Douglas of Drumlanrig

This is the very definition of a first world problem. The other week, on the recommendation of my favourite whisky shop owner, I bought a bottle of particularly spectacular whisky:

A 21-year-old Miltonduff from Douglas of Drumlanrig.

In fact, it turns out to be the best whisky I’ve ever tasted. It’s moderately smoky but with a subtle caramel-like sweetness, and it’s simply beautiful. At 46% ABV, it’s no lightweight, but an ice cube (filtered water only, please) or two sets it right.

But there’s a problem: on closer examination of the box and bottle, it turns out that it is, this year, one of only 421 bottles produced.

tl;dr: Find best whisky ever. Discover it’s one of only 421 bottles. #firstworldproblems

    Don’t tell everyone! How are we going to get hold of the other 420 bottles and hoard them compulsively if you tell everybody how good it is?

      Damn! Too late now, it’s out there on people’s RSS readers and Twitter feeds and Google+… thingies. We’ll just have to buy them quickly!

      Fast reply, by the way! Have a cookie!

    It is safe from me, whisky tastes like ass, or at least the ones I have tried do!
