New whisky record at Bonhams auction

A bottle of the extremely rare The Macallan Valerio Adami 1926 whisky was sold at Bonhams Whisky Sale in Edinburgh on 3 October setting a new world record of 848,750 pounds.

The previous world record was set by Bonhams in May this year when another bottle of The Macallan Valerio Adami 1926 was sold for 814,081 pounds.

Bonhams Whisky specialist in Edinburgh Martin Green commented:” I am delighted at this exceptional result. It is a great honour to have established a new world record, and particularly exciting to have done so here in Scotland, the home of whisky. Bonhams now holds the record for the three most valuable bottles of whisky ever sold at auction.” (bonhams, index, Koroknai Gergely)
