This one I understand is rare and it is available at a pub I can access. Has anyone had the opportunity to taste it? Comments? _________________ "Always carry a large flagon of whisky in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake."

| Going for £340 a bottle +commission at recent auctions. Very,very rare, consequently no one has drunk it for years!! How much is the pub charging for a dram?? |

It's pretty steep, $66.00 Canadian an ounce or equivalent of 42 pounds per ounce. However, The Whisky Exchange has a bottle on for 700 pounds. _________________ "Always carry a large flagon of whisky in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake."

| It is steep, however it's a once in a lifetime opportunity, I've never seen this in a bar before and you'll remember the dram long after you've forgotton the cost. I can still remember the dram my friends got me on my 21st, a 1937 Smiths Glenlivet in the Outside Inn in Glasgow .....see you never forget a great dram |
