Plus you probably don't just toss a 374 liter cask into the back of your Subaru.There are also words about how the buyer has to get it out of the warehouse in a hurry and have a licensed person to take custody. And apparently it is currently "in bond" which I think the means the buyer has to pay alcohol duities on it when he removes it from the warehouse.
The added costs just keep coming. You probably have to pay to park when you pick it up, too.

That's nice and all, but for this mission I think you're going to need the Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang version.I'm here to help. I can remove the box for good causes. I think this qualifies. View attachment 167186

The Ardbeg 10 is a bit too heavy on the peat. The smokiness overpowers the other flavors, IMO.Tried my first Ardbeg, Ardbeg Drum, at a local watering hole.
Apparently it's rum cast finished.
If Drum is representative of the regular 10/12 year, I get the appeal.
Love the full bodied taste, with high notes. The finish was just ok; I'm thinking the regular would be fuller.
Didn't take a picture, here's someone else's review for reference.
I like the 10. It's HUGE. The other bonus is no one else likes it and I don't have to share.The Ardbeg 10 is a bit too heavy on the peat. The smokiness overpowers the other flavors, IMO.
I need to pull out the box and see if they listed it, but it’s about 200 miles away.So .... what all was in the pot?
