A man bought his 5 year old daughter and 4 year old son to meet Santa in the park. Afterwards the man asked his daughter if she enjoyed seeing Santa and she said no because that wasn't him. Why do you think that he asked? Well she said I could see he had another set of clothes under his suit and when I asked him where his sleigh was all he said was hohoho. And so begins the Santa chronicles #4. It's not often you get to try whiskies which are 50+ years old and it's even rarer that Santa delivers them. Well in the age of outsourcing and the reindeer being made redundant it was actually FedEx who did the job but who really cares as Santa aka @PBMichiganWolverine does actually exist in real life boys and girls and even better he has a crazy great stash of top shelf stuff this being one of them. Oak, liquorice, molasses and more. It positively oozes age. The man would love know which distilleries comprised this and the man suddenly thinks about Game of Thrones where the faceless man also refers to himself as the man and thinks great series but man that ending sucked. Anyhow thanks once again PBM!

@PBMichiganWolverine Yeah I hate when they undermine a great series with a terrible ending..it seems such a waste of effort like a sports team who claws their way to a final and then falls apart on the day!
@PBMichiganWolverine Yes I think personally the 35 year was a step up again but still great dram! I managed to get hold of some Rosebank and Glen Esk recently so looking fwd to continuing my historical whisky trail :-)
And to make things worse (GoT related, after that dismal season 8), HBO won’t move forward with the GoT precursor
@Soba45 I think the grain component was high in this...but personally, was just happy to taste something a decade older than me
@Slainte-Mhath Santa ships anywhere—-he’s just asking the recipient to pay for the shipping (and vials). ☺️
@Slainte-Mhath He has inspired a global whiskey shipping program as @cascode and I are now planning our trading shipments :-).
@PBMichiganWolverine Does Santa ship to Norway? We even have the official Santa post office at Longyearbyen! :D
