P.S. How much did you paid for?

[peatjunkie]

Thanks for the info,that is a huge list of vintage casks.
I bought it as it was such an old one an the first release,I payed a lot of money for it.
But it's propably worth it,would they not choose the best cask in the warehouse as a first release to set standards for all releases to follow.

If I open it I will definatly think of you,this will propably happen on the Lindores whiskyfest in the next few years,I am a member of the organising Lindores whiskyclub.

Only 90 bottles made and bottled in 1996...what are the odds two would sell this year. Welcome to the club

Hi,
Can anone help with a rough valuation for this cask?
I have numbered bottles 5 and 6, in the original cartons and with the outer case as well (case origanally had three bottles in it).
I bought them at a charity auction that my mother organised - she having worked for Mr Sandy for 36 years in quality before she retired.
Many thanks,
Paul
