Raffles??????

[Dicky Ticker]

Normally some of the prizes are crap but this one I have won has set me wondering

Johnnie Walker
Red Label
SPECIAL
Old Scotch Wisky
Lead sealed top
By appointment to late King George V

King George V died in 1936 and as far as I am aware you can only use a royal warrant for five years after death. If this is correct this bottle of whisky is 66 years old???????
Should this be the case is it worth putting into a whisky auction as a collectable or just hold on to it. The labels on the bottle are worn but still perfectly readable

Is it the same as LOT 718? (http://www.mctears.co.uk/gs01w8.htm)

[Dicky Ticker]

YES--------Only it is 1/2 bottle size so probably rarer

Depends how much you like whisky ... if you're a connoisseur then I'd be tempted to save it for a very very special occasion and then savour it with a very good friend or two (or three) ... otherwise get in an auction and you can have all the JD in your local Bargain Booze ;-)

Yeh,I do like the odd dram or two,but thats an awful lot of Famous Grouse drams in comparision to a 1/2bottle of 66year old whisky. Me thinks it will be in a future whisky auction and replaced by a case of Grouse:):):):)

Quality not quantity. If you buy a case of Grouse and have it sitting in the house you'll just drink way more than usual and kill your liver!

Christmas day beckons - Drink it Mac!! :smt111
