What will be the Queen's Diamond Jubilee whisky of choice

[IrishWhiskeyChaser]

Last year we saw a highly successful visit by HRH the Queen of England and more.

This year it's her Diamond Jubilee so I would expect a multitude of different commemorative bottlings doing the rounds.

I'm sure one or 2 may have been released already but I noticed this one by Glen Grant.

Glen Grant 60 Years old Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee (1952-2012)

Maybe the society can organising a special tasting to include the above ... pretty please

Would something on the third anniversary of Michael D's inauguration do you instead?

There is a JW for the jibliee that is priced at £100,000

Okay that's 2 bottles for the Royal Diamond Jubilee Tasting


Now we're getting places

Martin Armstrong also has one, at the other end of the scale. A Royal Lochnagar.

Maybe Bushmills could be given a royal warrant and become Royal Bushmills. One can only wonder what impact that would have!

[JohnM]

The town is festooned with Union Flags. It was the last time I passed by anyway. I'm sure it would be most welcome.

[IainB]

True but I would imagine most Bushmills drinkers don't actually live in the town. I could be wrong and they could be one very very drunk bunch of people.

I would say, depending in witch part you pass through.

I remember a topic in the IWS forum (cant find it at the moment), i am sure there was a local barman involved. Would be interesting to hear what he sell`s most.

yeah, my impression during visits to the town has always been a very weird contrast between the overwhelmingly unionist gable ends/murals/flags everywhere and then the touristy irishry that i'm sure Diageo has the poor tour guides in the distillery spout. A queens jubilee whiskey might a least give the place some thematic unity?
