Ardbeg is releasing 40 YR old Malt Whisky

  Monday, July 17 2006

Whisky and Distilleries

This week 269 bottles of 40 YR old Ardbeg 1965-Vintage malt will go up for sale. The price of each of those bottles is £2,000. Each bottle is made of hand-blown glass and includes a numbered wax seal to prove its authenticity. 100 of these bottles will be sold to Harrods in London. A real collectors item according to Harrods but way out of my league. Campbell Evans, of the Scottish Whisky Association, added: "The person buying this can expect a smoky whisky with an aroma of the sea." Interesting fact is that earlier 40 YR and older bottlings were sold for almost £4,000. If you think this is expensive what about this: A Macallan Fine and Rare Collection, 1926 60 YR old for the price of $38,000 but it is sold out. There is however a hotel in the US where you can still by a single dram for $ 3,300. If you are still in the market for an expensive dram try this one: The Macallan Fine & Rare Collection, 1939, 40 YR old for as little as $10,125 :-)
