Bottle of The Macallan 1926 sells for record ￡1.5m
BBC | 10-24-19The Macallan 1926 60-year-old single malt from cask number 263 had been estimated to sell for between ￡350,000 and ￡450,000.
Sotheby’s, which held the auction, did not release the identity of the buyer.
The previous auction record for a single bottle of Scotch was ￡1.2m, set by another bottle from the same cask in November last year.
Sotheby’s described The Macallan 1926 from cask number 263 as the “holy grail” of whisky.
Iconic bottles The cask, which was distilled in 1926 and bottled in 1986, produced only 40 bottles.
The bottle featured at the auction as part of what Sotheby’s termed the “ultimate whisky collection”.
The entire collection of 467 bottles in 394 lots sold for ￡7,635,619 – about double the pre-auction estimate.

Oh all the money that e’er I spent
I spent it in good company
And all the harm that e’er I’ve done
Alas, it was to none but me
And all I’ve done for want of wit
To memory now I can’t recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Just put the 100k on my tab, LOL
