I've tried tried JW Blue Label which is a horrific price and frankly I dont think it's worth the money. That's my opinion re'
"value," but price is a different matter.
I know that 'The Macallan' do commemorative stuff and if their day-to-day single malt is anything to go by, their special stuff should be
phenomenal. Macallan's stock brand is 12 or 15 yrs old matured in oak casks. I would say it's smoother than all but the finest cognacs and
Armagnacs. Macallan's "Fine and Rare" range features near 100 year old stuff, though many officianados think that above 25 years
doesn't improve the taste perceptibly.
Do some serious reading if you're going to part with big money. Mac' 12 year old is around £25 a bottle. If you haven't tried it,
treat yourself to a snorterino or twain. 'Still Life With Bottle' Whisky according to Ralph Steadman is a good starting point.

£1500  and its a blend??? how much do they charge for a single malt?
I saw a Macallan Fine and Rare 1926 in a whisky shop in London earlier this year for £35,000

how about this one for you then:
linky 
if you like the stuff you should go up to the 'whisky experience' on the royal mile (Edinburgh) its incredibly touristy, but they've
got a few £ worth in there:
but personally I prefer Vodka (or I should say Wódka, my new favourite:
palace)

I was going to go into the Whisky Experience with an American mate that was visiting... until we saw the entrance prices!!! Ridiculous!
We decided to go to the Glenkinchie Distillery instead. Not as 'wow' as the big fellas up the road, but still a very nice couple of hours
at reasonable money! They normally let you have two nips at the end of the tour... my mate got as many as he wanted and left hammered!
It's Evolution Baby!

I'm disappointed now. I read the title and thought you needed help to drink some 
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I know what you mean, but we got student discount and group discount
never been round the tour at Glenkinchie, but I do buy bottles in the gift shop - they are ~£5 cheaper than tesco/asda

A few years ago I was in a small pub up near Oban, in the bar they also had a whisky bar (seperate) so I tried a range of them going from bottom shelf
(the likes of Maccallan, glen fiddich etc) to top shelf (single Island malts oldest being 26 year old). The upshot of this was that the middle shelf
stuff was good and made my Maccallan taste bland, BUT, the top shelf one I tried was superb. The top shelf whisky was 26 year old Mortlach,
linky to Mortlach ,
from what I remember of it, it was a bit like a mixture of honey and velvet sliding down the throat with a beautiful warming sensation.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

I inherited 71 bottles of single malt, some very special stuff in that lot, then had to go on some drugs that preclude drinking more than a few beers
at the weekend damn it.
I eat to survive
I drink to forget
I breath to pi55 my ex wife off (and now my ex partner)

If you started on the bottom shelf, worked your way through that, then did the middle before turning your attention to the top-shelf, little wonder
you thought the best was the last! Hic !!
