Whisky a go gone

I don't drink spirits very often. When I do I really like a good single malt whisky. So imagine my utter joy at winning a bottle of 25 Year Old Glenlivet in a raffle. It was lovely stuff the colour of sunset & smooth as Leslie Philips. I savoured every mouthful of the couple of glasses I had the night I won it.

But as I said I don't really drink spirits that often so it remained in the drinks cupboard untouched, or so I thought.

Months later I remembered this lovely whisky and went to the cupboard to poor myself one. Opened the cupboard and stood in shock, it's nearly all gone!

I question Mrs Duck (even though she doesn't really like whisky) "oh yeh I had tooth ache for a couple of days the other week, whisky is good for tooth ache isn't it?"

How much did this "mouthwash" cost? .....£190 ! I know it didn't cost me that but I'm not going to be buying a bottle anytime soon

Oops
Your face would have been a lot like my dad's a week after my 18th birthday... when he found me and my mates downing glasses of whisky and coke to get drunk quickly - problem being that the whisky in question was the 18yo Ardbeg he'd bought me (and to my shame it was own-brand cola)

I've got a 10yo Ardbeg right now, and would dearly love some 18
Own brand cola?! Arrrrghh!

Story from Scottish Malt Whisky Club (sunny Perth, Australia branch)
Not a rich member had a collection built over many years to sample from occasionally.
He has the peaty ones, the island specials, the ones from distillaries now closed forever..
One winters' night, a friend comes over, mentions that he's a whisky fan.
So the member generously opens the cupboard of delights - to find just one bottle. Surprised, he calls to his wife and asks if she's moved his whisky collection. The response:
"Oh, they were all nearly empty, so I put them into one bottle.."

I think I'd probably cry
Surely he would have discussed his collection at some point - she must have known?

Fair point..
But given how much these cost, he may have kept it quiet from the missus.
