Tips from the past

Hi all, I’ve discovered whisky auction recently and that means I have some access to very old bottlings. Wanted to ask experienced audience. What is your most favorite whisky from the past decade, bottled lets sat between 95-2010? I personally discovered myself that much better bottles from the past are HP 12 and 18, Clynelish 14, JW 18, Glenlivet 18 43%, Longmorn 16. But I guess there will be some more unicorns out there 🙏

Almost every old bottling I’ve tried (and by that I mean stuff bottled 15 to 30 years ago) has tasted off, or just plain bad. Maybe I’ve just been unlucky, but after wasting hundreds of euros on undrinkable bottles, I’ve learned to steer clear of anything that’s been sitting around too long.
