Conclusion:
Something special that was created by a terrible evident that happened in the warehouses when the roof collapsed by the amount of snow unto of it. This is something that was created only once in 2010 and will never happen again (Although the name Snow Phoenix ) This special edition is unfortunately only available secondary market and auctions. This is why the price for this whisky is so extremely high. But it is a one of a kind creation.
