Sounds like a pretty amazing find, even for a person like me that doesn't drink!

Not much of a whiskey man myself either but Paradox must be drooling right now!

but Paradox must be drooling right now!

You mean more than usual ?

"It's a dark and brooding scotch with an oily nose and hints of lichen zest, vaguely reminiscent of finely aged musk ox sweat filtered over time through a shallow dome of bog peat..."

Hopefully they found some cheese and crackers up there, too.

My wife gave me a bottle of Glenlivet years ago that I nursed for a very long time. I just gave her a new request. I hope she makes it back without getting caught . . .

I never cared for Scotch in my younger daze, but now that I've matured...wait, scratch that, SWMBO might read this...now that I've "gotten older" I rather like it.

Evidently, it's the de rigueur spirit for ice climbers, and I didn't wanna break with tradition, so when a friend offered up part of his bottle of 14yr Oban, well....

Regardless of whether you're a dranker or not, I still think it's pretty cool that they could locate, and recover in good condition, something a hundred years old.

I expect that this is something you will brewed about.

Aw come on, where's your spirit!
