SPECULATOR'S CHOICE !!!
Well, OK folks I'm NOT joining the indignant Anoraks at what appears to be
an excessive price tag for what's on offer here. Diageo can charge what they like,
good luck to them,
that's business,
like it .... or lump it.
Choice is ours !
Why should malty-speculators cream off on e-bay ?
If the casks are that good, why shouldn't the rewards go to the owners ?
Brand Exclusivity should mean just that .... £££
Good luck Diageo.
Boo hiss! If they pull this off then all whisky will be more expensive in the future. This is a dangerous precedent.
