The world’s largest bottle of whisky is set to be auctioned on 25th May. Last year, Guinness Book of World Records certified that the bottle containing 1989 Macallan single malt is the largest bottle of Scotch whisky in the world. It is also expected that the said auction could also break the record of the most expensive whisky ever bought.
The bottle is 5ft. 11 inches tall and 86 gallons of 32-year-old single malt Macallan whisky flows in it. The bottle is named Intrepid. The bottle was created by Fah Mai Holdings Group Inc. & Rosewin Holdings PLC, and will be auctioned at Lyon & Turnbull. A portion of the revenue accrued from the sale of bottle will be directed towards the Marie Curie charity.
The whisky was distilled on 3rd May 1989, and then was transferred to oak hogheads. Thereafter it was left undisturbed at The Macallan Distillery for 32 years.
According to Lyon and Turnbull website, the whisky has “a very mild and gentle note. Gradually opens to present scents led by baked apple (and baked apple skin), supported by pear in syrup and a suggestion of flaked almond, on a base note of short-crust pastry. All subtle and understated. A drop of water introduces a trace of vanilla fudge and a whisper of dry sherry."
