Glenfiddich 50 Year Old Scotch Whisky 700mL | Dan Murphy's | Buy Wine, Champagne, Beer & Spirits Online

I'm not a scotch drinker, but i once bought an old boss of mine a bottle of Glenlivet for a Christmas present . Paid good money for it. In the new year he was peed off with me and told me I was a cheap skate. He said he pulled out the said bottle of scotch and offered a drink to some of his Christmas guests. He said he was embarrassed to serve it. So don't know if he got my Christmas pressy mixed up with some other employee's gift or what, but I was pretty peeved off at his comments. Maybe he needed to to mix it with coke.

I'll have a dozen if your shouting

I had a drop of 100+ year old Rum in Canada for a "Splice the Main Brace" for the Candian Navy's 75th birhtday while on HMAS Hobart. It was from a bond store lost in time if my faded memory and brain cells are working today. I almost choked! I was 17 at the time. The older crew said it was wonderfull stuff!!



My nice Next door wine shop has some very old French Cognac, whisky, scotch and wine that would kick DMs butt Buy Wine Online - Australian Boutique & Rare Wines DM accross the car park has the cheap mass producted stuff.

I love a wine, and love a scotch, double black is one of my favourites at $50 per bottle. Sorry, gotta say though, anyone paying $44k for a bottle of scotch has rocks in their head....the world is just a little bit ****ed up in that case.

Glenlivet is definately a nice Scotch. Your old boss must have something wrong with him!

Glenfidich is blah... Its ok if you just want to down a bottle...

Glenlivit is far better, but the funniest thing, its also cheaper...

Malt whiskey is the better drop, then look at barrel origin... Some use Oak thats had other things in it prior... Age means nothing now, some of the older whiskeys dont taste as good as the younger stuff...

Me, personally, I prefer Irish whiskey over Scottish but even some of the Irish whiskey is not worth opening...

Bushmills Malt, Black bush is a cheap, smooth drinking whiskey.. Last time I opened a bottle, I left an inch in the bottom for the following nights dinner, it didnt make it, lunch time it kind of vanished down with lunch... Now that stuff makes a fine drinking whiskey...
Oh I wish I could still knock back a bottle of that stuff...


If you have to mix coke in a whiskey to drink it, go back to your bourbons, leave the real whiskey to the rest of us...

barrel origin.....might surprise you to learn that Jack Daniels only use their barrels once....they are then onsold to scotch whisky distilleries to mature their whisky in whiskey barrels.
