1937, a very fine year
I don't usually ask readers of this blog to buy me gifts, but this is a special situation. On April 4,2006, one of the four remaining bottles of the world's oldest whisky - Glenfiddich Rare Collection 1937 - will go to auction in New York.
"A single cask yielded only 61 unique bottles of this exquisite Scotch whisky.
U.S. Import laws required a special 750 mL bottle to be made; the item for auction is therefore the only 750 mL bottle of the Glenfiddich Rare Collection 1937 ever produced. The spirit came into being in 1937 when oak cask 843, hand-made by distillery coopers, was filled with liquid from stills at the Glenfiddich Distillery in Dufftown, Scotland, and laid down in a dunnage warehouse to mature. The spirit was slowly aged in cask for 64 years and bottled in 2001, resulting in a liquid of deep, robust character. With a rich walnut color, nose of toffee, cinnamon and cloves and sweet, cedar-y palette, this extraordinary Scotch whisky brims with complex yet subtle notes." Read more here.
I'm not one to beg, but if you'd like to do something nice for your tobacconist, then this is what I suggest. And the auction is for charity, so you'd be doing something good for someone else, too. I'll pour a glass for you. Hell, I'll even throw in a cigar.
