NEW MALT WHISKY WORLD RECORD

Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky in Huntly has taken the Guinness World Record for the largest bottle of malt whisky. The team took over an hour to fill the largest ever bottle of whisky, earning the 1.8m high bottle a spot in the record books. The bottle, holding 311 litres of 32-year-old Macallan, beat the previous record by 83 litres, set by the Famous Grouse Experience in August 2012 at 1.7m high and holding 228 litres. The recordbreaking whisky will be auctioned off and may break a further world record for the highest price for a bottle of whisky ever bought.
