This bottle is currently the record holder in my cellar for the longest owned unopened bottle. It was purchased from Berry Brothers on 10th April 1996 for the sum of £46.00

Sandeman 1963, bottled by Grants of St. James. Deep brick red, a lovely dark tone; 60% opaque. Intense redcurrant reduction on the nose. Delicious! Such a lovely palate, full of berries and cocktail cherries. Really lovely cocktail cherry finish, although a little sticky. 91/100. Tasted 23-Jul-2024.
