by **peterekstrom** » Wed Feb 09, 2005 1:10 pm

Hello all.
I'm lloking for a nice whisky distilled in 1971, the year I was born.
I would appreciate if you can give me a tip/idea where to buy and what to buy.
Please supply me with internet links.

Well.
I'm afraid I have to spend quite a bit of money to land a nice whisky. I'm therefore open to almost any suggestions.
I'd rather spend a large amount of money on a really nice whisky than a little on a mediocre one, if you understand what I mean? After all, I'm only planning on turning 40 once in my lifetime and I guess then it will be quite some whisky to open :wink:

I saw the Glenmorangie '71 here for about US$225.

The Glenmorangie 1971 is the best Glenmorangie I've ever had, buy it!

Lawrence, can you recommend it to someone who, like me, generally doesn't like Glenmorangie a whole lot?

the 1971 glenmorangie is nothing like the 10 year old or the 15 or 18 year old it is lovely rich spices licorice gently warming a long finnish
glenmorangie at its best i am selling a bottle to someone i looked around at some prices the $225.00 is a good price all the ones ive seen were $circa $350.00 to $450.00
if i can help let me know i am in england

I'm also from the fine and rare vintage of 1971!!

I've decided to buy a bottle of Macallan 1971 vintage at £430.
Distilled at 1971 and bottled 2001.
Hopefully I can afford this in may... Then I can have it on my shelf for almost a year before I open it up on my 35:th birthday!! :lol:

Town & Country Liquors, West Springfield, Massachusetts, USA. I forgive you. :wink:

Yes, I can recommend the Glenmorangie 1971 to you, it's very different with more depth and polish.

Oh, you live in the Colonies, MrTattieheid?
I thought you forgotten to add a link to your message. :wink:

I'ts very nice of you to look for whisky "over there" for me but I guess it would almost be cheaper for me to buy a distillery in Scotland than a bottle of fine whisky from where you live. :cry:

Hopefully I've found a Glenmorangie -71 for a reasonable sum. I'll let you all know. Meanwhile, perhaps you guys could help me look for Internet shops in Europe selling whisky from -71 and let me know if you find one?

Best Regards
