Mar 7, 2011: Antarctic booze

I recall a story from a colleague about a crusty old Wing Cdr who, whenever a social event was on, and he was mine host, how he'd walk around and ask, "and what will you have with your Scotch?".

If the answer came back, "Diet Coke" .. "Dry Ginger Ale" .. "Coke" .. or some other pollutant .. the Wing Cdr would ensure that the recipient received a run-of-the-mill, low-grade Scotch, about on a par with cooking Sherry.

If the recipient stated, "just water", or "just a little ice" .. the recipient received some of the finest single malt in the house ..

I wonder who the lucky individual will be, that gets to taste some of that over-100-yr-old Scotch?

The crates alone would be worth the equivalent of a couple of bottles of the finest single malt, at todays values.
