An interesting link, thanks Haz.

To be honest I thought it would be worth a lot more than that, seeing how I saw this bottle for sale at Manchester Airport in July this year:

I wonder if its a highland or a peaty dram

[youngmafbog]

There are 40 of them Giz so that means not so unique so price lowers.

I prefer a nice peaty one but I wouldnt turn down a drop of whatever this is.🥂

I hate peaty scotch.

says this one has medicinal characteristics with no peaty smoke.

Tannister from Skye put paid to my taste of Scotch. Irish is my preferred water of life.

I bet the collection is worth more than the castle it was found in.

the article says it's been rebottled - i wonder why? it was my understanding that whisky can 'age' after it's been bottled, so if you keep a bottle of 10 yo malt for 20 years, it doesnt become 30 yo malt?

[bednobs]

for can read can't!

[bednobs]

if there's 40 bottles at 10 k each, i dont think that's more than a castle's worth?

[Redhelen72]

Do you mean Talisker?

[Redhelen72]

no its the age when its in the barrel so if it was put in the barrel in 1900 and bottled in 1910 and not sold till 1990 its still a 10 year old except its from 1900

[Khandro]

It has medicinal characteristics with no peaty smoke.

 

In other words, good for cleaning paint brushes.

ha kahndro i did think for "‘It is very much a distillate driven malt whisky, with minimal wood influence" and "It possesses clear textural weight in the mouth, along with a flavour profile that strongly involves medicinal characteristics without any notable or pronounced peat smoke" read "vile"
