Only $20,691 for a wee dram

Record-breaking sale in Dubai; two bottles of rare McAllen Scotch whisky sell for £1.2million, approx. US $1.6m.

Distilled in 1926, aged 60 years in sherry-seasoned oak barrels, bottled and released in 1986.

The bottles have labels by artists: Valerio Adami  and  Sir Peter Blake.

Both bottles were bought by an international businessman at an auction hosted by Le Clos, Dubai airport luxury spirits retailers.

With each bottle costing £430,000 and 28 servings in a bottle, £15,000-(US $20,691) for a wee dram.

dramSomething tells me Ralfy will not be reviewing this one .. remember: “A minute in the glass for every year in the cask.”
