Isle of Jura not for the beginner might put you off. Follow Sheneval's advice Dalwhinne

I had an English workmate who had tried about 150 malts and when we had a meeting at Elgin he discovered two he had not tried - like a kid with a new toy or two

I should have added 13 year old

Now I am not saying I like whisky but a landlord was retiring on the last night he gave me this, reckoned I'd earned it over the years.

Sorry about the poor picture quality

just to show there is more than one string to my bow, may I recommend Balmenach, a real Speyside malt, chances are if it is the 50 year old one it was made by my dad who worked in the stillhouse at that distillery

Will look nice on your wall

Because of this chat, I have just had a sip of a blended whisky, I won't tell you what as you'd probably laugh but it instantly reminded me of some of the worst nights of my life

[Potstubsdustbins]

I used to holiday with a friend we chose our holiday destination by whether they had a good selection of malts. Even found a place on the Somme though it were slightly expensive.

Ap - will be worth a fortune - - don't drink it and don't lose it or break it - at that age they sell for thousands

[Potstubsdustbins]

VC some blends would remind me of the worst nights of my life and days.

Sheneval its does, look nice that is, it came with a nice mahogany frame

[Sheneval]

VP - I did mention the terrible hangovers

[veggiechicken]

From VP

[Sheneval]

VC - apologies - talking about the drink has gone to my head

[Potstubsdustbins]

Just checked Balmenach Glenlivet 1961 in the cask for 24 years £850.

Thats an expensive bit of a tot ty
