Buy one of the Rosebank Rare Malts bottles at the The Whisky Exchange and save yourself £1000
Would it not be better to wait for a tasting review to come out that is independent? _________________ Pour me a glass please. |

Nice email to get Mike, do let us know what you decide.
I didn't enter, for this reason.... enter ballot but not committed, leaves for a tough decision on winning a bottle.
If you've got the cash buy it and drink it. |

Buy it, sell it for a modest mark up and then buy lots of other wihisky or the bottle Lincoln Imp suggested above and drink that/those. |

taken the risk and purchased a bottle... (again, not telling my wife)
I might follow arqueturus advice and try and sell it with a moderate mark up and buy some bottles that I will actually open and drink.
Thanks for all your advice, much appreciated.
cheers

Cask 443 just went for £2600 on Just whisky auction so less the small fees roughly £90 profit.
Luckily if a bottle sells for over £1500 with just whisky there are no sellers fees. _________________ Pour me a glass please. |
