|
|
Has anyone else noticed how steeply Compass Box secondary market prices are rising.
In particular, bottles like: The General, The Last Vatted Grain; and The Last Vattted Malt.
Anyone any ideas as to what's prompted this sudden surge in popularity? |

Well you know what they say about fools and their money. Easily parted.
It may be that they are limited release from a (in)famous bottler. Once it's gone it's gone, and people like to be able to say "that Last Vatted Malt? Yeah very got one of those" _________________ "Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whisky is barely enough." |

| I like several of the Compass Box selections but I'm not going to pay extra for them. |
