Glenfiddich Explorers

Follow up to Auction of 50 Year Old

By Ian

I attended a very special event on Monday this week, 21st december where Billy Cypress, winning bidder in the recent auction of a 50 year old Glenfiddich, ( $38,000 ), opened the said bottle and shared it with his best clients, and of course little old me.

My job was to present the whisky and explain a little about how it was put together, the taste, aromas and type of oak used in the maturation of this great whisky, so I flew out to Miami from Scotland to do just that, had an interesting altercation with Air France on the way out but least said the better.

The taste of this liquid is exceptional and of course everyone enjoyed the whole occasion.

Also in the audience was Ronnie Cohen, another whisky collector, like Billy, Ronnie doesn`t just collect whisky, he enjoys it as well, two great appreciators of fine whisky in the same room and both at my table, wonderful.

Have a great christmas everyone and a happy new new year, I`ve probably just had my first present, two drams of fifty, slainthe!!!
