I have a bottle of 25 Year old MacAllan Fine oak that lies in a cupboard and have started to look at the market to see what its worth. Must say I am pleasantly surprised.

Ebay seems a poor way to sell whisky, does anyone on here know the whisky market and where best to sell?

i don't know if this is the one you have
Macallan 25 yr old, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (Scotland) 750ml




$825 £495.89 item macallan25


Available in limited quantities, the full-flavored 25 Year Old Macallan is the essence of everything that is The Macallan--a beautiful color, a heady nose, an exquisitely mellow flavor. The rare product drinks like a fine brandy.

The Macallan was one of the first Highland distilleries to take out a licence in 1824, since when it has been distilled by generations of craftsman on a small estate over looking the River near Craigellachie.

The key to understanding The Macallan lies in the Company's total dedication to quality and attention to detail. A purposefully tradtionalist distillery, no shor cuts are taken in time, investment and production of "the best glass" (Kingles Amis). Alongside its unusally small handbeaten copper stills, The Macallan is perhaps best known for its insistence on sherry aging.

The Macallan malt whisky is matured excluvisely in sherry oak casks from the bodegas of Jerez, Spain. The Spanish oak casks are hand-picked annually then seasoned for taste

I think it is worth about £200 but I may be wrong.

It all depends on the bottle date.

EHEM...I should point out, as it's only fair, that Grendel and myself are the official Whisky tasters on TP and no malt may be discussed without our official taste test first :naughty:

Much as I like you all ...erm ......nah:cuckoo::naughty:
 
I once got a 60 year old malt from a distillery no longer operating - I drank it with my FiL on a night when I had nothing else. Later I discovered it was worth - wow! Too late! It wasn't even a good malt. :)

Hmmm what d'ya think Yv, ban? :D
 
Just one little taste? :love: :)
 
I think the most i spent one a bottle was £250. Two of us clubed together for it. We normally get a bottle about £150 twice a year but we just thought sod it with that one.
 
I have a bottle of Balvenie 30 on the go, not that I would have gone out and bought it, I won it and it seemed rude to ebay it. Have to say it is rather nice.

Unfortunatly that would in a likelyhood be a "sherry" Macallan, which is quite different from a "Fine Oak".

However as they don't offer the 25yr old Fine Oak anymore It'll certainally be collectable. FYI. They now offer a 21yr old which retails at £120, so It'll be worth more than that.

There is a large Whisky collecting movement around the world(There used to be a auction house in Keith, near to you, But the story goes the guy that owned it fled with everybody's bottles and money!!!).

Bonhams in Edinburgh have a Whisky Dept, so you could give them a ring, they may have a buyer waiting.

Or you could hang on to it, It'll appriciate in value, I've got a Macallan Grand Reserva, which at the last valuation was worth £300, but that was a few years ago, but looking at some of the prices in the above links, It'll be worth 5 times that now:eek:. Which is not bad considering I got it for nothing.
 
Bruichladdich is my tipple now...picked up a little mini gift pack a year or so ago and it's a very nice malt.

Thoroughly recommended for anyone who's a big malt fan.

Auchentoshan's the only lowland I've tried. I bought my old man a good Campbeltown malt a year or so ago for xmas...that was stunning.

Longrow 14yr old which was airy enough to be lowland but with a good smack of smokiness and salty seaweedy sort of taste. Sort of like a jack of all trades really. But it does work very very well.

The last one I got given to me as a corporate perk type thing (photography does have some benefits) was Penderyn which is the Welsh one...not tried English whisky though. That could be interesting.

What's the Japanese like? I've been tempted to buy a bottle for a while but always slightly nervous! :)

I didn't even know there was an Indian whisky lol
