I have a bottle of Glenfiddic single malt was a gift in 1988, has it any extra value ? Just wondering like.

No mate, I don't think it does.

Just enjoy it, although Glenfiddich isn't my favourite malt.

Peaty and smokey. Connemara works. So does Smoke Head.

When I was last in London I was looking for a pleated whisky made by England's St. Andrews Distillery called Chapter Nine. Has anyone tried it?

Had a 10cl bottle of the 25 yo once, it was excellent, and am drinking the 16yo I got for my birthday from the wife a couple of days ago tonight. Absolutely cracking whisky, comparable to Ardbeg Uigeadail for me.

Have you actually tried that one or have you just posted it 'cos you reckon it'd be ace?

I love Lagavulin. The 16 year old is ace, but I had a cask strength bottle (?12 yo) ten years ago and it was fantastic. Unusually, it was a lot smoother than the older variety (the longer a malt is in the cask, and therefore the older it is, the smoother it generally becomes).

Had a small sample bottle (cost about £130!!). It is ace, very ace. The missus gets me a bottle of the 16 year old for birthdays etc, think I might have an uphill struggle getting an upgrade to the 37 yr old though (about 2k a bottle as said before). Tight cow!

Was never into scotch , as at about 13 I drank half a bottle of my da's , it didn't end well for any of us. Me, the bottle, our living room, the dog, or my da.

Fast foward 20 years and my mate poured me a Lagavulin, I am back in the game.
