I hope and assume your are correct that the price of £32.40 is in fact for 25kg and not far 25g as it says on the web page.

Yes. on checking back it does say per 25kg but having checked it four times before it was definitely not showing that when I first went to it.

However, for a whisky I would personally prefer this one, though somewhat dearer.

yes seen that one also, cheap when you consider the finished product, the better the mash the better the finished product, I suppose a poor mash will produce a poor finished product.

I believe that the first Barley linked to here was the one I was alerted to a couple of years ago my old Irish friend, Less than 29 Euros delivered then, and it produced a very good whiskey, being Irish.
