For every invoice I submit to a client, I'm treating myself to a new bottle (within reason); but the Kelpie will be a treat, something to spend my birthday £££ on from back in August

One bottle I still have is an Edradour Chateauneuf du Cape cask; bought it on our honeymoon back in Dec 2010 and you cant buy it any more; I bought 2 of each of the 4 cask bottles back then; hopefully they'll grow in value :D

The Kelpie is rather good, but quite different from the Corry and Uig.

Whisky is for drinking, not looking at.

Indeed, but the general idea is to finish one off first, then open and enjoy the next one, and so forth...;)

It's not the temp that's the issue, but once you let air into the bottle.

Marco.

There is air let into the casks during the ageing process.
I don't have a problem with any of them tasting "off". Personally, I enjoy the differences between the whisky, and would find it rather boring to stick to one bottle at a time.
My choice, and my whisky. :cool:

:cheers:

Yeah, absolutely! Just a rather expensive way of going about it, that's all:)

Marco.

You only live once. Whilst you are here, you may as well enjoy it. ;)

Defo:thumbsup:

Marco.

I will have some of those bottles for a long time, as a couple of them are really dire!
In fact, I am thinking of adding coke so that I can finish the Knockando 18 and the Peat Monster. :lol:

I'm told the latter is rather good for curing warts:eyebrows:

Marco.

Or clearing drains.
