I am going to open the bottle of Redbreast Lustau tonight for fathers day.
After dinner and online church service.
I have a smattering of whiskeys and a couple whisky's too.
But nothing compairs to the years of collecting Grant has amassed.

I went to the liquor store today , the fist picture an isle is probably a lot like Grants Scotch collection.
The last picture is for Marco ,look at the size that wine bottle!
Think they call those a Jeroboam.. Nice one on the lustau. Its quite a nice drop that has grown on me. Not sure if i prefer it tho to the good old 12yr old
That bottle would last Marco at least a couple of days.
had a lustau there and now a glen grant... think i prefer redbreast 12 to the lustau jeff.. it needs a splash of water to calm down a bit.. no idea the age, im guessing its a mix of younger than 12 and maybe a liitle of an older. redbreast 12 is one of my favs tho
Redbreast Lustau is 10 years then 1 year in the sherry cask.Quote:

Seems the 200ml. Bottles stayed in the UK.
Most where purchased for fun and not opened.
Seems the last word in recasking , top this one guys.
I hope some thinks to preserve a bottle, the story is just to good to die.
Ive read reviews from its ghastly to its quite good... foul and fishy to not fishy at all... so who knows for sure... i prefer sherry to fishy:eyebrows:Quote:

Mortlach is although in the Speyside region for whisky, considered to be the beast of distilleries, making powerful chewy whisky... They are one of the few to use worm tubs to give that weightiness to the spirit
