Skipton whiskey

Jul 18, 2008 04:22

Skipton, in Yorkshire, was the first place I ever legally bought liquor in a store (in 1974). It was Scots whisky. And my name is Scott! So when I saw this 100-year-old "Scott & Co." flask whiskey bottle from Skipton, I simply had to have it.



The fellow I bought it from dug it out of Skipton earth himself not long ago. It's amazing to me to think that this bottle was buried underground during my every visit to Skipton since 1967, and now, in 2008, it's back in the light again, and it's mine, all mine!
