How Much?
Alright loyal readers, here's a great chance to make your opinion known. Based on our web traffic I know that there's only 1-2 comments per 100 readers, but I'm hoping that some of the lurkers will give me some feedback on this one. We've been given a chance to pre-order some cases of the Ola Dubh series from the Harviestoun brewery in Scotland. Essentially, it's an 8% imperial porter aged in Highland Park casks. For the first run, they've aged the beer in 12yr, 16yr, and 30yr Highlannd Park Single Malt barrels. If the project is well received they'll continue the series with 40 year and 60 year barrels.
My question to you is this: How much should we get? Outside the reviews, the only information I have is that the bottles are 11.2oz and will apparently cost $10-11 for the 12yr, $11-12 for the 16yr, and $16-18 for the 30yr (Don't quote me on that, prices subject to change, blah,blah blah). I would assume that the more we order the lower the aggregate shipping cost will be, and I'm not sure we'll be able to get more than one order, so I was hoping I could use this post to gauge interest in this series.
Please don't get me wrong, I'm intrigued enough that I'm going to order at least a couple cases of each no matter what, but I want to make sure we get enough for everyone who'd like to try it. Considering the recent frenzy around barrel-aged beers like Abyss and Top Sail, I figured I'd do what I can to keep people informed.
