Hey. I came by these in rather sad circumstances but I thought I'd share.

Some old bottling a including a 50's to 60's bottling of JW Black.

This one looks like a 70's bottling of Glenlivet 12.

And an older bottling (probably 70's) of Remy Martin VSOP with the box came with it.

I'm going to sell these three as they're worth a few quid and I'm not overly fussed about drinking them at that value.

I also got a 1967 bottling is Seagrams Canadian Whisky which had a broken seal, I've started drinking it and it is a beautiful drink.

Sadly they were all found along with a lifetimes worth of other gifts of glass wear, ceramics and others bits that had never been opened all in my step grandfathers garage in Cornwall after he died recently.

Love remy so could only imagine that would be a great tipple at that age

My favourite whiskey of all time, has anyone tried it?
Am interested what you think?

A very nice dram that. You would never guess it was an Islay malt given it's flavour profile.

Tried the new JB Rye tonight very nice

What would you guys recommend for someone new(ish) to whisky. Don't want anything too fierce

[mcdee]

Single malt wise, Glenfiddich 12 or Glenmorangie 10 years old are both good starting points. Glen Moray is also worth a try. For a blend, try Ballantines. Cheers!

agree with macdee re the glenmorangie i always have bottle around as it's easy to drink for people who are not whisky drinkers and if i dont want anything to complex

Got this port cask finish s couple of weeks ago, just having a taste of it now, very nice

Good to know, especially as I've got a bottle stashed away. You can't go wrong with a Port or Sherry cask finish.

I agree with the Glenmorangie in addition Glenlivet is a nice tipple.
