I'm thinking of buying a few bottles to give to friends.

http://www.packagingdigest.com/artic...905958078.html

For $2,000 - and a whole lot of patience - each buyer will receive one of a
limited series of 25 bottles to be filled in 2108 from a keg recently buried
in Glenfiddich Distillery's warehouse No. 8 in Dufftown, Scotland. Only 12
bottles are available in Canada through MKG127 gallery at 127 Ossington Ave.

As befits a promise not to be fulfilled for at least two generations, A
Drink To Us stipulates that any purchaser abide by a lengthy series of terms
and conditions, starting with being of legal drinking age at time of
purchase and having a lot of trust in the distillery. "There will be no
marker at the 'burial site' and its location will be known only through
hearsay over the years," states one of the terms. Yikes

Good luck! Even immensely old companies like Wedgewood go out of
business as was recently announced. I've never tried Scotch that old but
I think I'd have to have someone treat me to it and I wonder how well it
would mature in the bottle. I'm not counting on being around in 2108 and
even a minimum age drinker might be lucky to enjoy whisky at an age of
121!

Sounds like a good idea to me. Now, If I can only find 25 people
...................

Too many things can happen in a century, and that much money would be spent
better if only to buy dying children toys.
