High bid on Scotch Auction...

You know that works out to $2,500 a shot or most likely at least $5,000 a taste in a bar. :0
 
Ray will that be the taste you'll offer at this year's herf????
 
Mike Jackson reviewed that same Scotch and only gave it an 80. Predictably, he noted that the wood flavors dominated the tasting. You'd think after that long in wood (around 60 something years before it was bottled, right?), it'd just taste like a log someone dug out of a peatbog.
 
I'd still rather give it a go myself then believe everything MJ has to say. :cool:

If you've got $54,000 just laying around, then...

1.) Adopt me
2.) Buy yourself a bottle and post your tasting notes :D

I would be real skeptical to just buy a bottle before tasting. I just can't imagine that, after that long in a barrel, that the wood wouldn't just completely overpower the other flavors.
 
You can find and read my review of the 50 yo Glenlivet I have.
