Wed, 28 Oct 2009 20:03:31 +0000 http://blog.maltadvocate.com/?p=2554#comment-11931 If I'm not mistaken, that 12 yo OMC rum-finished Ardbeg for Park Ave. is the one Murray raved about a few years ago. Not sure why Park Ave. couldn't move it sooner by listing it on their website. For the rest, could it be an attempt to move costly stuff that isn't moving in this economy? They list The Double Barrel on their site at $20k, but the bidding for it starts at $15k. If I already knew I could get it at their shop at the upper limit of the price estimate I'd be showing at the auction in the hope of a discount.

Unfortunately, I have two chances of that happening....SLIM and NONE. And slim just left town (with the Dalmore). ;) That would be a very interesting tasting.
