Lots of ice and mixed with some cola, it should be pretty good.

'We believe Mortlach 70 Years Old is a malt without comparison. In other words, there is nothing special about it except for the price.

Hmmm, buy a new car or get a bottle of scotch.
I’m still considering...
Given the difference between the 12 and 30 I’ve had, I can only imagine what 70 tastes like.

IIRC, some cases of whiskey were discovered in Antarctica from the Shackleton expedition. That stuff would be about 40 or 50 years older then.
To: Moonman62
That was kind of my impression.
Not being the least bit of even a more than the tiniest sip maybe once in 20 years . . . sort of partaker . . .
would it taste any different than paint thinner after all those years?
i.e. would there be ANY interesting flavor? Or is it all hype over the age?

I’m a beer man but I will occasionally dab a little Southern Comfort or VO.

At what point (in years) does the quality actually start to decline?

Ya, but it stops aging when in glass. Unique for sure but nothing like setting in a barrel for 50 years.

Were they bottled? This stuff was aged in the barrel and just recently bottled.

True its older, however it doesn’t age in the bottle!
I wouldn’t pay for it but I bet its exceptional!

From the article::::’The spirit and the wood have inter-reacted beautifully over this long period of time.
‘It’s very exotic-tasting whisky made before the Second World War, but purely from a flavour perspective it is just astonishing, with layers of flavour which you really only get with long maturation.
