Whisk(e)y Lovers thread(II)

Adding to this list of gargantuan things, a new Guinness Book of World Records has been set for the largest bottle of whisky ever sold. The name – The Intrepid. The colossal bottle is nearly 6 ft tall (5’11), holding 311 liters (414.6 of 750mls), and width twice that of the average person.

And you know what they say – it’s what’s on the inside that counts. In this case, it’s 32 year old Macallan, so a WHOLE BUNCH of the good stuff.

In the end, Intrepid sold for $1.4M via Lyon and Turnbull Auction House. Not too shab.

Does anybody know where I can get hold of a bottle of the Aberlour 16?

Seems like hen's teeth at the moment.

Did you manage to get? I see NGF have stock and doesn't seem like a bad price https://www.ngf.co.za/collections/aberlour-whisky/products/aberlour-16yr-double-cask-750ml

Proper scammers
They stick their own barcode over as well

What has happened with this?

Could have picked up one yesterday (750ml), but settled for a sample instead

Yeah I'm quite surprised to see how readily available these are in SA ATM...and I've seen nothing yet here in Europe.

Turns out there are these guys on an island that have plenty of them. They're throwing a party in the next few days but started moving stock in the meantime to avoid excessive queues.

What has happened with this?

Refund was processed but a lot of back and forth trying to get ACA liquors properly checked but don’t think will happen
