Several houses, 3 years ago when we were there they 'estimated' it's worth @ 3 million pounds. I wonder how much the 'Angels have taken' ?

That's crazy. That's about 2500 a glass. I don't know at what level of wealth that makes sense. But I doubt I'll ever get there.
I try to stay in the 50-75 dollar range. Will splurge once in a while for a couple hundred dollar bottle. Plenty of very good bourbon & scotch out there for under $100.

Save it for guests. I was given a bottle that was overly smoky, which I didn't enjoy. I saved it for guests who did.

After hearing about this for years, finally bought a bottle and shared with my son in laws. Four Roses Single Barrel. A very pleasant surprise!

Just cracked this delicious sipper from Fort Ann NY, a tiny hole in the wall we pass on the way to Vermont.

And a Gurakah stick. Well played sir. I brought some of these with to Aruba. Only one cigar shop here, and it's not great.

Amazing what warm weather will do Brian, a week ago everything was 'white' !

Here in the DC area, it is available at most high-end liquor stores.

I've never been able to find this in the US. Have a friend from Panama that raves about it. Trying it tonight. Was only 108 florin, or ~60 usd

interesting, nothing wrong with a good 'blend', let us know your thoughts after a dram or two ! In the world of blends the 'Dimple Pinch' has always been a favorite.

This is in no way helpful, but I know my (mostly abstemious) parents have a bottle of that Grand Old Parr in the basement. The catch is that it's the same bottle that was there long before I was of drinking age, which was a few decades back...
crack her open, pour into a 'proper vessel', sit back listen to some music and consume !

Well, see, the bottle has been open and about half empty since I first remember seeing it. I don't mind trying next time I'm there, but my guess is that 30+ year old 12 year scotch probably isn't quite the same as "new" 12 year scotch!

Had a few glasses last night on the patio. It's mild, not Smokey at all, nor overly peaty. Quite smooth overall. A bit lighter than I like. I prefer Oban 14 or little bay, but still quite good. I wouldn't say no to a glass.

Thanks for the feedback, from your description it sounds very much like Dewars '12'. Agreed on the Oban, one of my favorite towns and distillery tours when I was there in '17.
