I heard about this one the other day, I am sure they will have no problem selling it.

I wonder what other whisky bottlings will be available before the big day.

I am sure we will see a Bells decanter to mark the event

I think we may see quite a few bottlings to mark the occasion

I think there will be a few whiskies jumping on the royal bandwagon but the English Whisky Co bottling could be one to invest in considering that it is the only English whisky.

There is definitely a lot of interest in William & Kate Royal Wedding Commemorative bottlings, i have lost count of the amount of emails i have received from every corner of the world via the site asking what Royal Wedding whisky will be available and when it will be available.

I am sure there will be a lot of non whisky drinkers and non whisky collectors that will buy royal wedding whisky just for the keepsake of the event.

I cant see any numbers Andy, looks like the number of bottles will depend on the demand which could be high if they market it in the right places.

I am sure we will see a few bottlings to mark the big day. Just wonder if there will actually be any of interest as far as the whisky in the bottle is concerned or if it will just be packaging they are selling.

Been told by a very reliable source it is limited to 2200 bottles
Last couple of the chapters 6&7 have been 2000 and have sold very well on the secondary market such as ebay!

This is the only William & Kate commemorative royal wedding whisky bottling i have come across so far, i thought there would have been a load of distillery bottlings by now. I guess they are still to come.

Macallan are doing one from 2 different casks one from each or their years of birth!
More details on this one when i get it!

And ofcourse you will have your bell's one

a 28 year old Macallan royal wedding limited edition, you may be close to the mark with your guess Kray. Just to be different i will say Â£450
