Late last year, a hidden trove of whisky was discovered in a cellar room deep within a 13th century Scottish castle. The liquid was subsequently tested and determined to have been distilled back in 1833, making it the oldest known scotch in existence. Now two dozen bottles of it are going under the hammer in a November auction.

    Reminds me of a movie, ‘The Freshman’ with Marlon Brando and Matthew Broderick. The Mafia tells people that they can eat endangered animals for $10,000.00 a plate. Naturally, there’s a line of decadent yuppies a mile long waiting to get into the secret restaurant. [Spoiler] it’s all goat meat, because who has ever tasted what real rhino tastes like?

    It honestly blows my mind that the oldest whiskey on the planet is only from 1833. I dint know why but it feels like there should be more and older.

    Remember, whoever buys this, for whatever price, feels like they’re entitled to that money while children go without: food, water, shelter, electricity, and education.

    They also have armies of useful idiots to defend them in the vain hopes they can join them.
