A Bottle of whisky dubbed ‘the holy grail of single malts’ set a world auction record yesterday by selling for more than £2 million.
The Macallan Adami 1926 was one of only 12 produced in 1986 by the Speyside distillery.
Yesterday, it broke the previous auction record by more than £700,000 – meaning each of the 28 25ml drams it contains is worth an astonishing £77,857.
The 97-year-old whisky was drawn from the distillery’s legendary cask number 263 and features a label by Italian pop artist Adami.
The bottle, numbered 12/12, went under the hammer at Sotheby’s in London with an estimate of £750,000 to £1.2 million amid interest from collectors around the world.
It was sold to an online bidder after a battle with a rival in the auction room.
