| It certainly looks like it is an older version of this. I think it may take them a while to sell 1000 bottles at £2500 but i am sure they have done their homework at Glenmo and think there is a market out there for this whisky with this price tag. |

It also seems the bigger the price, the bigger the tasting note  |

yeh a little over the top 
when you think about it you dont see many older Glenmorangies so they may well sell this one without any trouble. I think they must be quite confident they can sell it to put this price tag on it. |

If the Glenmorangie Nectar Dor with the Sauternes cask finish is anything to go by i am sure this will be very good but way out of my price range  |
