One of the oldest and finest choices in the world, this whiskey only produced 40 bottles. It was created in 1926 and bottled later in 1986. It’s the oldest and rarest choice from Macallan. This single malt is dry and concentrated with a price tag around $75,000.
Glenfiddich Janet Sheed Roberts Reserve 1955
On New Year’s Eve of 1955, Glenfiddich created a barrel of Scotch whiskey and it has been aging ever since. This barrel was finally poured into 15 bottles in honor of the passing of the founder, William Grant. The family kept four bottles and auctioned off the rest. It was rumored to sell for around $94,000.
Macallan 1946
The most expensive whiskey was auctioned off in 2010 in a LaliqueCire Perdue decanter. It was sold with the proceeds going to charity. This classic choice from Macallan is the best ever released by the company and it sold for $460,000.
