The BBC reports that a hotel in England sold one of the world's most expensive bottles of whisky. A businessman paid over $58,000 for a bottle of Dalmore 62 Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky, at the Pennyhill Park Hotel, Bagshot, Surrey, on May 24. Only 12 of the bottles were produced in 1942. The hotel reports that the man bought the bottle and drank most of it in one night with five incredibly lucky friends. The identity of the buyer remains a mystery but he is a regular hotel guest and a collector of spirits. The man kept the bottle and the presentation case as a memento. Each of the bottle has its own handprinted label and unique name. This one was called the Matheson, named after the owner of the Dalmore Estate. One bottle has been kept by the spirits company Whyte and Mackay and the other ten are in private collections and the Matheson may be the first bottle opened and enjoyed by its owner. We can only wonder what the mystery man was celebrating.
