Thread: Scotch/whiskey of the day

As I was typing that post my wife walked by and read it. Don't know why it never occurred to me to just Google it! So I did. Seems it was Ambassador 50 year old. Wish i could remember what I'd paid for it in '77 but I can't find any historical info like that. But you're correct in that many many 15-25 year old scotches are outstanding.

I was in Chicago 3 years ago staying in a hotel on the Gold Coast and late one night got bored and walked down to the bar for a snort. After a chat with the bartender I decided to try out their oldest and best scotch. It went for about $100 or so a shot but really wasn't worth the price to me - I thought The Balvenie 12 year old was just as good!

Seeing that empty bottle of Master Distillers Reserve from Bushmills on the floor would have make me sick! I feel your pain man!
