World's Largest Whisky Bottle In Small Scottish Village

Filed under: Spirits

A small Scotch whisky distillery has put itself on the map by producing the world's largest bottle of whisky. The bottle of single malt was filled by hand with nearly 28 gallons of 14-year-old Tomintoul Speyside Glenlivet Scotch. The five-foot-high bottle holds around 150 standard bottles and the cork had to be hammered in with a huge mallet. The bottle will be on permanent display at the Clockhouse in the village square at Tomintoul village in Scotland. Tomintoul is said to be the highest village in the Highlands of Scotland in the Speyside region. Tomintoul Distillery uses water from Ballantruan Spring, a nearby natural spring in their Tomintoul Speyside Glenlivet Single Malt which is billed as "the gentle dram" on their website.

The list of "things Iran has that the U.S. doesn't" is a pretty short one, but one item to be found on it would be this: the world's largest handmade carpet. At 60,546 sq ft the carpet is larger than a soccer field and took 18 months and 1,200 weavers to make. Red and green in color, it was created and assembled from 9 individual sections and has over 2.2 billion knots.

So where does a rug of this size find a home? Well this one, worth an estimated $5.8 million, is destined for a mosque in the United Arab Emirates.
