Thankyou (x2)

Vintages: we are looking for 1830, ’34, ’37, ’40, ’42, ’44, ’47, ’51, ’53, ’58, ’61, ’63, ’66, ’68, ’70, ’72, ’73, ’74, ’75, ’78, ’81, ’84, ’85, ’87, ’88, ’90, ’92, ’94, ’96, ’97, 1900, ’02, ’04, ’08, ’10, ’12, ’19, ’20, ’22, ’23, ’24, ’25, ’27, ’29, ’31, ’33, ’35, ’42, ’50, ’54, ’55, ’60, ’62, ’63, ’66, ’67, ’70, ’72, ’75, ’77, ’80, ’82, ’83, ’85, ’87, ’89, ’94, ’95, ’97, ’99, 2000, ’03, ’07, and ’11.

If seventy-four would be too many magnums, maybe we could omit a few of the youngsters? Or, for a few, have measly-portion single bottles?

Hi,

If still possible I would like to attend too.

Please let me know.

Regards
Wolfgang

Yes please.

I would have brought the 1830 but I drank it last night whilst watching the Eurovision pre-event show. Instead I'll offer the 1963. Or (underlined for JDAW's attention) I could offer a 2000 if we want to go that young.

All vintages prior to 1910

Slow off the blocks - please add me to the waiting list.

uncle tom wrote: ↑10:47 Mon 14 May 20181945 (missing from your list..)

My list included all the ‘✔’s, but not the ‘≈’s. The Book has 1945 as “≈ Produced, perhaps not sold”.

List added to first post.

Please put me on the waiting list. Jorgen B

I have some 1962 in perfect condition

as well as the missing 1966 and 1983, 1985, 1997 and 2011

(and in addition 1970, 1977, 1982,1987, 1994, 2000)

Thanks

Please put Sten (SAI) on the reserve list.

Done.

JB’s vintages not yet added to the list. Will be done once he has a place.

as well as the missing 1966 and 1983, 1985..

These I have - the list was of the missing ones..

Sorry Tom, I don’t understand. Your posted a list of vintages you have — a list not including 1966. and you now have 1966? Fine: I’ll assume a recent purchase. Please confirm my interpretation.

My interpretation of Tom's post was that he was detailing the ones he was missing (including those he has but are otherwise earmarked or with concerns over condition) . Thus he has the likes of 66, 60, 55 etc

As a matter of interest I have 63, 70, 72. and 77.

Sten (SAI) has the following Offley's: 1962, 1963, 1966, 1983 och 1997

My interpretation of Tom's post was that he was detailing the ones he was missing

Correct - I have all the others

For reference: I only have 50, 54, 60, 62, 63 and a lot of recent vintages.
