Absolutely phenomenal. Great mix of a Sherry bomb, smoke, and barbecued meats. Reminds me of some old Islay Sherry cask whiskies I’ve tried.

@PBMichiganWolverine That's amazing. I'm glad that guy returned it.
@PBMichiganWolverine Wow! What a story and shame! Let me know when you list your next house for sale. After I buy it, I’ll be bringing a sledgehammer knocking down walls in search of Brora, screaming at my wife “I know it’s here somewhere!!!” If I find it though I’ll be sure to save you a few pours.
@ContemplativeFox my previous house was much smaller than what we have now. So I stored my bottles in any nook I found. I stored a 1964 17 yr St Magdalene in a box that had old baby clothes. My wife one day donated it to a thrift store. Fortunately the guy called us back and asked if we meant to include an old whiskey bottle with toddler clothes. "
@worldwhiskies95 Yeah you’re right . first one...the one that came with a little tasting sample. Not this one
@PBMichiganWolverine Wow, great story, but what an asshole. I feel like you might have a lot more stories about unintentionally sharing premium whisky after that and Tobias and the Angel.
@PBMichiganWolverine Not this one, the first release of the 10 year old. This is the 10 year Peated Sherry cask.
@ContemplativeFox so...I had a bottle of this, and the little 6cl sample version it came with, from years back. I moved houses after, and actually forgot the bottle in my old house, with the buyer. I wrote him an email asking if he ever found it. He sent me a picture of the empty bottle , writing back in the emaIl “ yes, I found it buried behind the basement behind the extra paint cans. This was delicious...thank you for the unintended house warming gift “ .
I'm eternally jealous of your amazing finds.
