One bottle left

[Rob Allanson]

Fans of Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown will have to move fast if they want to own a piece of distilling history.
Just one bottle remains on the open market from a batch distilled in 1919 after two were sold recently.
Only 24 of these bottles were ever produced, and the final bottle is commanding an impressive £50,000.
Once listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the most expensive bottle of whisky in the world, and with a retail price of £14,000, two of the remaining 3 bottles have been purchased by The World Whisky Index (http://www.worldwhiskyindex.com).
Based in The Netherlands, The World Whisky Index advises consumers on purchasing whisky, and particularly Single Malt Scotch Whiskies, as an investment.

I like to see a picture of a 50,000 GBP bottle of Springbank.

Thanks slojo.

The vat alone is 15% of 50,000 = 7500 GBP.

Amazing...the VAT alone would probably buy you a set of Black Bowmores!
