Raffles??????
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 |

Re: Raffles??????
YES--------Only it is 1/2 bottle size so probably rarer

Re: Raffles??????
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

Re: Raffles??????
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

Re: Raffles??????
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!
