Kitchen installer makes surprise find under the floor of home

A kitchen installer has made a surprise find under the floor of a home he was working in.

Craig Harrigan from Perth, Scotland, was pulling out an old kitchen in preparation for the new one to be installed when he found a miniature bottle of whisky with a note attached.

He shared the find on TikTok, captioning the video: "So we're stripping out a kitchen and we found a message under the floor."

The message hidden under the floor read: "Jack and May lived here, three kids and a dog. Kitchen done up during April/May 2001. All the best, have a drink on us."

That makes the bottle of award-winning Glenkinchie whisky at least 20 years old.

The find has charmed TikTok followers, with the video racking up over 110,000 views and comments, one reading: "Aww that was so sweet."

"I hope it is genuine and not a bottle of wee," commented another person.

Another commented: "That's actually so cute. Like that restores my faith in the world. Probably don't drink it if you are using power tools tough."

"How lovely is that," said another TikTok user. "I might do that when mine gets done."

Glenkinchie whisky retails for $199.99 for a one-litre bottle and is one of the pricier spirits you can purchase. It is manufactured at a distillery located on a farm in Scotland dating back to 1825.

"Glenkinchie is very good dram, the distillery is just outside Edinburgh - it doesn't go out of date so you should drink it," said one Scottish local.

"Glenkinchie is a lovely malt," said another. "As long as the seal isn't broken you can definitely drink that."

Further investigations into the origin of the note revealed the bottle of whisky and note were left by the current homeowner's father, from whom she had purchased it.

Harrigan gave the whisky and the note to her as a keepsake.

"As a kid we used to write on the walls, then my parents would hang wallpaper over the top," shared one TikTok user. "Bet my brother now paints over the walls as he lives there."
