William, this special 25 year sounds like an impressive dram. I had a sample mini-bottle of Glenfiddich 30 Year and it was really superb.

Hi all,

Been offered a bottle of this for £800. It's a hard one to get hold of with apparently only 16 for the UK market. Thoughts, a decent buy for my collection or a bit overpriced?

Regards,

Rob

Rob, it's a rare expression no doubt. I think it's a good investment particularly if you're willing to hold on to it for some years.
Very Happy

Glenfiddich will always be one of the top iconic collectable whisky brands and any limited release like this will be considered collectable. I would think if you stick this one in your cupboard for a few years you will double your money.

Thanks for responses, I'm struggling to justify the price to myself so think I'll give it a miss. If anyone on the forum is interested in one for £800 PM me and I'll give you details of my contact.

Regards,

Rob

Sounds a fair price considering the release price. Way too much for me to even consider. IMO the release price was way too high.

Sorry to quote myself but the bottle now has a new home (unfortunately not me!) so no more PM's regarding this please.

Regards,

Rob
