Aside from being a truly laughable marketing manoever, it has absolutely nothing in common with the Manager's Choice Collection.

Might have thought to purge the large bottle with CO2, nitrogen or argon before pouring. At least purging the head space beneath the cork would have been wise. I think I'm looking at this way too seriously. But a bottle like that is a lifetime of whisky!

Nice bit to read from the link John provided, and the pictures are good too. To sam k:

On display at the distillery? For sale to the highest bidder for charity? Just curious. Nice job, Tomintoul, and definitely some positive publicity!
