Morning All,

Popped into Glenfarclas yesterday and was surprised to see that they still had there 1988 vintage Visitors Centre Mini in stock. I say surprised because they are priced at £25 in the shop but have sold in the last couple of on-line actions I've seen for around £200! Indeed this is the current scotch whisky action listing here at £200 -

They will accept phone orders 9am to 5pm on 01807 500257 but think you would have to collect. Seems like a decent profit on a mini! I think it's limited to about 800 bottles.

Regards,

Rob

I was passing Glenfarclas on Monday as we were up at the Whisky Festival, I bought myself only one miniature.

After seeing the auction price maybe I should have bought 6 like the person behind me.

If anyone wants to offer me £200+ for mine, please get in touch Smile

I got 5 of them as it wasn't 1 per customer as seems normal with this sort of thing. I suspect the 1st few onto market are likely to be a bit of a spike price wise but suspect these will still be worth a fair bit more than I paid for them.

The sales lady said they had about 40 left when I asked yesterday.
