i have a bottle of black bowmore final edition,number 1500.
i keep thinking of selling it to enable me to buy something else and yet i always hesitate and then put it back in the cupboard.
i havent anything specific that i would like to buy if i sold the bowmore.
what would you do?

It all depends on what the purpose of buying it in the first place was and if you actually like Bowmore.
Personally, I'm not a big Bowmore fan. Whilst I'd like to try this I wouldn't be willing to blow a couple of grand for a taste.
There are other things out there that I'd rather drink a bottle of which I wouldn't normally afford; such as an OB Port Ellen or a 40yo Balvenie.
If it were me, I'd flog the Bowmore and buy the 2 above.....or buy one of the above and reinvest the rest into some other bottles, like the Macallan Corronation release, which is guarenteed to massiving increase in value. _________________ "Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whisky is barely enough."

Being a whisky drinker rather than a collector i wouldnt be able to resist opening it but i suppose that is hard to do if it is worth a huge amount more than you paid for it and it will enable you to buy a few special bottles.
