Rare whisky could sell for ‘nearly £1m’
A BOTTLE of rare whisky is expected to fetch up to £900,000 when it goes under the hammer later this year.
The 1926 Macallan Valerio Adami will be auctioned at Bonhams Whisky Sale in Edinburgh in October with an estimation of between £700,000 and £900,000.
Bottled in 1986, the 60-year-old whisky was bought direct from the Macallan distillery for an undisclosed sum in 1994.
A similar bottle was sold at Bonhams Hong Kong in May this year for £814,081 - the most ever paid for a bottle of Scotch whisky at public auction.
Only 12 bottles of the special whisky with a label designed by Italian pop artist Valerio Adami were produced.
