Any scotch over 30 years old taste poor, IMO.

Mmm, chocolate and treacle, my favorite.
I've given up scotch for Lent anyway, so this means nothing to me.

Previous bottles sold direct by the family-owned Glenfiddich Distillery fetched 10,000 pounds (14,500 euros, 19,000 dollars) each, but the price levied by the airport is expected to be higher still.A $19,000 bottle of whiskey. I think I've found what it means to have too much money.

Chocolate and treacle? Hmm...a shot of that stuff ought to taste right nice in a Pepsi with plenty of ice...
To: Dan from Michigan
Just 61 bottles, described as having "chocolate and treacle" flavours, were produced from the single cask and first released in 2001. A tear rose to my jaded eye - until I read the chocolate and treacle part.:)

... described as having "chocolate and treacle" flavours .... Well, you can have your chocolate and treacle. I prefer scotch.

A guy who works for a distillery over there told me that after 15 years it dos not do anything more for the stuff.
That I dont know about but what I do know is some of that stuff is vile tasting. Then some of the better stuff is as smooth as can be.

I have a bottle of Royal Salute, purchased in 1981.
I realize that aging in the bottle doesn't count, but....
21 + 24 means that the scotch is 45 years old.
Had to buy a bottle of 18 yr. old Chivas to keep me out of the Royal Salute.

Hong Kong's Chep Lap Kok Airport, I wonder who the brain was that picked that name for the airport.

Named after a catfish?
Chek Lap Kok island is located north of Lantau Island off Ma Wan Chung and got its name from the fact that the red perch (³à÷v fish with whiskers) was once abundant in its vicinity.

Let me know when you crack the 45 yo bottle; I'll need to taste it for posterity's sake.

One mile from here in McNairy County, Tennessee, a whiskey is aged if its older than thirty minutes.
