Rare Pre-War Glenfiddich Sold for £25,200
Filed under: Auctions
A rare single malt has sold for just over £25,000, making it one of the world's most expensive bottles of whisky.
The Glenfiddich, distilled before the start of the Second World War, went under the hammer for £25,200, including the buyer's premium, at auctioneer Bonhams' whisky sale in Edinburgh yesterday.
The 70cl bottle, dating to 1937, was one of only 61 produced and part of a batch of ten released in 2001.
Experts say the single malt smells of fresh peat, burnt leather and oak, and tastes of treacle toffee, creme brulé and toasted almonds.
A world record £29,400 was paid in 2007 for a 19th-century bottle of Bowmore single-malt whisky.
