£1000 a dram!

Having just read about Johnnie Walkers new 1805 super, duper, premium blended whisky, I don’t think that I will be lucky enough to taste it. Whilst producing a whisky from long closed distilleries that have been aged way in excess of 45 years is a noble and enterprising achievement, it is certainly one that is beyond the reach of most whisky lovers.

These few hundred bottles will probably find there way into collector’s hands and will never see the real light of day and the purpose for which they were made. Unlike a grand master painting, to appreciate a bottle of vintage whisky you have to taste it, just looking at it seems almost masochistic.
