Lombard - Jewels of Scotland series

Sounds like the time for research has passed if the bottle is in your possession. I know I can relate to purchasing a bottle on impulse, then getting home later and thinking "what the hell just happened!?" The only thing to do it pull the trigger: crack that baby open, and if you like it, it's good! Don't worry about how others reviewed it. Too late for that.

Sorry - the iPhone and my scrolling finger...as valuewhisky said: crack it open and find out! Generally speaking it's always entertaining and often very educating to read other peoples reviews but if you really want to develop your taste you have to judge for yourself.

Generally, have not heard bad things about sherried Bunnahabhains of that vintage, the opposite in fact! I bet it will be quite fantastic. Enjoy!

Thanks very much. I am somewhat OCD with my hobbies (beer for example), and tend to be a bit of a hoarder as opposed to a drinker sometimes. I am trying to get over that, but for me, when I have a single, irreplaceable bottle of something, I have a hard time forcing myself to drink it. What am I holding on to it for? Who knows. For now, I guess I am just curious about what I have.

@Onibubba: most of us can relate to having a difficult time opening some "special" bottles. You just have to let logic win (because obviously, saving it doesn't do anything positive for you, and drinking it later won't be any more enjoyable than drinking it now). One thing you can do to help is to pour off a couple of miniature bottles, then you can keep those around for however long you like, knowing you can sample it again sometime in the future. Honestly, I prefer purchasing standard-issue bottlings over special editions because I like to know I can buy it again in the future if I want to. That helps too.
