Back to Aberdeen from Heathrow tonight and stumbled across this -

http://www.dfnionline.com/article/Diageo-launches-Johnnie-Walker-art-galleries-at-London-Heathrow-1866716.html

Only 750 bottles so probably a good collectible but appears to be standard blue in a fancy bottle. So close to buying one to keep but chicken out. Does anyone think this is a decent buy?

Regards

Rob

750 bottles is very limited for a Johnnie Walker release and i am sure this would have been a good buy as it would be sought after by the Johnnie Walker collectors but no point in paying the extra if you were simply going to drink it, you may as well buy the standard Jihnnie Walker Blue Label if you were going to drink it.

In a slightly bizarre work twist I'm back at Heathrow depatures Terminal 5 24 hours after I left! I have however taken this as a sign and splashed out £299 on the fore mentioned bottle. Must be mad paying £120 above the standard blue for a fancy bottle, but we'll see!

Rob, I probably would have bought it too.

I hope it works out to be a good buy for you rob. There are some very serious Johnnie Walker collectors around so i cant see you losing anything on this one.
