Extraordinary complexity: dried fruits, dark chocolate, antique leather, aged wood, Christmas cake, roasted coffee, distant woodsmoke. A once-in-a-generation dram.
The most expensive bottle of whisky ever sold at auction. Bottled in 1986 after 60 years in a single Sherry cask, only 40 bottles were ever released. This is the holy grail of whisky collecting, having smashed world records at Sotheby's in 2019 with a sale price of £2.7 million.
