Sort of :p
When I was there had a bash on which ever their single cask at the time was, and have to say, it was the tastiest most unforgettable drink I've ever come across . Normally they are only available in the shop at about £65/bottle or 2 for £100 or thereabouts.
I got two and was told about how people manage to drink high end whiskies for free. I.E. buy more than you need at the time, drink what you want, then sit on the rest until it becomes sought after, then sell the remaining bottles to collectors with too much cash and break even or better :p
With that in mind I though, ah, £100, 2 bottles, drink 1 and sell the other. But it was harder than that, HOW could I possibly allow someone else to drink my bottle? I saved it for months before eventually giving in and cracking it open, and likely if I came across another for sale, even at a greatly marked up price, I would probably buy it, it was THAT good.
Can't remember its name exactly, but it had been finished in a Madeira cask.
