Adhesive Joins Silver Mounts to Very Costly Whisky
In October 2010, two bottles of 64-year-old Trinitas malt whisky distilled at The Dalmore Distillery in Alness, Scotland, sold for a staggering £100,000 each (about $125,000 today). One bottle was sold in the United States; the other was sold in the United Kingdom.
At the time, £100,000 was a world record price to pay for a bottle of whisky—and the first time a bottle of whisky ever sold for a six-figure sum, says David Robinson, rare whisky director at The Dalmore Distillery. That price was eclipsed in January 2011 when Dalmore sold a bottle of 62-year-old whisky for £125,000 (about $250,000 at the time).
