Two extremely rare bottles of whisky are expected to sell for $140,000 each in Vancouver later this month, and one expert says whoever buys it likely won’t even drink it.
Distilled during the Second World War by Gordon and MacPhail, The Glenlivet 80-Year-Old is the world’s oldest single malt Scotch whisky. There are only 250 bottles available in the world, and the first one sold at Sotheby’s Hong Kong for a quarter of a million dollars.
Global whisky expert Nate Gana says he has no doubt the bottles will sell, and he expects their value will significantly increase. “Multiple people will pay, absolutely, seeing the value in something like this. When you think about it, it's actually a very fair price for how much time has elapsed since the creation of this whisky. You're talking about 80 years and only charging $140,000,” he tells CTV News Vancouver.
Gana says getting two bottles to the city is a coup, and speaks to Vancouver being recognized as a market where there’s a thirst for these kinds of high-end products.
