Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
In 2003, Royal Salute produced 255 bottles of its 50-year-old whisky to celebrate the anniversary of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The whisky was distilled in 1953, aged for 50 years, then bottled.
Bottle Number 1 from that batch of 255 was recently sold in an auction in New Zealand for...$30,000!
Now we've covered high-end and ultra-expensive spirits here at Slashfood before, but I don't ever recall a bottle of Scotch whisky that could be traded in for a pretty decent car. Wow.
The remaining bottles were also sold for a minimum price of $8,888. I think you could still buy a car with that, too.
