| If the Ballantine's 30 year old is the old bottling which came in a crystal decanter it could be quite valuable if unopened. I agree with Mac a superb whisky and so is or i should say was the Longmorn 15. |

Has Gerald got any from these distilleries tucked away on a shelf:
Banff, Brora, Caperdonich, Coleburn, Convalmore, Dallas Dhu, Glen Albyn, Glen Esk, Glenlochy, Glen Mhor, Glenury Royal, Imperial, Inverleven, Littlemill, Lochside, Millburn, North Port, Pittyvaich, Port Ellen, Rosebank, St Magdalene
These distilleries are all silent and some of which are gone for ever so if your friend had any of these they would be pretty special. |

2) No the Ballantine's is not in crystal, I have a royal Dimple/Pinch (img. att.) though. It's going to be a hard one to open as it's a 1985 purchase. The Dimple is pictured with an All Steel Deuce. A 1/18 diecast 1932 Ford by G.M.P. with a Cohiba waiting to get tasted. _________________ -LuCiDFoX

Ok, so Gerald has provided me with images that constitute the front row of his collection and figures we can leave it to other interested parties to decide which we taste next time of which I'll continue my review series.
He's a really good guy so I compiled them together in a master image with the information he also provided me on the companion items in each photo. I also stuck his web page address on there if anyone needs such items, i figured I could maybe offer him that much for his generosity.
The list is below, the image is here .

I don't think you'll go far wrong with any of them.
That Glenrothes looks particularly dark |

| You should probably start drinking the Auchentoshan 12 before the angels have the rest of it. |
