"expensive scotch" news and stories

Luxist pointed out that The Macallan has bottled some of their finest 50-year old single malt scotch. Not content with the ordinary bottles that were available, it commissioned custom blown glass bottles in the shape of the barrels that the scotch was aged in. The bottle itself will have a crystal stopper and will be packaged in a leather and silk box. 470 bottles of the scotch will be packaged, with 20 for sale in the UK and 100 for sale in the US, with prices starting at $6000 per bottle. The gold-colored whisky has strong flavors of cardamom, black cherries, and chocolate. It should be pointed out that The Macallan has a registry on their website where you can confirm ownership of your bottle in order to prevent someone else claiming ownership, I suppose. Custody is an issue that cannot be taken seriously enough.
