Rare Snow Phoenix Whiskey

A one-off from Glenfiddich. This was created with whisky that was blended from casks that lay in warehouses which collapsed under snow in 2010. These casks included bourbon and Oloroso, and they range from 13 and 30 years of age. Superb packaging too! This bottle is part of a private collection - see photos for more details regarding the outer tin. NOTE. Scratches on the bottom. Back in 2011, a special $80 bottle of whisky was released, and now it's so popular that people have paid up to $2,400 for it at auction! Reputable collectors' sites like The Rare Whisky Shop, Master of Malt and Whiskey Buzz list for $1299.00 USD plus taxes and shipping. This bottle, called Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix, has a unique story behind it. In 2010, a big snowstorm caused a warehouse roof to collapse. The Snow Phoenix is a mix of different whiskies, some aged between thirteen and thirty years, but it doesn't have an official age label. It was made by picking the best barrels from the snowy warehouse. Glenfiddich and its sister distillery, The Balvenie, are known for creating special whiskies that get people talking. A total of only 12,000 bottles will be in circulation. Brian Kinsman, the master blender, didn't have a lot of barrels to choose from. This scotch doesn't have an official age, but it includes whisky aged from 13 to 30 years. Snow Phoenix became popular among whisky fans because it was a special edition with a cool story behind it.
