Hey JJ_BPK!!! They finally found your message
 
The one you dropped a few years ago!


98-year-old message in bottle sets world record
Published August 30, 2012
Associated Press

It was scooped up from the sea after 98 years, and now officials say a message in a bottle discovered in Scotland has set a world record.

Fisherman Andrew Leaper found the bottle-- released in 1914 -- in his nets in April while sailing east of the Shetland Islands, which lie off Scotland's northern coast.

Guinness World Records confirmed Thursday the find is the oldest message in a bottle ever recovered, beating a previous record by five years.

It was released in a batch of 1,890 bottles in a government experiment to map the undercurrents of the seas around Scotland.

Inside each bottle, a postcard asks the finder to record details of the discovery and promises a reward of a sixpence. Unfortunately for Leaper, the coin no longer exists.

:D I'm not that old,,, Yet.. :D

If I toss'd a bottle in while in Scotland, you got to know it was just emptied..

Base on where the bottle was found, I'm betting it's from Speyside..

Maybe an A’bunadh from the Aberlour distillery?? :lifter

The color is almost blood red and it pour like thin honey.

It is one of the few whisky's that you can actually keep in your mouth to enjoy.

No lie.

That is some fine sipping whiskey.

For a Scotch. ;)
