And the winter storm is bloomin’ expensive now. Didn’t know they were on batch 3, how much does that go for?
Auction price is £175 masterofmalt et al £200, I paid £100.
Didn’t get it as an investment, more it was bloody tasty when I had some at my friends who writes for whisky magazine. Since then because the box is so pretty it has been an exercise in patience of not opening it.

I’d just drink it.
I have a bottle of Bunnahabhain PX cask which was a very limited edition. Bought by my brother in law as a birthday present, and shared half of it with him! 
It’s now selling for around £300 last time I looked but would rather have the enjoyment of the whisky and good times with people to share it with!

Think I would do the same Rob. My Uncle died a few weeks ago. He was a big whisky lover, and I’m sure there were a few nice bottles stored away, which unfortunately he won’t get to enjoy now…

I bought a bottle of Supernova when it came out. It was a treat to celebrate something. I forget what, but I remember I enjoyed the bottle!
Actually I cracked it open on a whim when I got home hammered and had the place to myself. Took one sip, passed out, spilled it all over the couch. When I woke up I thought there had been a fire…room smelled like a bonfire!
I think it was about 60 quid when it came out and I’m pretty sure it was this one

That looks lovely. I used to have a particular weakness for the Glenmorangie…
My retirement stash, target is sixty bottles, got a growing Port stash as well.

Well intended advice, do not have too many bottles open simultaniously, if the consumption per bottle is not swiftly enough. The oxidation process accellerates as the level goes down, at a certain moment, the whisky is off. Learned the hard way with too many open bottles and moderate consumption.
There’s your problem.

I once drank a very old bottle of Drambuie and thought it was amazing, it was the first time I’d tried it. A really thick liquid.
Bought a new one after that and it was not thick at all and nowhere near as nice!
I know this is not what whisky drinkers have but anyway…
I particularly liked Cellar 13 from a while ago 
Safety first. I had some 25+ bottles open and regularly visited whisky festivals on top of that. I blame my friends not drinking enough when they visited me, while their wifes/girlfriends could drive them home.

If you had, say, £40 to spend on a bottle, and wanted it to be a little bit special, something that punches above its price, what would you go for?
Processes have changed, mostly on purpose, and that has an impact on the taste.
And a longer time ago, there were more malts used in blends than now. Two possible reasons for the differences you noticed.
10 litres of Diamond White

I think Clynelish is a brilliant expression in the standard 14yo:
Or the Laphroaig Quarter Cask:
Or the Balvenie Double Wood 12yo:
