A bottle of Scotch whisky dating back to 1926 has just shattered world records, fetching a staggering $1.9 million at a Sotheby’s auction in London.The “Holy Grail” of whiskies with the eye-watering price tag is a bottle of “The Macallan Fine and Rare 60-year-old 1926” single malt. It was distilled in 1926, and aged in casks of “European Oak” for 60 years before being bottled in 1986.
The whisky sold for more than three times the price of reportedly one of the most expensive bottles of French wine ever sold, which went under the hammer at Sotheby’s in New York a year ago. The bottle was the star of an auction of whiskies, put up for sale by a collector, which fetched just under $10 million in total.
The price shattered the record set a year ago, when a bottle of Macallan sold for $1.1 million at an auction in Edinburgh conducted by the British auctioneers Bonhams.
