I tried a sample when I bought it in the mid 90's (impulse buy at the airport), very nice it was too, I never got round to opening it and when talking to a whisky bore in 2012 I found out it was then worth £800
I checked again this year and £2,500 
so I think I'll keep it until I really need the money or the bottom falls out of the market and drink it bubbles always burst so I'll probably drink it sometime soon 
I guess you need to either sell it and buy something (several things) more ‘regular’ or drink it. Whatever you do, don’t die whilst still in possession it will only get drunk at your wake by the relation/friend you detest the most.I tried a sample when I bought it in the mid 90's (impulse buy at the airport), very nice it was too, I never got round to opening it and when talking to a whisky bore in 2012 I found out it was then worth £800
If it were mine, I’d open it on a significant birthday and invite @Expat Jack and yourself around

So, I have got a cunning plan. we buy one bottle of £800 whiskey, divide it into 12 shots to give away at an airport. Then fill 12 bottles of any old piss and put a nice label on it to sell for £800 each to the people that tried the shots...this time next year Rodney....edit: I would do exactly the same, I’ve got a bottle of wine somewhere had since my 20’s I Promised myself I would drink sometime special....30th? No, 40th still no. Prolly fkin vinegar now anyway!?!?
I got done last year - we had a friend do some work in the garden for us and wouldn’t take any payment. We agree that at the poppy appeal evening I would buy the bottle of wine at the auction, somebody had been left it and donated it to the poppy appeal. Cost me £170 still in the cabinet, but may have had a result as seem to be going up in value now.
You'll be fine, you've not quite arsed 3 full bottles, theres a dram left in the Glenlivet
save that for a hair of the dog and no worries

TBH , when I start I don't so much "dent" as "complete write off".Feeling your pain. Bloody COVID. If it weren’t so weird jyst now you could have come round here, talked shit with me whilst we dented my supply. Hey ho, will just have to do it on my own
Cask strength, best go easy with that -oops too late
£170 for a bottle and cabinet seems reasonable
When you can't afford a new bottle, bring out the reserves....
It ought to be at 57%...
