Whisky a Go Go at the Bonhams Sale: 50-year-old Dalmore tastes like English marmalade and costs £14k

A rare bottle of Dalmore 50 year-old 1926 leads Bonhams Whisky Sale in Edinburgh tomorrow (wed). It is estimated at £10,000-14,000. The whisky, which has been described as having the complex aroma of old English marmalade, ripe bananas, treacle toffee and fruitcake, comes in a ceramic decanter with its own presentation case. Unusually, the Dalmore Stag emblem is completely intact. The sale has a particularly strong offering of Macallan whiskies with more than 45 bottles – 25 of these come from a distinguished Italian collection.
