Sotheby´s auctioning the oldest whisky ever to be sold

Distilled in 1940 and crafted from a single, sherry seasoned oak cask, this special edition of ‘The Macallan The Reach’ whisky can be yours if you have at least GPB 110,000 to bid for it. The US-based auction house Sotheby´s will accept bids until October 5 via its website; the whisky with the bottle number 3/288 is encased in a mouth-blown decanter, a bronze sculpture of three hands holding it. The bottle and sculpture are encased in a display cabinet lined in red leather.
