I don't drink scotch,rather have Cognac or I really like Grand Marnier on a cold winters nite. After long thought,I've had this bottle at least 20 years and I got it off a gentleman who received it as a retirement present,and he was in his 80's.Makes me wonder.

Well then, according to Jason, there is nothing good about it. That being the case, drink it or give it away.

This review of their Special blend is a good read.

At 46 Pounds a bottle hardly a collector item.

Ginger wine and Diet Coke seem to be the favourite mixers........which leads to the conclusion this is not from a family of great whisky.

Lesson 1: If it's spelled whiskey, it isn't scotch. For scotch, it's whisky.

Their 22 year old is listed at about $80 US. I don't know what currency you're viewing. You might find someone who will pay you $50 for what you have, but first we need a little more info to figure out what it is. We need more info from the label.

Personally, I would not be willing to pay that much for a blended whisky. Keep in mind that the longer the whisky stays in the barrel, the more it will taste like a stick! Longer is not necessarily better.

You should try to find out if that bottle is rare and has collector value. If not, pour some in a glass with a splash of distilled water and tell us how it is.
