Bottle of Macallan 1926 sold for a staggering $2.1 million on Saturday.

The bottle of Scotch whisky barreled in 1926 and bottled in 1986 sold at auction for over $2 million, shattering records for spirits of its kind.

After being aged in sherry casks for six decades, just 40 bottles of the Macallan 1926 were bottled in 1986.

At that price point, the whiskey is worth approximately $131,000 per shot.

The comment has been made elsewhere that it is unlikely this will ever be opened.
If true, there will be no shots.
Equally, the buyer cares little for the product, only the novelty and “investment.”
Which I find sad; where’s the fun in that?
 
for irrelevant posts, this really takes the cake. why here? the idea that anyone here cares about this shows--shall we say--a certain lack of savvy.

my hunch is that joe dressner would have made a 3 course skewering over dragging us through irrelevant lunacy such as this.

Not so sure, Robert. Joe may have posted it himself, just to skewer it, and to point out his own Schnookery never had risen and never would rise to this level.

Likewise, it seems Pete is posting it in good jest for us to take pot shots at the ridiculous.

Truthfully all of the postings have gone about as expected and been quite interesting, as always.

A Rare Bottle of Whisky Adorned By Pop Artist Valerio Adami Sells for $2.6 Million

Only 40 bottles of Macallan Adami whisky were bottled in 1986. The whisky had already been ageing in casks for 60 years, making it the oldest vintage ever produced by Macallan. Among those bottles, just 12 featured labels designed by Italian Pop artist Valerio Adami, two of which have since been consumed or destroyed.

Valero Adami was born in 1935 and educated at Milan’s Accademia di Brera. In the early parts of his seven-decade career, he created works in expressionist and cloisonnist styles, inspired by Chilean artist Roberto Matta and French Post-Impressionist Paul Gauguin. He is best known for his Pop art work, featuring bold flat color, fragmented images, and dark outlines, influenced by the advertising work of Roy Lichtenstein. The label Adami designed for Macallan in the 1980s features his characteristic black outlines, showing a nude figure looking at a bottle of Macalllan whisky, which also features the same figure on its label.
