I am thirsty.

Holy mother of malt!! And here I am thinking $41 for a fifth of 10 yr Glenmorangie was expensive!

I know what you mean I was all excited because I found GlenFiddich and GlenLivet for $14.99 a piece at Smart and Final. I am not sure I would be allowed in the store that carries this bottle. Probably need a minimum credit score or something. Nice score regardless though!

Wow, I'd have to stock up since I can't touch a fifth of either of those for less than $40 here.

* Thread jack on*

Yeah I always cruise the warehouse stores hoping for something interesting or a great deal. Found these two 12 yrs on sale for 50% off regular price which was $30. There were two of each. I am happy to go back and check them for you if interested. Shoot me a pm if you are.

Make sure you don't drop it!

It's already added on the homeowners policy

Does that mean you can drink it, smash it and then claim it?

Those pesky burglars...drinking and smashing bottles...

Didn't think of that one lol. I have my entire collection insured so adding it really didn't affect the premium much.

Finally arrived here from Scotland yesterday and I am taking delivery Tuesday. What a process. Latest update I received is that over 15 of the 40 US bottles have been purchased by resorts and casinos so it's a pretty rare item by any measure.

I'm keeping it sealed in the case for now but jesus H is the outer casing heavy.

I was in my local the other night and was talking to a guy told me about a customer he had (the guy was an insurance agent)...I guess one of his customers bought a really expensive box of cigars (the agent didn't know what they were), and added them to his home owners policy (fire policy). A year or so later he filed a claim with insurance because they caught on fire (after lighting and smoking them all). They went to court and the judge ended up siding with the consumer because they technically did catch on fire and were not replaceable.

Then the insurance company had the guy arrested for arson (I think the agent said like 20 counts), and is now in jail for like 15 years...


Siglo-Man - That is a beautiful bottle. Wish I could see the inside of that box...

I call bullshit. No way that story is true.

I wonder if he knows this guy.

I agree, and AVB proved the point, now the question is if someone at the local actually came up with the story?

[Siglo-Man]

Made me smile to true or not the effect and message is the same. As soon as I take it out I'll be sure to take lots of pics

[2K6TBSS]

I didn't realize that was a fake story...But, after thinking about it, it makes sense. Although the logic works, I was having a hard time with it actually working like it did.

As for the agent, not sure if he made the story up, or was just passing it along...As I have not seen him in my local since then...

Thanks to all for helping me see the light!!!

Siglo-- Have fun with that , life is to short

Smoke your best cigars and drink the finest scotch you can afford

[srnadel]

A bit, but I would have bought other things for that kind of cash.

Why do I think AVB might just be a tad jealous; or, he's is heading you way for a taste?

Agreed. I hope it works out, but it's a risky investment.

Indeed, however, I doubt most people that buy something of this nature partake in a drink. They buy it for the history. I enjoy cognac very much and im in the process of getting a bottle that was vinted in 1818. I'd never think of drinking it, but to think that it was around when the US was only on its 5th president, and Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were still alive is pretty interesting.

[Siglo-Man]

Very true. I just acquired a few more mac bottles from 1940s and I always think if the worlds that bottle has been through when I hold it.
