A bottle of Macallan Valerio Adami whisky costs $1.1 Million (about N396 Million). It just shattered the record previously held by another Macallan bottle of scotch which sold for $1 Million last May. This record was broken on Wednesday.
Macallan Valerio Adami bottle of whisky was just sold in an auction in Edinburgh, Scotland. The 60-year-old bottle of Whisky fetched a world-record price of $1.1 million at a Bonhams’ whisky sale Wednesday.
The whisky was distilled in 1926 and bottled in 1986.
The bottle was designed by artist Valerio Adami as an extremely limited edition. The buyer is a U.K.-based whisky connoisseur who was in a taxi in Italy when the hammer came down, the Telegraph reports.
This particular whisky bottle which sold for $1,101,729 is significant because of its blend of rarity, vintage look and artwork, experts say.
“The Macallan 1926 60-year-old has been described as the Holy Grail of whisky,” Bonhams whisky specialist Martin Green said in a release. “Its exceptional rarity and quality puts it in a league of its own, and the world’s most serious whisky collectors will wait patiently for many years for a bottle to come onto the market.”
“All the appeal of Scotch whisky — the myth, the tradition and the romance — find its ultimate expression in this bottle,” said renowned international whisky consultant Charles MacLean.
