One other interesting bit from that tour.... around 2010 they had a snow storm which caved in the roof. After having someone review the casks, they could not technically sell them as what they were initially going to (snow/water on the outside of the cask for too long that could have mixed with the whisky inside or something along those lines). So instead of throwing it out, they created a limited edition "Snow Phoenix" which went on to become a huge hit...upwards of $1,000 usd for a bottle.
