Two bottles from the stocks of “Whisky Galore” were auctioned
Two rare bottles salvaged from the shipwreck that inspired the book and film Whisky Galore are being auctioned.
The collectors' items were part of the cargo on the 8,000-tonne SS Politician, which sank off the shores of Eriskay, in the outer Hebrides, in 1941 – BBC wrote.
The incident inspired Compton Mackenzie's book Whisky Galore and an Ealing comedy of the same name.
They were bought by an unidentified UK buyer who fought off rival bids from collectors around the world to win the auction with his or her bid of 12,050 pounds. (MTI)
