Put it a bit of water in it by all means, but that's just drowning the stuff.
Quote:Well I did a search and the only thing I could find was a Glen Grant, nothing fancy 40%vol it was on at £230.00. Shall we say she declined to pay that for a bottle of scotch and I agreed with her. Just checked and the same bottle will knock you back
£1550.00. Just silly money really. I knew whisky was a decent investment but seems to gain in value better than I thought.
Collecting is a weird thing, and don't forget fickle and subject to fashion. Also don't forget that whisky will not improve in the bottle. It's purely about rarity. So it might be 1500 quid, but there is every chance when you open it, well it might not stand up to a 20 quid bottle of Black Grouse.
Personally I just drink the stuff. I'd say if you pick bottles wisely in the range of 20 - 70 quid at UK prices, well you will be drinking some of the best whisky money can buy.
