I will be seriously impaired by alcoholic beverages........!!! GO PATS!!!!!!!!!!!
Very loudly, I presume.How do you enjoy the game then?
Please do tell us what you think of it when you've had a taste. I'm a Scotch-lover but have never had the occassion to drink 50 year old Scotch, so I'm very curious.
i had some famous grouse bottled in 1947 about 8 years ago when i first met my wife. it was unbelievable. best scotch i have ever tasted. it had virtually no bite whatsoever, and was smooth as eggnog. the fire would well up in your throat several seconds after it had gone down, allowing you to fully taste the scotch. the smell was to die for too.
i came home to her and her ***** friends drinking it all mixed with coke playing some freakin drinking game! (there was cheap black label in the cabinet, too!)
consequently, she buys me a decent bottle once a year. not nearly as good as the grouse was though

Just did some research... looks like my pricing is off unless you get the 29yr cask strength listed on their site @ 348.77$ or (175gbp). Also, most of their stuff seems to be blended scotch whiskey, much like, if not a bit better then the higher end Johnny Walker Blue label.
Ironically, I thought I was at the pinnacle of alcohol when drinking JW: Blue label, but I was then introduced to Single Malt Scotch, and haven't been back since. But it is a whole different ball game then blended.
Don't forget, he said bottled in 1947. Scotch doesn't age in a bottle like it ages in a cask.Just did some research... looks like my pricing is off unless you get the 29yr cask strength listed on their site @ 348.77$ or (175gbp).

i think you are looking at new prices. this was i believe 18yr scotch that was sold in '47. might have been a 15yr i dont remember exactly

Although I'll be having me a glass of Glenfiddich 18 year tonight with a CAO Italia in a couple of hours.
I am more on a modest income so I will have to settle for the Crown Royal...as apposed to the 12 year old stuff, but I will prolly be enjoying that...looking forward to Saturday, seems like a while since the boys played...
