A bottle of the world's oldest whisky,
Glenfiddich Rare Collection 1937, will be auctioned off on April 4 in Vanderbilt
Hall at Grand Central Terminal. The auction is part of New York's Tartan Week celebration. A single cask of whisky
produced 61 bottles of the whisky and due to import laws, this bottle is the only 750ml bottle of the 1937 ever
produced. The spirit was aged in cask for 64 years and bottled in 2001. The profits from the auction will benefit City
Harvest, which seeks to end hunger in New York. The whisky is said to have a nose of toffee, cinnamon and cloves and a
sweet, cedar palette. Recently in
an article on one
of the bottles in South Africa, the prices was listed as being around $29,000 but since this is a one-off bottle
the price might go even higher.

Glenfiddich has its supporters and detractors. I rank myself as a supporter - eventhough I'm not a whisky drinker. Their distillery en Ecosse is quite special and well worth the visit.
