On the Distilleries pages, links are given to the websites of Royal Mile Whiskies (RMW) and The Whisky Exchange (TWE) for that specific distillery. Links to Loch Fyne Whiskies (LFW), which was an independent shop when this site started out, but have since been absorbed by The Whisky Shop chain, whose prices are usually considerably higher, have now been removed - there are still some references where comparative prices are shown. Links are now given for Master of Malt (MoM), as again they have good prices and their site gives a good history of discontinued bottles. WSD - The Whisky Shop Dufftown are NOT part of the Whisky Shop chain. BBR - Berry Brothers & Rudd; G&M - Gordon & MacPhail.
