Strange coincidence considering my previous post, but a 50 year old Macallan has sold at auction for £11,750 to become (possibly) the most expensive bottle of single malt in the world.
I say possibly, because it's never clear whether past sale prices should be adjusted for inflation, or different bottles of different volumes compared, and then there's always some asshole who packs scotch into a diamond studded crystal bottle...
In any case, this Macallan seems to have as good a claim as any on the "most expensive" label. It's composed of whisky from three casks all laid down around 80 years ago, and bottled in 1978.
