I looks like maybe you didn't click on the link (generally a smart move). I should have proved more context, my bad. The link is to the announcement of the last global auction of the 55 Year Old Glenfiddich Janet Sheed Roberts Reserve. Widely acknowdledged as the most amazing Glenfiddich every. And knowing from this list you are a Glenfiddich man I thought it would be of specific interest. The highlights for those not wanting to clink the link: On December 11, 2012, Glenfiddich, the world's most awarded single malt Scotch whisky, will partner with The World Resources Institute (WRI), for the final global auction of the 55 Year Old Glenfiddich Janet Sheed Roberts Reserve. The last bottle will be the centerpiece of an exclusive event in Los Angeles with all proceeds benefitting WRI, a global environment and economic development think tank that goes beyond research to put ideas into action. In celebration of the distillery's milestone 125th anniversary year, Glenfiddich is conducting rare whisky auctions around the globe including the UK, India, Taiwan, Russia, Canada and China. This extraordinary 55 year-old whisky was created to commemorate the 110th birthday of the late Mrs. Janet Sheed Roberts, granddaughter of Glenfiddich founder William Grant. Only 11 bottles of this limited edition expression were bottled, one for every decade of her life, and fetched as high as $94,000 at auction, breaking the world record for the most expensive bottle of whisky ever sold at auction. "The warehouses of Glenfiddich have the most expensive stocks of rare whiskies available in the world and 55 Year Old Glenfiddich Janet Sheed Roberts Reserve is a beautiful example of an elegant vintage Glenfiddich," said Brian Kinsman, Glenfiddich Malt Master. "Mrs. Janet Roberts was 54 when the cask was filled on New Year's Eve 1955. Since then, it has spent the last 55 years maturing in the darkness of Warehouse 29. The whisky is a perfect harmony of fruit and floral aromas and has a surprising light touch of oak, incredible for a whisky that has spent so long in European wood. The rarity and quality of the liquid, the exquisite bespoke packaging and the story behind its creation makes this a collectible that is hard to value." .... -stu
