Christies auction house in New York auctioned off an 81 year old bottle of scotch that was originally distilled in 1926 during prohibition. The bottle of MACALLAN sold for a whopping $54,000.00. Click here for the story.
In case you were wondering, (You know I was)
750ml bottle = just about 17 shots (1.5oz/shot)
$54,000.00 divided by 17 shots = $3176.47 per shot
Now, as most of you know, I enjoy an occasional scotch myself and have been lucky enough to sample quite a few really good ones. I have even spent as much as $30.00 for a glass of Johnnie Walker Blue Label, which by the way, I didn't think was the best I have ever tasted. As much as I enjoy scotch I can hardly imagine the spirit worth 3 thousand dollars a shot.
Although I would be interested in trying a sip of an 81 year old single malt. (in case the anonymous buyer is looking for volunteers that would appreciate a good drink)
