    Hi All,

    *Whisky GALORE: Father retires early after selling Scotch collection for ?225,000

    *After spending ?4,700 on 2 casks of whisky in 1994, a dad has sold them both for a whopping ?225,000 some 30 years later ? despite not being a whisky expert!

    Bank manager, Rick Parfitt, says he will use the money to pay off his mortgage and retire 3 years earlier than he had planned.

    Parfitt spent ?3,200 on a cask of single malt Macallan and a further ?1,500 on a cask of Tobermory in the hope that they would be worth more in the future.

    His luck was in, netting a return of 4,700% - and TAX FREE as whisky is classed as a ?wasting asset? by HMRC.

    Canadian "whisky"... Probably not. ;-)

    Doesn't seem like anything special, but you never know until you try to sell it. It's value if anything will be in it's scarcity...


    Bye, Wilfred.
