That’s a pretty sweet story, I’d love to taste some of that.

It would be interesting from a historical perspective, but I was always under the impression that once a spirit was bottled its character changed very little after a short maturity phase.  So it may only be 100 year old, 6-year whisky.

That is a point I considered…the only true way to know is to get a Taste…
Bet the average joe schmoe…won’t be able to do that!
Heck, even be lucky just to find the tasting notes from someone else…

From what I’ve read, they don’t expect the taste to be all that.  The biggest benefit that they talk about is that, since the original recipe is long lost, they may be able to analyze this stuff to re-create it.
