I haven't tried it myself, maybe I'll not bother now! ;D
They had it at the Manchester Food & Drink Festival a few months ago but I didn't spot it when we went.

There's a guest cask ale in the Black Swan near us called 'Your Very Good Elf', no idea if it's any good but it's a great name!  |

About 5 years ago someone in the family was given a bottle of whisky by a rep as a xmas present.
Now he does not like whisky,so he gave it to me, i have never opened it because the whisky has a batch number and a bottle number on the label and the year it was brewed 1979.
I finally found two sites that were selling a bottle from the same batch one was asking £199 and the other £175
It was only last week one of the son in laws was saying are you going to crack it open for me.
Glad i did not open it now. ;D

Goodness whisky is safe in your hands Tel. I have had malt at this age and to me it wasn't as good as a 12 years old. Will your bottle increase much in value do you think?
