The whisky was distilled over 90 years ago and aged in a European oak cask for 60 years; it has now become known as the \u201cHoly Grail\u201d of whisky.\u00a0 A bottle of 1926 Macallan was offered in a sale titled \u2018The Ultimate Whisky Collection&#8217; and became the star of the 392 lots (467 bottles), all offered by a single American collector.<\/p>\n<p>You may remember a little over a year ago, I wrote about one of the bottles that sold for $1.1M.\u00a0 Since then, several others have made it to the auction block, each bringing more than a million dollars. This bottle smashed its estimate of \u00a3350 \u2013 450K ($450-550K) when it sold for \u00a31.45M ($1.9M).\u00a0 Not sure I would really appreciate the taste enough to open it, but if you are the lucky owner, you might as well drink up and enjoy because at some point, it could go bad, or the seal will leak, or worst of all &#8212; someone will pick up the bottle a drop it!\u00a0 Now, in case you are wondering, the entire sale was expected to bring in between $4.9 and $5.9 million and when the bidding was over, almost $10 million was paid out.\u00a0 That makes for some very expensive shots! Happy Holidays!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are looking for a unique drink to celebrate the holidays, or toast the New Year, look no further than a bottle of 1926 Macallan whisky (only 40 bottles were produced).
