I would think this will draw a lot of interest, well hopefully it does. It has got to be the most exclusive bottling of Ardbeg to come available. Out of my price range but i would hope it fetches well in excess of £10000

[Samson]

Beyond my price range but it will be very interesting to see what it sells for. Good luck to them i hope they get loads.
