  @Stoatgobbler Which Aberlour did you try? The Aberlour A'bunadh http://www.connosr.com/whisky/speyside/aberlour/aberlour-abunadh/ is a much celebrated sherried whisky and quite affordable, depending on the batch number. Last time I checked you could pick a bottle up for £31 in Waitrose. It packs a punch though, at up to 62% ABV (again depending on the batch).

  @olivier regarding point D you need to read this thread http://connosr.com/wall/discussion/28382/sneaking-new-whiskies-past-the-wife/ :)

  I'm coming to this discussion quite late, having been away for a few days, but I must say that I've really enjoyed reading through this thread. It just shows that people really care about the development of this network. It actually matters to people, which is great, that is the essence of a community. For the benefit of those who have had input and for Connosr themselves (who have stated that they are listening), I think it might be worth re-capping on some of the solutions suggested. If I have missed anything please shout. Writing a review: Could we have two options for scoring 1) a simple 0-10 star rating AND 2) a 0-100 scoring method where we type in number Could we also have the option not to score a review For simplicity, when averaging review scores, a star rating would be multiplied by 10 e.g 8.5 becomes 85 (rather than introducing a complex equation to standardise the two types of scoring) Reading a review: Can you show the score and the scoring method with the review Could you show some contextual information (or a 'quick profile') about the reviewer next to the review itself e.g number of reviews, link to their reviews, perhaps an extra field for their profile where they can briefly define their scale Can you show a summary how other members have scored/reviewed that bottle 'what others thought' ? I think these are most of the points which people seemed to agree on.
