Doug Dastardly Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Sell it and replace with fine wine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Not sure about that. I used to order £100+ bottle of wine in the up market restaurants and, to be honest, they didn't taste any better than the £15 bottles. I guess I'll keep it and wait for an occasion to open it.

Doug Dastardly Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I guess I'll keep it and wait for an occasion to open it. Probably not a bad idea. The return on investment may be as good as anything else you have! Until of course you open it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windy Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Whisky only ages in the cask. As soon as it is bottled it stands still in time. What is all the fuss about - just drink it!!! If you want proper Whisky go to Islay on the west coast of Scotland. There you'll have 8 to choose from on the island. When you are finished with that go across to Jura on the ferry. There's a nice hotel across the road where you can eat fresh langoustines and scallops rounded off with a dram of Superstition - lovely!!!!

pistonbroke 2 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 was a single malt snob for years , tried and tested em all . among my faves was highland park and talisker . 4years ago a fellow s.m. imbiber discovered The Bailey Nichol Jarvey. B.N.J. its available from Morrisons and costs around 18 quid a bottle. If you like a excellent smooth whisky I urge you to try this one . Oh. Heck promised to keep the secret to myself. if demand goes up then so will the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 One of the few occasions on which I became very drunk was on Suntory Red Japanese whisky (whiskey?) - in Japan. I'll come back to this later and bore you all a little more with the circumstances... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Verona Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 Windy, I agree but don't do drinking on my own. Sounds like I need some freinds round. I'll have to educate the French on fine whisky drinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cast iron Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Even the Japanese admit their whisky is poor, most bars and restaurants I've been to in Japan are usually proud to show ioff there Scottish selection, oh and the price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll find many a Japanese bar/restaurant owner lurking in the duty free shops at airports. They buy the expensive malts costing 3 or 4 hundred pounds a bottle then sell a nip to their customers for £20 - £50 a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tolf Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 A few years ago, i flew up to Islay from Hetts on my little Cherokee 6 plane. Good trip and Islay whisky = great drink, of course we needed to taste all of them so that meant 8 trips to the distilleries and lots of tasting!! Think the liver has recovered now Norm, i'm coming to Fougeres tonight. Meet me there with the drinks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
