Whisk(e)y Lovers thread(II)

After checking around my stash I noted that I still have two unopened bottles of Suntory Hibiki 12 year old whisky at 70cl each. The price has gone up from £32 I paid for each one to about 900 Euros these days on Ebay. Not bad. :)
 
Distell finally losing touch with reality :oops:

Just released 325 bottles of the Bain's 21 year old Pinotage Single Cask.

Head of blue sky drinking at Macallan, Pristine Campbell, said:

“The three-armed sculpture represents three facets of The Macallan. First of all there’s some serious ‘Zombie emerging from pond goo’ energy going on here, obviously this represents our mindless customers who swallow this gibberish. Then there’s that lovely sense of the futile grasping of shameless, desperation-scented investment obsessives – that’s clearly represented in the slightly more gnarled second arm. And last, but not least, there’s the a third arm because the bottle kept falling off and smashing when it was just two.”

She added…

“We did want to use fists to celebrate the long history of kink and fetish nights at Easter Elchies house and the thrill of going up to the elbow into a junior marketing executive as the moonlight bounces gently off the guttering of warehouse 12. But, alas, we had similar balancing issues with the bottle when using clenched fists. Although, I do look forward to flipping one of the extremely rare ‘prototype fisting plinths’ after I move to another company in a couple of years time.”

Amazing jokes aside, Macallan really must be the biggest money grab of the major brands.

I went to pick up the Macallan Rare Cask and it comes in the worst Pronutro box imaginable. Really cheap packaging for a 3k+ whisky.

Ok no idea why you'd grab one when Glendronach/Benriach 12 still exist but I actually liked the packaging on it? Weird.
