yoda Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 A Glengoyne 18, a Kilchoman 10th Edition, and a Badachro Bad na h-Achlaise are the options for bringing in the bells. I think this is the first time ever that I've had more than 2 bottles to choose from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Steele Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Really enjoying this Ben Bracken 16yo. Braw. Going well with a mince pie. Or two. Happy New Year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Had this Glenfiddich 18 miniature sitting for a while. Seemed fitting to crack it open to end this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Had a Glengoyne 18 and a Glen Scotia 15 for the bells. Both very nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gannonball Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) Tonights tipple 21yo glen moray via smws. Update: I haven't a great deal of cask strength whisky that age but it needed more water than I expected. Wasnt expecting such a sherry kick either for a refill hogshead. Its up my street but not what I was expecting. Would have thought a tiny bit smoother and subtle.

superbigal Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Not everyones favourite but I do not think £25 comes around often for Cardhu Reserve https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cardhu-Reserve-Single-Scotch-Whisky/dp/B00PA8Y828/ref=sr_1_5?crid=13LDTRORCHRTV&dchild=1&keywords=whisky&qid=1610654832&refinements=p_76%3A419158031%2Cp_36%3A406397031&rnid=355251031&rps=1&s=grocery&sprefix=wh%2Caps%2C182&sr=1-5 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 My barren, whiskyless Christmas has been forgotten. My birthday this week (one ending in a 0) and I'm back to looking for space in the cabinet. Spoiler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoonsYouthTeam Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Who can tell me anything about this whisky? I was gifted this when I was born in 1987 with a label on the bottom advising it wasn't to be opened until my 18th which has long came and gone.I think I'm going to keep it for my 40th or if we have another child. I came across it the other day when cleaning out a cupboard and although I never cared much for whisky before I've been starting to get onto it these last few years and realised I have no idea what to expect. Is it just what a standard bottle of Bells was back then?What's the longest anybody has kept a bottle of whisky for? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice bit of history and long since discontinued but a quick spin round the auction sites suggests it is not worth very much. I expect the sentimental value will be significantly higher to you than any monetary value. Get it cracked open and enjoy it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The caps have a wee disc inside which can fail over time but your bottle level looks not too bad for 30+ years.I have 2 bottles ive put away recently for my kids 18ths. Hope they last the distance.There is a ralfy video on youtube on storage, the answer is really dependant on the conditions you store it in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
