where to be bought on arrival. I now notice that these were available online and further more that they are now sold out so I have no chance of going to any! I am more than a little upset by this as I was looking forward to booking myself on several when I arrive Saturday morning. I am really disappointed by this lack of communication and seemingly poor organisation, if I was not already financially committed to go I would consider canceling!

[LagaDrinker]

It stated on the website all along that the master class tickets would go on sale at the end of January.

They were a little late being put up but it was definately on the website all along.

Also Pippa posted on this thread that they were on sale at least two weeks ago.

It must be disappointing missing out though

I am a newcomer to this thread so would not have known to look and going back through the posts I can not seem to see the post you mention.

If the information was on the website then I apologise but I am unable to see where it might have been and there do not seem to be any reference there now

I am just upset that I will miss out on attending any as this was supposed to be my Birthday weekend away

[Hereward]

I am distraught. I've been looking forward to this all year, having bought a ticket at the door last year and thoroughly enjoying myself. Unfortunately, I had a possible work commitment so wasn't able to buy tickets in advance until today and now I find they're sold out. Gutted.

Sorry to hear that I had a similar issue last year as I found out that this event existed too close to the date to be able to arrange anything

[monkey]

I have a couple of spare tickets (selling at face value) for Saturday afternoon 2-5 if anyone is interested. Am going tonight to the venue so would be best to meet there anytime after 5. Am leaving the office now but please call if you are interested 07773 868 751.

[LagaDrinker]

Hi All

I've just put some more masterclasses online and I'm waiting for one more so will put that up as soon as I get the information

Thanks
Pippa

From page 1

[les taylor]

I guess the moral of the story is to check in daily until all the information becomes available. And not to book right at the last minute.

[ClubSmed]

From page 1

I read this as "I have put the details of some more masterclasses online" not "I have put some masterclasses online which you will now be able to buy tickets for if you are interested"

I don't think that I could have read the later into it in all fairness

I'd be eternally grateful! I've left a message on your phone. Thanks again!

OK, I feel really sorry you missed out on the master classes. I did too but only because I couldn't decide. I hope you still have a great show. Its my first one so I am hoping there will be enough to keep us amused the rest of the time. See you there, really looking forward to it now

[JimP]

It is a shame that you have missed out on the master classes this year. As have I, my fault though, I delayed and lost out. I went last year and did get an opportunity, great experience. Getting excited now for tomorrow, all the best, you will have a great day.

[les taylor]

What a fantastic day. Venue was superb. Met many lovely people. Full report later. Great thanks to Whisky Magazine and all it's staff for putting on such really good event in bueatiful surrondings.

[LagaDrinker]

I have a great day too. Will post full report later as well. Met Clubsmed, Ian Logan and Rob. Lovely venue and a great day

[ikendal]

me too, excellent time. great venue, but... notable absences.

[ClubSmed]

I had a great day and there was plenty to spend my time on without the master classes. This though is probably because it was my first year, will know to book master classes online next year.

It was good to meet all the people that I did and am really looking forward to next year

[Paul A Jellis]

Another great Whisky Live! Thanks must go the team who organise it and to the exhibiters who were there (and sucks yah boo to those who were not!). Come on guys you need to be there, it really does affect my spending over the next few months.

It was great to meet some old friends and make some new ones. I liked the new venue, and so did some of the exhibiters that I spoke to. It was a longer tube jouney but a much shorter walk at the other end.

See you there next year!
