Highland Scam 23 Year Old Cask Strength
Lot number: 271271
Winning bid: £55
This is the inaugural bottling by Paul Smith of Dream Drams, although this was bottled by MWBH Bottling Co. Ltd. The MWBH stands for Malt Whisky Buyers Helpline.
This is a 23 year old Tomatin, 55.2% ABV / 70cl and is one of 198 bottles.
The rear label says: The bottling is a special commemorative bottling to record the great whisky swindle of the 1990s.
Your bottle is just one of 198 bottles from a single hogshead of malt distilled in 1976.
The cask was sold as an investment by the Napier Spirit Company, which offered barrels of malt whisky as an investment. The company was closed in the public interest in the High Court in February 1997.
Enjoy it for its own sake or keep it as a memento of the scan that lost investors and credit card companies millions of pounds.
