Used to have loads when I was young, don't know what happened to them. Wouldn't have made my fortune though!

If you're after making money invest in some decent whiskies, limited editions or special bottlings, feis Isle fillings are usually a pretty good bet. Having said that wasn't there something last year about a batch of 20p pieces being minted without dates & being worth quite a few bob ?

Opinion varies as to how much those coins are worth...

Mix-up at Royal Mint creates dateless 20p pieces worth 50 - Telegraph

My other half drives me mad searching through his change - he's still looking for one!

Your other investment suggestion is much better - but don't drink it all!

I had a couple of Spey Whisky special millennium blend in presentation boxes which were for the export market only, My son in law got them from clients and he doesn't drink whisky so he gave me one and my old man the other which came to be when he died, the boxed bottles would be worth quite a lot today but I said sod it and supped the contents and what a very nice drink it was too;)

What's the point of having a good malt whiskey and not supping it . I would have done the same.

Agreed, you can't take it with you and as long as jaysay kept the boxes he can still look at them and remember that lovely taste!

There isn't, that's why I try to get at least 3 bottles of a particular "Special". One to open & enjoy, the second to enjoy it again & introduce some of the peasantry I associate with to the pleasures & joys of a decent, not your standard run of the mill Whisky & the third to save for posterity & as an investment.

A little example, Feis Isle 2005 Bunnahabhain 12, Port finish - cask strength (766 bottles) GBP 55,00 at the time, seen on online Whisky sales/auction sites GBP 200,00 - 250,00 good investment to my mind. :)

Ya and believe me it was very very nice Frank, Spey is noted as being one of the very best Scotch Whiskies and I ain't arguing, I also had another one Ballantines 21 year old in a blue bottle and a velvet bag, I still have the bottle and the bag but sadly the whisky had to be used for pure medical purposes:rolleyes::D

One of the boxes is on my bed Gordon, I keep my current meds in it so I can access them easily and have a lovely taste in my mouth while doing it:D

Whisky is a good anaesthetic

.......and overloads the liver
.......and encourages overgrowth of candida albicans in the gut.

Everyone has their own poison of choice.:rolleyes:
