Can I have opinions on this please (photo direct from website)

I have seen a 30 year old before in a wooden box with a blue label. Is this a recent release at all? Also, what are the prices, again on the internet I can find no bottles that have a white label and are seemingly very expensive.

Dont quote me on this but if i recall correctly this was available around 3 years ago, difficult to get hold of now.

Same fine oak, older packaging. I'd not pay any more for this over the newer (natural wood box) releases.

Big Mac switched to wooden boxes for the high -end stuff just before their last but two price increase.....

I have had a bottle of this and have also had the pleasure of it at tastings on a couple of occasions. Very much as you would expect it to be, a light sherry influence, bit of orange, vanilla, some spice and quite drying oak after a few mouthfuls.
