Actually, how about something like Glenfiddich 15 Year Old Distillery Edition (70cl, 51.0%) or Glenfiddich Malt Master's Edition - Sherry Cask Finish 70cl, 43% or both together would come to about 80 pounds total. Not bad at all.
Very Happy

You could try Glenfarclas 21, just over the Â£70 or get the Glenfarclas 15 pack with 21 and 25 mini bottles for around Â£55..

How about a single cask Glendronach;

I'm between either a Nikka from the Barrel or a Benromach 10 100* Proof, they are both 35-45 mind...

I've got a bottle of anCnoc 22yo coming from Santa. 46%, not chill filtered, natural colour, 2nd sherry maturation, beautiful old whisky. Think its about Â£80 online.

Here's a good combo (IMO) glenfarclas 105 and a Glendronach 8. Or if you just want one bottle I'd suggest a Springbank 18. Full of Christmas flavour, although real hard to get, which is why I bought a Cambletown Loch 21 which has a minimum of 60% Springbank single malt in it - but is a blend. Oh it was on offer at the whisky shop recently.

I wonder how long the family cask will be reduced for ?

Have you tried the Balvenie 17 year old Doublewood, an outstanding whisky.

The Macallan Sienna is excellent.
