Graham 30YO in Mercure hotels

Graham's 30YO Tawny seems to have been on offer in Mercure hotels for some time. A 5cl glass comes at £4.95; a bottle at £65. This is a very small mark-up. Graham's / Fells have also provided the bars with branded ISO-type glasses, a good move which ensures that the product is served reasonably well. Unfortunately, because they want the bottle displayed prominently, it's kept on the counter rather than being chilled. Happily we got a new bottle opened from the cellar, which was a good deal cooler.

Very good value; Tesco offer it currently at £70/bottle. I had a bottle recently, extremely tasty (though I think the 20yo is better VFM, even if the 30yo is superior).
