The world's most expensive whisky was sold

A bottle of Macallan was sold at a Sotheby action in Hong Kong for 631 thousand USD. This is a record for the most expensive bottle of single malt whisky sold at auction – Bloomberg wrote.

The Macallan 6-liter “M” Decanter by Lalique beat the previous record of 460,000 USD that was paid at an auction for a bottle of whisky in New York in 2010.
Only four Imperiale “M” Decanters were ever made by the Scottish Macallan distillery, Sotheby’s said.

The 70 centimeters tall crystal glass itself weighed 11 kilogrammes and it is the biggest-ever product of the Lalique glassworks. (portfolio.hu)
