(75,852 posts)I had a 30 year aged Glenmorangie once. Was like drinking velvet! Made Johnny Walker Blue seem like kerosene.
Over 30 years ago. It was $35 or $40 a shot then.
Bottles of it are a few thousand dollars today.
Incredible, but ridiculous in price.

(32,291 posts)Well-worth the $55.00 price---particularly given the time a bottle lasts my wife and I. Got the brand's pronunciation correct ("Glen-MOHR-an-ghee"
years ago, courtesy of a helpful on-line site featuring a noted British actor, enunciating scotch brand names.

(75,852 posts)I'm good with Glenlivet, too. Less so with Glenfiddich.
I don't care for lowland scotches. Too peaty for me.
I have a bottle of Glenmorangie on my piano. It's about half-full and is at least 7 & 1/2 years old.
So, I get what you mean about lasting a long time.

(32,291 posts)...that scotch brand pronunciation video was done by noted English actor Brian Cox ("The Bourne Identity"
. Still available online, and still very worthwhile. Hey, even those of us with a significant Scots heritage and a long-time appreciation for their whiskey need help, particularly when it's so well-presented...

(22,727 posts)When we cleaned out closets in my grandmother's house in the 1970s, I found a stash of whisky that had been put away since the 1950s. She let me have them, even though I didn't drink much hard liquor back then. I saved it, and when she died, I drank the whole bottle while I wrote her obituary. Most booze ever, before and since.
