So, two guys at work are retiring. As a member of the local union, I took upon myself to get them retirement presents. After checking with their closer work mates, I confirmed that Scotch might be a good choice.
Today I bought one bottle of 10yo Springbank Port Single Cask and one bottle of 13yo Springbank Madeira Single Cask. I am now facing the terrible prospect of having to give them away, with the most likely outcome of me not getting to even sniff them. Thus, the angst. These are two whiskies I would love to own, so hopefully they will be appreciated gifts, and that idea makes me pleased.
Guess I'll just have to save up. Or retire.
