The whisky toasting the demise of Lehman Brothers bank

Post by Single Malt Yinzer »

A London entrepreneur decided that the whole world should be able to taste one of the most profound company collapses in modern times. On 15 September nine years ago 25,000 people lost their jobs when the bank went bankrupt.

James Green says he was inspired to keep the bank's name alive by the significance of those events.

"After living through the economic disaster of 2008, it really resounded with me. I personally related to it, there were people in my neighbourhood, my family that were personally affected by the crash," he says.

He says his three different whiskies, one of which is named Ashes of Disaster, have been specially crafted to capture the flavour of the once mighty bank's fall from grace.

I hope that either/both:
1) It's smokey as the ashes of the bank
2) It tastes like a disaster.
