I'm not going to tell you the price. But it's here

It is on Amazon. If you don't want to click the link, google Drinks by the Dram: the old and walnut rare whisky advent calendar.

WhoTF? I mean, seriously, whoTF would buy this? Did they only produce 10 boxes for the 10 richest people in the world?

Looks like a money laundering scam to me!

i want the play-doh one.

"including whiskies worth up to GPB19,000 per bottle"

I feel faint. Instead of buying this, does anyone who can afford it want to pay a poor, struggling university student's (i.e. me) living expenses instead? I'll take you for a pint in my local in gratitude. Go on, come down into the trenches Wink Grin Halo

I'm looking forward to the reviews. Amazon aren't allowing any till it's released. Spoilsports.

She's being weird about the price because it's an affiliate link and she gets paid when you click it... quite smart! Cue loads of similar threads...

"She" is not getting paid. But "She" does not like accusations, that's what "she" does not like.
