6 x 1997 Quinta do Noval Nacional VP
I don't plan on keeping all of them. Once I have them in possession I plan on offering up three or four for sale to other FTLOPers, and if they aren't sold that way, back to auction.

Quite an expensive week just past - several interesting items secured; but the most interesting, which I've never seen offered before, were three bottles of Sandeman '73 - quite a rarity..!

I don't think they made a 1973 so presumably you are being cruel and are going to tell us all you now have 3 bottles of Sandeman 1873? [shok.gif]

I'm very sad to hear that the global recession is hitting you so hard [dance2.gif] [dance2.gif] :lol:

PS: On the basis that no one "needs" to own 3 bottles of Sandeman 1873 does that mean you have some "surplus stock"? :roll:

Quite a mix of things..the 1962 Sandeman sounds interesting. Not many of any '62s out there still.
