FQdP 91. Or is it FG91. Is FG the same as FQdP?

No. Is that another Symington Ruby brand?

Clues pah! Clues are for wimps.

Edit: that is a ‟no”.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 22:56 Wed 16 Oct 2013

I thought 91 was the part of the guess that was 'close'! And I remember RAYC mentioning the Guimaraens 91. Huh. Sulking now.

Tesco 94?

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 22:57 Wed 16 Oct 2013

And anyway, is FG the same as FQdP?

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 22:57 Wed 16 Oct 2013

STTD 03

Post by **jdaw1** » 22:57 Wed 16 Oct 2013

Not a ’91. Nor a ’94, nor an ’03.

No to that as well.

And it has been mentioned on this forum within the last month or so, in a comment directed at a regular player of this game.

And no to both previous.

You know it takes me ages to work out the shorthand.

90 Malvedos (GQdM)

Post by **jdaw1** » 23:01 Wed 16 Oct 2013

Bought a dozen of them at Christie’s in about 2008. Not drunk one recently.

Trim ‟the last month or so” down to ‟the last three weeks”.

djewesbury wrote:A discontinued label then?

No.

FG = Fonseca Guimaraens, the second label of Fonseca which is produced in most years when the classic vintage is not declared. According to Messrs Bridge and Guimaraens the constituent parts of the blends of of F and FG are the same so the difference is quality.

FQdP = a single quinta vintage port.

....Martinez? 94...?

Post by **jdaw1** » 23:03 Wed 16 Oct 2013

The clue ‘animal skin’ would be fair, but might mislead. So would be an excellent clue.

But where is Daniel and his animal skin?

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 23:23 Wed 16 Oct 2013

I was emailing the Port Society to order a dozen of what you just drank.

Post by **DRT** » 23:23 Wed 16 Oct 2013

Perhaps another ruse? Make us think he knows then go to bed. Or his Mrs has told him to stop playing with his friends.

Finest Unfiltered Reserve - a Quevedo wine, bottled for The Port Society. Good to drink now, but bottled with a driven cork so it can also be laid down.

- A mere £72 for 6 (£12/btl)

Daniel’s question.

(And it is fine juice. Young, but fine.)

I could do the really boring question but it might be utterly tedious and infuriating.

Is it my question?

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 23:29 Wed 16 Oct 2013

Inspired by this to press ahead with this futile question, I now ask: what is the number of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society bottling that I am now drinking?

Post by **DRT** » 23:33 Wed 16 Oct 2013

2'345?

Don't say I didn't warn you. No. This is not a valid number. I will give clues. They will be usable. But I will wait for at least one decent guess before I do.

Post by **DRT** » 23:43 Wed 16 Oct 2013

OK. I put an apostrophe in because you pointed to the thread. But from what I know SMWS numbers are in the format n.nnn (or nn.nnnn if enough variants have been purchased).

Let's start at the beginning and work our way to the answer by the time we die...

1.001?
