A bottle of The Macallan 1926, described by Sotheby’s auction house as the “most valuable whisky in the world”, on Saturday went under the hammer for a record £2.1 million.
The rare bottle had been expected to raise between £750,000 and £1.2 million but outstripped estimates to fetch £2,187,500 (2.5 million euros, $2.7 million).
