You'd enjoy the pride of our liquor cabinet - the 1970 single vintage bottling. We bought it for ourselves as a house-warming present ten years ago; we reckoned that about the only time we wouldn't notice the cost of that bottle was just after we'd committed to pay some $260,000 for a house. (Of course, ten years later, that looks like a bargain; house prices in the area have more than trebled since then). Apart from that, we've also got the regular 10-year-old Glenmorangie, the 18-year-old, and the Port, Sherry & Madeira cask aged varieties. We don't, at present, have the 15-year-old - I wasn't even aware of it's existence until I read the little leaflet that came with the latest bottle. (and around 20 other single malts, as well; over they years we've amassed quite a collection. Nowadays we don't buy more; we're just drinking our way through what we've got)
